## Description

An unashamedly old-school LED matrix display board, capable of mounting six LED matrices each with a 5x7 pixel resolution (for an effective display area of 30x7) plus a decimal point, using the beautiful little Lite-On LTP-305 matrices.

Use between 1 and 6 matrices in your choice of green and/or red. Perfect for building a retro scrolling message display, a tiny 30-band spectrum analyser, or a retro clock.

Micro Dot pHAT also works well with our other pHATs and HATs. You could use it in combination with pHAT DAC to display the audio spectrum, or with [Enviro pHAT](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-enviro-for-raspberry-pi.html) to display its temperature, pressure and light readings.

[The MagPi](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/MagPi50_34009ef29ac.pdf) said that Micro Dot pHAT was *"certainly a cut above the standard seven-segment alternative"* in their four star review.
