2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click board™, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left
and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male
headers are included with the board in
the package.

4. Essential features
8x8 Y Click™ with it’s
MAX7219
IC gives
additional 8x8
YELLOW
LED matrix to your
design. The
MAX7219
is serial input/
output common-cathode display driver
with SPI interface. It has BCD code-B
decoder, analog and digital brightness
control, 8x8 static RAM and several useful
registers.

1. Introduction
2
Turn the board upside down so that
bottom side is facing you upwards. Place
shorter parts of the header pins in both
soldering pad locations.
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
8x8 Y Click™ is an accessory board in
mikroBUS
™
form factor. It’s a compact
and easy solution for adding 8x8
YELLOW
LED matrix to your design. It features
MAX7219
8-digit LED display driver module
as well as 64
YELLOW
LED diodes. 8x8 Y
Click™ communicates with target board
microcontroller via four
mikroBUS™
SPI
lines (DIN, DOUT, CLK and CS). The board is
designed to use 5V power supply only, but
it can be used with 3.3V MCUs as well.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into desired
mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS™ socket. If all of the pins are
aligned correctly, push the board all
the way into the socket.

6. LED diodes
There are four 8x8 Click™
boards which differ from
each other by color of
LEDs (red, green, blue,
yellow). For more details

7. Code Examples
Once you have done all the necessary
preparations, it’s time to get your click
board up and running. We have provided
the examples for mikroC, mikroBasic and
mikroPascal compilers on our
Libstock
website. Just download them and you are
ready to start.
