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.
You must be mistaken. We also used the Holtek HT16K33 I2C LED driver. It's just hiding underneath the displays on ours.
