Each pixel on Blinkt! is individually controllable and dimmable allowing you to create gradients, pulsing effects, or just flash them on and off like crazy. The data and clock lines are connected to GPIO #23 and #24 respectivelybut for simplicity you can just use our Python library to drive them. Features Eight APA102 RGB LEDs Individuallycontrollable pixels Sits directly on top of your Pi in a tiny footprint Fits inside most Pi cases Doesn’t interfere with PWM audio Blinkt! pinout Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W Python library Comes fully assembled Software The Blinkt! Python library will have you blasting out rainbows in two shakes of a unicorn’s tail! There’s a stack of examples too, from binary clocks to cheerlights andflickering candles to Larson scanners!
