Customizing MB-1


In addition to customizing the operating features of MB-1, you can also use different color 7-Segment LEDs (user provided).

 


 

7-Segment LEDs are Replaceable

For an unlimited choice of 7-segment LED colors, you can use any color common cathode .52 inch 7-segment LED with a compatible footprint and current rating. MB-1s come with blue 7-segment LEDs. This color, by far has been the most popular.
