“Perfect for what I needed (fitting into an Airfix model): the board itself is the size of a (UK) Christmas postage stamp, and the LEDs, PIR and speaker all plug in very easily. Comprehensive code examples included give you a massive leg-up even if you're an experienced coder as the examples pull in all the libraries and function calls that you're likely to need, so it's cut-and-paste coding. I even connected it to our Wi-Fi (very straightforward), although that's not part of this project (unless I can think of an excuse!). Will use Tiny FX again in future models.”
“This is honestly a game changer! No more non-programmable effects boards from other companies when you have this bad boy. I'm a total noob to coding, and with a bit of playing around i managed to get it to do EXACTLY what I wanted to! Have yet to figure out the wireless feature, but in typical AFOL fashion this was for a MOC which was being displayed at an event that was only 1 month away!
Also with Pimoroni being in the UK, no more waiting weeks for an order to arrive from abroad ;)”
“Used it to light and add sounds to a Lego build. i haven’t used the wifi properly yet, the examples just use an api call to get a single value and then use that to affect the lights. It would be nice to have longer cables or extensions for the JST-SUR connectors without having to use the 6 way expansion strips. Otherwise, love it!”
“A great effects board using the small led strings that are becoming very popular. Easy to get using as long as you have Thonny. The onboard LEDs make sequencing ideas so easy.
I now need to learn to control it using wifi then add it to one of my Lego builds.”
