A robot friend to sit on your desk and scroll the news, weather, or your Twitter feed - Scroll Bot! Updated version! The kit (temporarily) includes a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH The Scroll Bot Kit* combines the Pi Zero W with our new swish Scroll pHAT HD board, and masquerades as a friendly orange robot, perfect for sitting on your desk or on a shelf. It's ideal for scrolling messages or for simple animations and, of course, it takes advantage of the built-in wireless LAN on the Pi Zero W. It'll take around 30 minutes to assemble everything** (check out our assembly guide for details). Kit contents* * Pi Zero W * Scroll pHAT HD with 17x7 individually dimmable white LEDs * Male and female 2x20 pin headers * 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 **Note that this is a soldering project, although you could use one of no-solder hammer headers! Scroll Bot uses our new Scroll pHAT HD 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/it inform you of the latest news, weather, track hashtags or mentions on Twitter, or much, much more. Features * 17x7 matrix of bright white pixels (119 total) * Individual PWM brightness control of each pixel * Uses the IS31FL3731 LED matrix driver chip * 3-layer orange robot stand and diffuser * Pi Zero W with single core CPU and built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth * Adaptor kit * 50cm USB A to micro-B cable (power your Pi from an existing charger or computer) * Python library * Female and male headers require soldering Software Our handy one-line installer will install the Scroll pHAT HD Python library for you. We've included a bunch of examples too, to show off what you can do with Scroll pHAT HD. Note: that the default orientation for Scroll pHAT HD 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). https://elecena.pl/product/22715295/scroll-bot-pi-zero-w-project-kit-discontinued 2023-03-07 https://elecena.pl/product/22715295/scroll-bot-pi-zero-w-project-kit-discontinued 2024-09-19
