The Arduino-compatible maroon shield has an 8x8 LED matrix display with its own microcontroller (Atmel ATmega88A) and two input buttons. The controls are simple: texts and images are easy to send via the serial interface.
The kit is open source and open hardware, and is free to use.
You can let your imagination run free: light effects at night or during the day, scrolling text, display of individual values, funny animations etc.
Use the shield on your robot so that he can share his thoughts with you. Maybe he'll even tell you even that his batteries need charging!
