The Kitronik ZIP Tile for micro:bit is an 8x8 LED matrix featuring 64 individually addressable full-color RGB ZIP LEDs. It’s designed for creative applications like animations, light displays, or scrolling text. Expansion connectors on the sides and top allow multiple ZIP Tiles to be linked together to create larger displays.
