#160277 - it's good for a school project

some ideas about multiplexing
How big is your display, you can not show 5 charachter in an 8*8.

Multiplexing is a pain in your largest muscle if your display is not tiny, but you keep refusing to explain how you are going to do anything with an 8*8

This is a good idea for a school project, Erik. A 8x8 matrix can be purchased relatively cheaply (around $7-8 in a local brick-and-mortar electronics shop here), but it naturally forces you to multiplex.

Text can be scrolled through it, though. Not easy to read, but may be fun, and certainly educative.

PS [added later]: an example, but I am sure more could be find quite easily
