“This thing is ace. Its beautifully made, like really lovely. I've had a lot of stuff from Pimoroni and its always been super high quality, but this takes it up another notch. Easy to program in python, comes with demos out of the box. Can't recommend this enough if you want a led sign and want to tinker. Well worth the money.”
“Simply stunning!! The board itself is a lovely well made piece of kit. Nice solid feel, and the Unicorn graphics across the rear of the panel, along with the Pimoroni branding just give you a high quality look and feel. As for the LEDs themselves, they are really high quality. Colours are strong and vibrant, and the peak brightness is almost too bright lol! But, overall a fantastic bit of kit, very easy to hook up and start coding and scripting with. Highly recommended, for any projects, and a must have if you fancy buying yourself a Picade Max for the Marquee!!”
“I love this display. It is well built and nicely integrated with the Pico W. The software libraries are good though need better documentation. If the board broke out SWD and UART I would give it 5*s.
I show some example code using the board in this video on YouTube: https://studio.youtube.com/video/F9HNypiFc8w/edit”
“This display is so incredibly gorgeous in person, and having the pico w built in and loaded with examples makes it really easy to get going. It’s a really well done and unique product!”
“The LEDs look great, very bright and vibrant colours. The photos don't really do it justice. With the included code samples, and a bit of messing around I was able to get the weather/clock programme running. I had ambitions of doing something else, but the clock was exactly what I needed anyway. Once combined with a 3D printed case (which was easy to find the plans for), i was able to assemble it and put it on a sheft as a great background during video calls, and a nice conversation starter.
My only sightly negative is that the world has moved to USB C, but this still has micro USB.”
“Used this to make a clock for our classroom. The clock updates its time connecting to an NTP server. It will periodically (every week) update its time so it is never far off from the actual time.”
