Adafruit 14-Segment Alphanumeric LED FeatherWing

The Adafruit 14-Segment Alphanumeric LED FeatherWing adds a bright 4-digit alphanumeric display to any Feather board. The 0.56" 14-segment LEDs can display the full alphabet, numbers, and punctuation — readable from up to 7 metres away.

An onboard HT16K33 matrix driver handles all the LED multiplexing over I2C, so only the shared SCL and SDA pins are needed. This leaves the rest of your Feather's GPIO free for other sensors and peripherals. The I2C bus can also be shared with other devices.
