Today we are making different faces with Arduino and Matrix Display 8 x 8

Step 1: Prepare Your Stuffs

prepare the materials.

Arduino Leonardo

Led Matrix display with max7219

Jumper wires

Breadboard

Cardboard Boxes (for decoration)

Step 4: Decoration

Decorate it and hide the wires with boxes in the way you like, you could also color the box to make it even more beautiful. Or, you may just put in the boxes and not the wires exposed on the outside.
