Project:LED Notification board2

Let's work as a group on a micro-controller project!

We are building a new LED notification board for the workshop, adapted from Solexious' project. We're using this project as a learning platform for the new Not Just Arduino members.

We had interesting discussions & contributions from Jasper, TimS, Sue and Artag, everybody welcome to contribute.

Specs:

- 4 x DE-DP10XV110 Green LED Dot Matrix available in the space

What extra functionalities do you want to add to the actual board?
