Hi! Lovely idea, great size, but I did not realise I have to solder the GPIO header on my Raspberry Pi to get it to work (I don't know how to solder yet so I have not tried it). I did not realise the flashing the pigments have to do when they activate between updates (I saw it in a youtube video) and I think it limits what kind of projects you can do. I don't want to be a party pooper but I would have wanted to know these things, maybe it will help someone else.

Ahoy! Thanks for the review - I've updated the description slightly to hopefully make it clearer that your Pi needs to have a 40 pin header attached to be able to use a HAT. We'll also look at adding some videos showing what a Inky refresh cycle looks like - thanks for the suggestion! We've got a beginner's guide to soldering headers to a Zero here if that's useful :) https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/the-ultimate-guide-to-soldering

It's a wonderful display. Very vivid colours, very easy to use. Top stuff!
