Designed for easy daisy-chaining with just 3 IO pins, it supports scalable multi-module setups. Ideal for Arduino users, it includes an exclusive library for effortless alphanumeric display and scrolling. The module is compact, energy-efficient, and comes with mounting hardware for professional integration. ## Description This 8 digit seven segment display module (HCMODU0082) is based upon the Maxim MAX7219 LED display driver. The module uses two standard 4 digit seven segment displays to display a total of 8 digits in RED with decimal point. A convenient input and output header allows additional modules to be daisy-chained and controlled with just just 3 digital IO pins. To panel mounting the module has 4 mounting holes and 4 brass pillars with screws are supplied. The Maxim MAX7219 driver allows for each segment of up to 8 digits (with decimal point) to be controlled individually from a serial interface. An 8x8 static ram area stores each digit and multiplexing the display is handled automatically. If you plan to use this module with an Arduino board we have written an exclusive library (HCMAX7219) than allows you to effortlessly display and scroll alphanumeric characters across one or more modules. This can be downloaded from the software section of our support forum. Cable is not supplied. If you require a cable, please see our range of dupont cables.

This has the effect of reducing the voltage on the VCC output pin relative to the voltage applied to its VCC input pin. Therefore when daisy-chaining multiple modules you should either supply 5V to each module's VCC input pin separately, or short out the diode (D1) on each additional module. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00W7MCZ7U | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 123,995 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 66 in LED Segment Displays | | Brand | Hobby Components | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (52) | | Date First Available | 16 April 2015 | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Hardware Platform | Arduino | | Item Weight | 10 g | | Item model number | HCMODU0082 | | Manufacturer | Hobby Components | | Package Dimensions | 8.8 x 3 x 0.6 cm; 10 g | ## Images ![Hobby Components MAX7219 8 Digit Seven Segment Display Module - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Ua5+WWUTL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/51139130-hobby-components-max7219-8-digit-seven-segment-display-module](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/51139130-hobby-components-max7219-8-digit-seven-segment-display-module) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
