littleBits LED Matrix

Attention: The round LED matrix has recently replaced the square LED matrix in the STEAM+ Coding Kit, STEAM+ Coding Class Pack, Code Kit, Code Kit Classroom Bundle, and the Pro Library.

The LED matrix is a colourful display that you can control using code or other Bits. Set it to SIGNAL mode to play with preset programs or switch it to SERIAL mode to program your own graphics with the codeBit. REAL-WORLD ANALOGIES SCROLLING SIGN BOARDS SCOREBOARD TV SCREEN

HOW IT WORKS
You can use different input Bits to control the amount of signal sent to the LED matrix. This will change the display depending on what preset you have selected. All presets require two inputs to fully control them. The LED matrix receives serial data which it translates into images. When the LED matrix is in serial mode you can use the codeBit and littleBits Code Kit app to put up to four matrices together to form a bigger image. To help you tile them in the right direction the case enclosing each LED matrix has dimples and magnets. To display your image correctly use the preset/ channel button on each LED matrix Bit to control which channel and part of the image that the matrix displays.
