“Awesome product to have a pre-soldered header. Using mine as a daily ticker with a Maker PHat
and MX7219 to display weather, tube and bus information before I leave for work. It starts a countdown as well between certain times to show the next bus.”
“Distinctly different approach compared to the Arduino, which I'd used previously. Easy to set up with the pre-installed NOOBS micro SD card available as an add-on and recommended. Plenty of tutorials, software and hardware available. I set it up using a standard mouse, keyboard and monitor with a USB hub and micro USB to USB adapter, and then set up VNC. After that VNC via a Wi-Fi connection gives you a useable remote desktop on a regular PC.”
