The product kit comes with:

o

A fully tested and assembled LED backpack

o

Ultra-bright 4-digit 1.2" tall yellow seven-segment display

o

5-pin header

A bit of soldering is required to attach the matrix onto the backpack but its very easy to do and only takes

about 5 minutes.

Of course, in classic Adafruit fashion, we also have a detailed tutorial showing you how to solder, wire and

control the display. We even wrote very nice libraries for the backpacks so you can get running in under

half an hour, displaying numbers on the 7-segment for either Arduino or Raspberry Pi. If you've been

eyeing matrix displays but hesitated because of the complexity, his is the solution you've been looking for!
