I ordered some max7219 dot matrix modules from ebay in order to make a scrolling display powered by an Arduino. I took some video of soldering a module together. If you would like to try to make your own module you will need the components below.
- max7219 dot matrix module kits- Search ebay or Amazon (you can also get these presoldered and ready to play)
- Soldering iron (only needed if you are soldering the max7219 dot matrix module kit yourself)
- Arduino
- Jumper wires
- Breadboard
Music used in video is-

Thanks! Bought 8 of these myself. Price was to good to pass up. I strung 8 together http://youtu.be/yUxZaavhfKs but had to tear them down cause my students needed them for the projects… This way I can keep my own setup. =)
Your video was great.

These displays are fun. I watched your video and like your setup.
