Colorduino LED RGB Driver Board w/ 5mm 8x8 Matrix for Arduino
The Colorduino is an Arduino-compatible RGB LED dot matrix driver board, integrating a DM163 constant current driver for hardware 16MHz PWM control across 24 channels. This module facilitates vibrant 5mm 8×8 RGB LED displays, freeing the ATmega328 MCU for other tasks.
Features
- Integrates DM163 constant current driver for 8+6-bit hardware PWM per channel.
- Features 24 constant current channels (100mA each) and 8 super source driver channels (500mA each).
- Supports 8-bit colors with 6-bit correction for each color in every dot.
- Designed for Arduino compatibility, enabling easy cascading of multiple boards via I2C.

The Colorduino is an Arduino-compatible RGB LED dot matrix driver board designed to simplify the control of vibrant LED displays. It ingeniously pairs an M54564 with a DM163 constant current driver, delivering advanced capabilities for displaying rich 8×8 RGB graphics.
A key feature of the Colorduino is its hardware-accelerated 16MHz PWM support across three 8+6-bit channels for each LED color. This dedicated hardware offloads the intensive task of LED control from the ATmega328 microcontroller, significantly increasing CPU bandwidth for other application logic. Developers can focus on creative visual effects and interactions without concerns about software PWM overhead.
For larger displays, the Colorduino supports easy cascading of multiple boards, all manageable via a single I2C bus. This modular design allows for the creation of extensive LED matrices, making it suitable for a wide range of visual projects, from simple indicators to complex graphical interfaces.
