Feeling a bit limited by the 5×5 matrix? This 1.8 inch micro:bit TFT colour display plugs straight into the BBC micro:bit using an edge connector, and can be programmed in MakeCode or MicroPython!

Example code and data sheets for the micro:bit v1.x are available here.

For the micro:bit v2.x, you can follow our MakeCode tutorial here.

Note: when adding the extension, please use this repository (https://github.com/pitchcat/PXT-WSLCD1in8) as it adds direct draw for faster updates with partial screen writes. It also fixes the ‘program too big’ error on the micro:bit V2.
