Colin,

It depends, you can buy the assembly 'complete'.
Though it is VERY expensive, compared to an encoder + LEDs.

If only they did PLEDs in decent sizes!!

Its to give you a 'feel' for the value, more as a point of refernce than
anything else.

Very.

Looked into this, again, expensive, you're look at 4 of them.
The big problem of course is that you probably can't put the displays close
enough together. For some reason the only PLEDs I've found have very wide
PCBs compared to some of the standard LCDs.

Hehe, lego?
