 - brugerdefinerede hjerte-, smiley- og rakettegn;
-- vandret løbetekst;
+- tekstkort, der skifter på stedet uden vandret scrolling;
 - en animeret 16-kanals "BYTE BEATS"-equalizer;
+- en hoppende pixel, der udnytter displayets 80×16 individuelle pixelpositioner;

 - oppetid og spinner.
 
 Sketchen bruger kun `Wire`, som følger med Arduino-kernen. Den scanner selv
