“This Blinkt device was great fun! I got it as part of the Pimoroni Raspberry Pi Zero W starter
kit - the one with the Pibow case. It meant I could straight away produce something exciting with my Pi Zero, especially as the Python library supplied was so full of examples. Some of the examples were beyond me but others were really easy to adapt. It made my early programming attempts successful and exciting. The price is excellent, the LEDs bright, and the whole thing very easy to use. I'm now very tempted to get the LED shim - 28 rgb LEDS would be even better!”
“A cheap, but quality product, which I used for colour-coded notifications on my Zero and 3B. I would have preferred diffused LED lenses, but I'm guessing that would sacrifice brightness. At low brightness levels, the red green and blue LED elements are clearly visible while working near to the Pi. Nevertheless, that's a minor quibble, as I'm delighted with the product.
A possible tip for David M. above, and perhaps others: I experienced the same colour balance issues if "set_brightness" was anything other than 1, so ensure that you have "blinkt.set_brightness(1)" somewhere.”
“Brilliant piece of kit. First time I've ever plugged anything into my RPi and I was a little nervous, but this fitted really well and felt secure. Was able to get up and running in no time thanks to the Pimoroni libraries.”
“Great little addition to the pi, used as a status display in my application can be dimmed to be very untrusive at night, or really eye-catching during the day. Could be used for a wide range of projects, the LEDs are all nicely balanced too with similar colour consistency.”
