“Raspi Xmas Tree builded at first snow.
I've enjoyed quick building this tree at home with RPi Zero. I like the SMD leds look in presoldered kit.
My one day build can be watched here: https://youtu.be/u_Y3ckHN1HA
Merry Christmas”
“This is a great kit to build, managed to solder the tree easily following the instructions, however I did solder bomb over 2 terminals on the piZero at the same time, which took a bit of troubleshooting, would be helpful if the numbers next to the LEDs were actually relevant to something on the pi … are they?
Only tried the simple python code in the software section so far, but works well, any other software examples that other users would like to share?”
“Great little kit, unfortunately one of the LEDs was a dud but soon fixed that with some spares I had. Super easy to get up and running, got mine on the desk as a blinking advent calendar with a pi zero”
“Great idea and really nice quality board. I struggled to find some example so I created a git repository. Please use and contribute if you can. https://github.com/ppumkin/thepihut3dxmastree-examples”
“The website is not clear on how to launch this, here is what you do.
sudo apt-get install python-gpiozero python3-gpiozero
Once you have done that, click on the Raspberry icon > Programming > Thonny.
Once Thonny is open paste the following code into it and then click on Run
Works awesome after that :-)”
