I'm new to pi, I wanted to create a candle flicker for a pumpkin so I ordered a Blinkt just incase I couldn't manage to get component parts to work together. Turns out I could. So now I have the challenge of what do do with the Blinkt. Well that's easy, I'll create a spookily blue lit pumpkin that rather than flickers crashes like lightening. This is a thing I'd never have considered without a Blinkt. It makes experimenting so easy for a noob. It's well assembled and comes with a raft of python example, examples are what noobs really need so they can pick them apart and tweak them.

Light bar is very nice works like I expected it too . It had lots of different light patterns and colors . I bought it for my raspberry pi zero W and I turned it into a retro pie . It's fun playing games with the lights on and flashing .

Being used as a status/heath indicator/activity monitor on headless Pis running web services. Information displayed by small Python programme. Only drawback is that you can't detect if a Blinkt! is physically plugged in ... but check out the 10k resistor between +3.3V and GPIO4 in the pimoroni website (gadgetoid)

Excellent. Thé only minus point is around the connection on pi zéro. You need to solder the blinkt.

Great as an intro to using the PI for the first time. I hooked mine up to an IMU cos why not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLd0mijyW5c
