scroll:bit LED display for micro:bit

scroll:bit is a little display with a lot of pixels! Its 119 bright white LEDs are perfect for scrolling messages with your micro:bit, or for animations, graphs, and more!

Just slot in your microbit, then code scroll:bit with the block-based Microsoft MakeCode editor, or with MicroPython in the Mu code editor. It works in a very similar way to the built-in red LED matrix on your micro:bit, so if you've used that then you'll know exactly what to do.

Features:

• Comes fully-assembled and ready to use.
• 17x7 matrix of bright white pixels (119 total).
• Individual PWM brightness control of each pixel.
• Uses the IS31FL3731 LED matrix driver chip.
• Compatible with micro:bit.

• No soldering required!
