I think that DJ said earlier that 8 of these can be run off of one I2C bus. Dont quote me on the exact number but I think that is the correct number.

Yes it's 8.They work on I2C addresses 0x70-0x77. You could run two or more on the same address but they would mirror each other since both would respond to the commands sent to the address.

Also - stay tuned because Jeremie is working on a similar ez-bit from us that will be using RGB led's instead of single static color. It will be an extension to the existing RGB Animator that is used in 18 RGB LED Block and Humanoid Head with Camera & RGB Eyes

It'll blow the adafruit 8x8 out of the water...

@DJ.... OK, you're going to have to stop teasing like that.... You know I have an ez robot addiction... My shrink is really going to be mad at you (or happy, not sure which)...:D

Now that's something I'm looking forward to. I have a few ideas for them. That will be a great addition to the shop.:D

Well - you'll be addicted to the stuff jeremie is making. I will/should be seeing prototypes tomorrow. They should be in the store in March. What are they?

Let's see... a gps module, an accelerometer, a gyro, a compass... maybe a few others:)

We even made them small enough to be clip'n'play and attach to existing revolution robots. Now we're getting serious!
