Pimoroni Blinkt! for Raspberry Pi

Snap the Pimoroni Blinkt! onto a Raspberry Pi Zero or any Raspberry Pi with a 2x20 connector. You'll get a cool 1x8 RGB LED matrix powered directly by the Pi. The Blinkt! offers a wash of controllable color, perfect for mood - lighting, 1x8 pixel art, persistence of vision effects, status indications, or just adding a splash of color around you. Each pixel can be individually controlled and dimmed, enabling you to create gradients, pulsing effects, or just make them flash wildly. Features include eight APA102 RGB LEDs, individually controllable pixels, high brightness, a small footprint that sits directly on your Pi, it fits inside most Pi cases, and it comes fully assembled. Code and examples are available on GitHub: https://github.com/pimoroni/blinkt

Using the Pimoroni Blinkt! is easy. First, snap it on top of your Raspberry Pi Zero or any Raspberry Pi with a 2x20 connector. Once it's in place, it gets power directly from the Pi. You can start customizing the lights right away. To control the pixels, you can use the code and examples available on GitHub. Each pixel can be controlled separately, so you can create different patterns like gradients or make them pulse. When using it, make sure your Raspberry Pi is in good working condition. Avoid touching the LEDs when the device is powered on to prevent any damage. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. And if you're not using it for a long time, store it in a safe place.
