7. Connect the “CS” pin on the LED matrix to pin 11 on the Arduino.

Some of the LED matrix boards have the CLK pin in a different location, so be sure to read the small letters on your matrix to be sure you are making the right connection.

PARTS YOU’LL NEED

Your pins may be in a different order!

Read the small letters to be sure.


8. Connect the “CLK” pin on the LED matrix to pin 10 on the Arduino.

Some of the LED matrix boards have the CLK pin in a different location, so be sure to read the small letters on your matrix to be sure you are making the right connection.

PARTS YOU’LL NEED

Your pins may be in a different order!

Read the small letters to be sure.
