- 2 boards * 3 text lines * 7 rows * 90 columns
- Boards have been reverse-engineered (TODO document on wiki)
- One board is missing the PNP transistor for one of the seven rows

This beaglebone is missing its mini-usb port but can be powered via the P9 header using included cable (TODO insert photo)
level shifter
A 3.3V to 5V level shifter is needed (3 signals per board, can probably be optimized to 4 signals total for both boards if they're driven synchronously). As a temporary hack a beestore pro mini from User:flok has been programmed to act as a 6-ch level shifter with pinout:
- PC0 ("A0") → PB0 ("D8")
- PC1 ("A1") → PB1 ("D9")
- PC2 ("A2") → PB2 ("D10")
- PC3 ("A3") → PB3 ("D11")
- PC4 ("A4/SCL") → PB4 ("D12")
- PC5 ("A5/SDA") → PB5 ("D13")
