The 16x8 backpack is also great for making scrolling displays or small video displays.  In our

example, we set it up to display small bitmap emoticons but you can also display text that

moves - kind of like a sign in front of a miniature car dealership.

This kit comes with:

A fully tested and assembled 16x8 0.8" LED FeatherWing 

2 x ultra-bright square 8x8 yellow matrices

2 x 16-pin header

A bit of soldering is required to attach the two matrices onto the FeatherWing but its very easy

to do and only takes about 15 minutes.
