Preview of my next project; 2.3" 6 digit display and overview of HQDFM - a PCB design analysis tool.

A short video previewing my next project - a development / display board which is aimed at electronics hobbyists similar to the commonly available MAX7219 based modules sold on eBay / AliExpress etc. They typically have 0.3-0.56" digit heights, mine has 2.3" digit heights.

The board is compatible with all microcontrollers and has an onboard logic level translator making it directly interfaceable to 3.3V microcontrollers. It features diagnostic LED's to help with development of your code and troubleshooting issues giving a visual indication of the data, clock and latch lines.

When this project is finished I will release a demo video giving instructions on how to use it and provide demo code for the Arduino. I will also likely publish it to common hobbyist sites such as Arduino Project Hub, Hackster.io and others.
