“The Pimoroni RGB Keypad Base is an excellent piece of hardware. It’s perfect for interactive projects and games. I’ve used it to create a Simon Says memory game and teach my kids to code. The keypad's responsive buttons and vivid RGB LEDs made it incredibly fun to program and play. The ability to assign unique colors to each button enhances gameplay while also providing visual clarity.
Another fantastic use I’ve discovered is using the RGB Keypad as a Hue light controller. By mapping buttons to specific lights or scenes, I can control my smart home lighting setup with just a press. It’s intuitive, visually appealing, and adds a physical dimension to interacting with my Hue system.
Overall, the Pimoroni RGB Keypad Base is an ideal accessory for the Raspberry Pi Pico. Whether you're building games, creating light shows, or designing smart home controls, this keypad offers versatility and creativity in a compact and well-designed package.”
“This is an awesome accessory and looks great in practice! The buttons have a great feel and responsiveness to them and look great when lit up. I'm using this as a sound mixer for D&D and can't wait for my next session!”
“It's very cute. I like it. I'm using it to build a handy cyberdeck and I think I'll be buying a second soon.
There are example libraries available and step-by-step instructions that were very helpful to a novice like me. I would have liked an example connecting something to the Pico using the I2C bus because the keyboard uses it too. But chatGPT helped me out and wrote the code I needed :)”
“Wonderful piece. Makes what it should do.
My target is to send complex Midi-commands to my equipment.
Using a pico, an encoder, an oled-display and the keypad all is possible.
Great thing”
