This recipe will show you a technique that you can use to display text to the user using the scrolling text feature that is available with the microbit library. The LED grid is limited to showing one character at a time. By using the scrolling feature, you can show a message as a sequence of characters that scroll across the display.
In this way, you can create projects that display short messages to the user, even with the limited physical display that is available on the board. This recipe will also show you how to control the speed of this animation and how to have the text loop endlessly on the display.
