The scenario

A maker wants to drive an LED matrix from an ATtiny85 with minimal GPIO pins.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use Charlieplexing to control 12 LEDs with only four pins

02

Add series resistors on each GPIO line for current limiting

Small LED matrix projects where GPIO pins are scarce and a compact display is needed.
