I've ordered one piece of this module to play with it and after that I've realized it isn't so easy to put it to work. My first idea was buying of additional electronic driver module to attach on LED matrix but it is difficult to find them. After that I decided to find a schematic in internet but I couldn't find anything more concrete. Can someone explain how to do that?
It's like 3 single-color matrices combined, except you still only have 8 anodes (if common anodes). Then 8 cathodes per color (or vice versa) for 32 pins.
Just google a pinout.
That would probably work out with 3 shift registers or 3 MAX7219's if you don't have 32 pins to spare.
Or if you were having trouble finding something like these, then here:
retired but gives you an idea
As I previously told I couldn't find anything suitable with google. There are some sites which talkin about this topic but in general, they are rather complicated to understand.
The thing which I want to emulate is known as: RGB Matrix – Serial Backpack
According to Eagle schematics they're using 3x 74LS595D, 1x AVR Mega8 and 1x ULN2803. My goal is to achieve this to work on breadboard. It isn't easy but it is OK
There's a difference between finding nothing and finding things you don't understand.
You're trying to make your own breadboard breakout, then? not looking to buy a backpack already made?
OMG I deleted my message
in short, yes. I want to make something to work from breadboard. It is hard to find backpack without LED matrix itself.
could someone try to convert schematics from Eagle file to breadboard?

I've found another interesting design but without schematics
