This breakout is perfect for readouts that involve two numbers or letters – like countdown timers, percentage readouts, or country codes. You can also use the LEDs for graphical displays – a tiny graphic equaliser perhaps, or creepy light up eyes for a very small pumpkin! Their weird science vibe makes them great for cosplay and wearable projects too.
You can attach this breakout to your Pi’s GPIO directly or via a breadboard with the included headers, but it’s also compatible with our fancy solderless Breakout Garden, which makes it easy to use several different breakouts at the same time.
