Adafruit LED backpacks

Porting was straightforward enough -- remove cost(), replace i2c.writeto() and i2c.readfrom() with i2c.write() and i2c.read(), etc. The code is at https://bitbucket.org/thesheep/microbit ... ht16k33.py and the result looks something like this:

And I forgot to make the repository public. For everybody who tried to click that link, it should be working now. Sorry about that.
