NeoPixel NeoMatrix 8x8 - 64 WS2812 RGB LED

This NeoPixel matrix carries 64 RGB LEDs (5 × 5 mm) with integrated WS2812B driver on a board with mounting holes. Several matrices can be chained. Each LED is controlled individually via a single output of a microcontroller such as Arduino UNO, Mega or Nano. At full brightness the matrix draws up to 3.84 A, so it needs its own 5 V power supply.
