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

Just slot in your micro:bit, then code scroll:bit with the block-based , or with MicroPython in the . 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 
• Microsoft MakeCode and MicroPython support
• No soldering required!

Software 

You can code scroll:bit with the block-based , that'll get you started with the concepts of how to code a matrix of LEDs or, if you want to delve deeper, then you can use MicroPython in the .

To add the scroll:bit library in MakeCode, click on the cog at the top right hand corner, then "Add Package", then search for "scrollbit". You can find full instructions at the .

Our MicroPython library for scroll:bit is also , again with full instructions on how to get going with it.
