I recently acquired the SparkFun Input and Display Carrier Board for a small project. I am very impressed with the overall functionality. Unfortunately, I needed text rotated 90 degrees from the standard orientation and some adjustability on size. I wrote a few functions to display 8-bit style characters with HyperDisplay. The sketch is available on GitHub if anyone has the same issue.
