The position of the LED’s will determine each character.
The following list is only a guideline, other characters can be made, limited only
by your imagination. Bold characters can be made by using two positions to cre-
ate one character. When using the display vertically, it is best to use two positions
per character.
Some examples:

POSITIONS
IMPORTANT:
NOT USED LED POSITIONS MUST BE SHUNTED BY MEANS OF A PIECE OF
JUMP WIRE, EVEN IF NO LED IS USED ON THE ROW,
OTHERWISE SOME LED’S WILL NOT LIT UP OR WILL BE DIMMER THAN
OTHER LED’S.
Tip: for experienced builders only: a shunt can be made by making a short circuit
soldering point at a not used LED positions.
