@Jaqster - want to make sure the timing of this post doesn't conflict with the code eval post; i am happy to delay.

I think the Foundation has stopped specifying "V2". You could drop it from the title and just say in the first line, "the latest micro:bit.."
Also, (this is just a suggestion) but personally I would de-emphasize "Arcade" in the name of this extension. It is just a very cool display extension for the micro:bit - doesn't really have to do with Arcade games. I could see a lot of people using this without hardware either.

Will remove V2. Of two minds about the "arcadeshield" vs "displayshield"; the shields are branded as "arcade"; understand for micro:bit users, it doesn't really matter and the simulator is good fun. I will consider - renaming requires a little bit of re-programming.

Looks good. And if you could hold until after we post the Code Eval stuff, that would be great. Thanks Tom!
