Programmable LCD Tile - Small

Description
This blueprint is a predefined tile made for the Programmable LCD Display to make it easier to build.

Setting up the screen

1. Place a programmable block
2. Paste the LCD extender code and pick a name for your screen
3. Place the first tile
4. Run the code in the block

5. Place the next tile
6. Run the code again
Repeat these two steps until your screen is long enough.
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you don't run the code after every single tile, your screen will duplicate letters

7. Cover your screen with one layer of armor, or anything else that has a solid surface. That's because of the lighting algorithm of Space Engineers, these lights will perfectly glow through there and result a nice screen. If you know any other way to ensure your screen's functionality, you can skip this step.
8. Paste the LCD controller code into your programmable block. Don't forget to set the screen name and the message.
9. Run the display controller code.
10. Enjoy!

Very nice dude! But the name is a little mis-leading. This is actually a LED Matrix.:)

Currently there is no workaround and the script is kinda outdated right now, so yeah, you'll need to set up the drones individually. Sorry, I went offline about two weeks after the programmable block update and didn't play too much Space Engineers since then, so I cannot promise anything, but that's a cool idea, I'm taking a note...

awesome idea ben....question...let's say you were to use this for advertising and want a single letter on a drone..and then have a string of drone spell out what you wanted. You would need to go through these steps for each drone correct? (I think so)..but is there a way to program the message into all drones at once? I know it's a strange way to se tit up...but 26 drones is my plan.
