You are correct, this was our over site. The Digit was inspired by the great board that the Holy Cows used last season (minus the gyro, and locking connectors). The idea of putting 12 segment displays on the MXP port was and is a good one.
Our implementation is different as we use an I2C LED driver chip to drive the displays to keep the pins on the MXP open and available for the pass through.
We will update our website to reflect this credit.
