The RGB 8x8 display reference design has a matrix of 64 full color LEDs. Each LED can be individually controlled by ARC to form messages, pictures, games, and more! A unique feature of this display is that it is a smaller form factor (48x48mm) than common RGB matrix displays (60x60mm). We want to share these files with you so you can create your own!

    ARC Skill


    The ARC skill for this reference design is very easy to use! Simply add an animation frame, click on the pixels, choose the color, and repeat! Activate the animations with the click of a mouse button or with code.
