PIXIE CHROMA is a dual-5x7 character display for Arduino that can be easily chained to create easy-to-use displays as long or tall as you'd like!
Each PCB features 70 addressable WS2812-compatible RGB LEDs in two side-by-side 5x7 grids that can display numbers and characters. Each Pixie Chroma can be controlled with as little as a single GPIO, and can be chained together to make longer character displays.
Please Note: The Arduino library only supports ESP32 family, ESP8266 or Teensy 3.x chipsets! You cannot use Arduino boards with SAMD, ATmega, or nRF chipsets, for example.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
