“Mounting Blinkt! on each Pi in a Cluster
Did this in combination with an 90 degree angle 40 Pins GPIO so none of the Blinkt! LEDs were blocked by another stacked Pi.
Easy to use and good quality.”
“This is a dirt simple way to add some RGB goodness to your Pi projects. I used to hide Pi's behind things, now I get creative and put them in things to use the RGB for notifications. The Blinkt! python library is great; however, also compatible with generic APA102 python libs. [Just be mindful of the default output pins used.]”
“I love these things! They're a lot brighter than you would imagine given their size and so I use them, connected to Pi Zeros, all over my house as a connected smart-lighting system. They're just accent lights and they look great in the evenings and at night. I've had them running reliably since about March (about 4 months now). I've even modified your "pulse.py" example script so that it gets the "z" value which feeds the make_gaussian function from the current timestamp, so that they all pulse nicely in time with each other, and it also picks the hue based on the same timestamp (like your rainbow.py script does) so their colours change in sync with each other too. (Happy to share if you'd like)
I would recommend these things to anyone looking for a fun way to learn Python, as the example scripts in the provided library are excellent and good fun to experiment with. They can be put to any number of different uses, and I guarantee they'll put a smile on your face, especially if you're into RGB LEDs as much as I am!”
