From the project
A 16-segment RGB LED display
A 16 segment digit (base board) using WS2812B/SK6812 5050 parts. Size should be about 5.2"x3.9" (132mmx100mm).
The segments can be chained, just like a normal WS2812b strip, and each board has separate power and signal lines to facilitate ease of driving multiple digits chained together.
A small example script to "drive" the digits is located in the src/ directory.
