I've got a loadable driver for the 64x32 RGB LED displays like this one working (13x26cm).

This needs 13 pins to drive the display and an external 4A 5V power supply to light all pixels in white.

The driver allows you to use all the normal Micromite commands: BOX, TEXT, CLS etc. to drive the display and implements the background scanning transparently.

The driver currently implements 8 colours i.e. 3 bits per pixel but I can expand this if I optimise the code.

Let me know if this is interesting and I'll work to enhance the functionality.

Current refresh rate is 62.5FPS on an MX170 Micromite so everyone except WW should find it reasonably flicker free

I'll mock up a changing demo tomorrow to put on youtube
