LED MT1208
12x8 LED Matrix
- Overview
- Commands
- Samples
- On-Module Code
A 12×8 LED matrix (96 individually addressable LEDs) for scrolling text, simple graphics, basic games, and any project that needs pixels. The module handles the row-column scanning internally — set individual LEDs or whole rows with simple text commands over any supported interface, no multiplexing code in your host.
Common uses: scrolling marquees, simple sprite-based games, sensor visualization, classroom Conway's-Game-of-Life demos, and matrix-art installations.

Modules ship without cables to reduce waste. Some specialty boards include a USB cable; for the rest, see Cables to add cables to your order.
Commands this module accepts. See Samples for runnable code in popular host languages.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
Init() | Initialize the module. Automatically called on power up. |
DVer() | This driver version. |
Peek under the hood
The script below is this module's driver — it teaches the hardware how to respond to the commands listed above. It ships pre-loaded from the factory; most users never need to open it.

This sample runs in MicroBlocks on a any host board that's connected/tethered to this module, or a chain of modules. This module keeps its official DUELink firmware and module driver and responds to commands from the connected MicroBlocks-running host. New here? See the MicroBlocks page.
There are two ways to use it:
Open the full sample — the complete project (the module's library plus a ready-to-run example) opens directly on the MicroBlocks website.
Add just the libraries to your own project — copy the link, then in your MicroBlocks project click Add Library → Cloud and paste it. This loads this module's libraries into your project without replacing your current work.
Copy Library LinkCode that runs directly on this module's MCU. See how On-Module Code allows modules to run standalone.
- Script
This example runs using the default DUELink Internal Engine using its Scripting Language, and it expects the module's driver to be loaded first, see the Commands Tab.
