Displaying a single character on the LED display

This recipe will show you how we can use the 5 x 5 array of LEDs that comes with the board to display characters and numbers. The display object has a show method that will do the mapping from characters and numbers to the bitmap image that needs to be displayed on the LEDs. These LEDs are one of the main forms of output on this board, so this recipe will provide you with a valuable means to interact with the scripts you put on the board.

Getting ready

You will need to have the Mu text editor installed and configured, as well as your Micro Bit board connected to your computer.
