This handy Dot Matrix Display Connector allows you to plug an LED panel straight in to an Arduino-compatible board.
Our big, bright LED panels come with a Dot Matrix Display Connector included in the box so that you don't need to buy one separately, but it also works with LED panels from some other suppliers such as Jaycar.
