This is a full-color RGB LED matrix driver shield. It functions just like the Colorduino, though simplified, except that it does not support cascading. The code of the two is completely compatible. Just plug the module onto an Uno board (Arduino, SunFounder, or other compatibles) for use. DM163 is used as the driver chip on the driver shield.
You can just plug the 8×8 RGB LED dot matrix screen on the shield for use. It supports the display of all the three primary colors, namely, red, green, and blue, either separately or in a mixed way, and can flash at most 256 x 256 x 256 = 16,777,216 colors display.

NOTE:
The shield only supports a common-anode LED dot matrix screen.
The shield itself does not support any functions; it needs to be plugged onto an Uno board for normal use.
