Hello All,

I have been searching for a color screen add-on for Micro:bit V2. I found the Waveshare 1.8 in. LCD for Micro:bit, but the communication/operation is way too slow. 45 seconds to display a rectangle in two colors. I have played with OLED, but they are not full color.

Micro:bit simply may not have the umph to operate a color screen, but wondering if anyone has found a product?

I noticed Arcade has a radio block and was hoping that would allow a pybadge to talk to a Micro:bit, but a test seemed to verify the two operate the radio in a non-compatible way…or am I wrong?

Many Thanks  
Kevin
