Micro Dot pHAT Driver

Project description

Micro Dot pHAT https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/microdot-phat

Micro Dot pHAT is an unashamedly old school LED matrix display board, with up to 30x7 pixels, using the Lite-On LTP-305 matrices. Perfect for building a retro scrolling message display or a tiny 30 band spectrum analyser.
