  • the module can function down to 2v or so.

    What do you mean by that? The MDBT42 docs page says it accepts 1.7-3.6v range.

    you can 'scan' them out

    Do you mean multiplexing and using persistence of vision?

    Agreed, one needs to read carefully, reading beneath heading 'Bare Module'

    'All you need to get the MDBT42Q working is to apply power between the VDD and GND pins'

    could get one in trouble, if one applies the wrong range as indicated. I mis-interpreted '2.5 - 16v voltage input' so might others.

    Perhaps a 'Bare board features' beneath 'Breakout board features' summary in order to get it right the first time ?

    Or a sub-heading beneath 'Features' ?

    Also, overall outside dimensions for both would be nice. (which one is listed beneath the features heading? bare?)


    FYI A word of planning Caution: Do you @Marty_McFly have a good plan on the use of the bare module? It's beyond my ability (16mm x 10mm) to easily solder it, and the breakout, although larger is also a bit of a soldering challenge for me, even with magnification.
