Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between common anode and common cathode?
In the case of common anode, all LEDs share a single positive connection. In the case of common cathode, all LEDs share a single negative connection.

How can I control individual LEDs on the matrix?
Use the code to select specific rows and columns of the matrix. Check the product datasheet for detailed instructions.

Which libraries are needed to use this matrix?
Check the product datasheet for the specific library required or use a generic one like Adafruit NeoPixel if supported.
