LED Modules - Red
PRODUCT ID: 3248
Description
Looking for an unashamedly old school LED matrix display board? Lookie here! The
Pimoroni Micro Dot
pHAT
is made up of six
red
LED matrices, each 5x7 pixels (for an effective display area of 30x7) plus a
decimal point, using the beautiful little Lite-On LTP-305 matrices.
Perfect for building a retro scrolling message display, a tiny 30-band spectrum analyzer, or a retro clock.
Far out!
As with the other pHATs, it works with all of the 40-pin Raspberry Pi variants - 3/2/B+/A+/Zero - but
using it with the Pi Zero makes for a super-tiny package.

Micro Dot pHAT also works well with other pHATs and HATs. You could use it in combination with

light readings. Give it a try!
Note:
These pHAT boards require you to solder on the headers and LTP-305 modules (through-hole
components). Works with any 40-pin Raspberry Pi variant.
