Six glass tubes with cork stoppers and all accessories included.
- MIX AND MATCH COLORS AND STYLES Each MAX7219 driver controls two 4-digit 0.28" displays as one continuous 8-digit display with decimal points or colons. Combine red and blue digits, decimal and clock styles to create your own custom configurations. Three ready-to-use pre-built versions plus six DIY modules give you flexible building options.
