Pimoroni PIM353 scroll:bit Display for BBC micro:bit

The scroll:bit from Pimoroni will shed a lot of light on your micro:bit projects!

This display board is made up of a matrix of bright white LEDs, 119 of them in a 17 x 7 grid. The scroll:bit is perfect for displaying scrolling messages, animations, graphs, etc., and will really get your message across.

scroll:bit is easy to use. Just slot in your micro:bit and then code with the block-based Microsoft MakeCode editor, or with MicroPython in the Mu code editor. The whole thing works in a similar way to the built-in LED matrix on the micro:bit, so you should have no problems.

Further instructions can be found at the GITHub repository for the library. The MicroPython library for scroll:bit is also available at GitHub, again with full instructions on how to get going with it.
