I got the “solder yourself” kit and it was a blast to put together. It’s currently on display in my office at work (you have to let people know what kind of nerd they’re dealing with). :-) The software example is a little scant, but Googling around will allow you to find some interesting possibilities.

Excellent description for the soldering job. It was my first try with Python. I checked all applicaitions for Phyton - the last one, was the right one - so I needed a little bit longer to start. Have had a lot fun to change the sample program and re-designed the program completely new.

Looks nice but can be difficult to remove from frame, top light only visible from one direction, poor documentation.

Very fun and interesting especially for small children. I bought it in pre-soldered and my daughter finds sad that all LEDs are red. I'm thinking to buy another not soldered and so she can choose the color of each LED.

Ordered both a pre soldered and a kit. Arrived promptly and after soldering a header on to a pi zero they were up and running using the example code to test them. Now I just need to get a better understanding of Python to make some different patterns. So why only four stars? Well I dropped a star for two reasons 1- as all the GPIO pins are used you don't seem to be able to add a button to control light patterns. 2- One of the LED's doesn't light using the example code Other than that a great fun kit for less than £20.00 :-)

I would have given this project 5 stars, except for the following: 1) There were no instructions in the packaging 2) There should have been a small bottle of gold paint to touch-up the areas that had to be severed in order to assemble the tree 3) The tree would look so much nicer if it used multi-color LEDs instead of just red
