The LED matrices displays were first developed in 1970, so the technology is quite old, but I think you will agree that they still look great. In this video, I will use a readytouse board from Pimoroni, using two displays to show something like a clock with Arduino UNO. We will show 4 different digits on what´s supposed to be a 2 digit display. Each display has 5x7 (plus a decimal point) dots, and you can use custom character creators for LCD displays.

The sponsor of today's video is GVDA technology, who provided this cool (actually hot) USBpowered soldering iron:
