Scroll Bot Pi Zero W Project Kit (Pi not included)

A robot friend to sit on your desk and scroll the news, weather, or your Twitter feed! The Scroll Bot kit has what you'll need to build a scrolling LED display that is wifi enabled with a Raspberry Pi Zero W.

• An easy way to set up an LED scrolling display with your Raspberry Pi.
  
• Useful for LED scrolling display projects.
  
• Contents:
  
  • Scroll HAT Mini with 17x7 individually dimmable white LEDs
  • 2x20 header pin
  • Orange robot stand and diffuser
  • 50cm USB A to micro-B cable
  • USB A (female) to micro B (male) adaptor
  • Mini to full-size HDMI adaptor
  • Sticker sheet (personalise your Scroll Bot!)
  • Comes in a reusable kit box
  *Just add your own micro-SD card!
• This kit will turn your Raspberry Pi Zero W and an SD card into a scrolling LED screen setup!

• Scroll Bot uses the Scroll HAT Mini board, a dense matrix of 17x7 (119 total) bright white LEDs. Each pixel's brightness can be controlled individually, meaning that it's possible to create stunning animations or even anti-aliased text. The LED matrix sits behind Scroll Bot's mouth, and the frosted orange acrylic diffuses the LEDs beautifully.

  Use the built-in wireless LAN to make your Scroll Bot internet-connected and have him/her/them inform you of the latest news, weather, track hashtags or mentions on Twitter, or much, much more.

  Software

  Pimorini's handy one-line installer will install the Scroll pHAT HD Python library for you, which will also work with Scroll HAT Mini. We've included a bunch of examples too, to show off what you can do!

  Note: that the default orientation for Scroll HAT Mini is upside-down if you're using it in a Scroll Bot. To flip it, simply add scrollphathd.rotate(180) towards the top of your code, just below the import lines.

  Notes

  Assembled size of Scroll Bot is 125x85x67mm (WxHxD).
