{"title":"Scroll Bot - Pi Zero W Project Kit","handle":"scroll-bot-pi-zero-w-project-kit","url":"/products/scroll-bot-pi-zero-w-project-kit","description":"Scroll Bot is a desk-friendly robot kit built around the Raspberry Pi Zero W and the Scroll pHAT HD LED matrix. Once assembled, it scrolls messages, news, weather, or social media feeds through its 17×7 bright white LED \"mouth\" — all powered by the Pi Zero W's built-in Wi-Fi.\n\nThe kit includes everything needed to build the robot (just add a micro-SD card). Assembly takes around 30 minutes and requires soldering the headers, though no-solder hammer headers can be used as an alternative.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nScroll pHAT HD – 17×7 matrix (119 pixels) of individually dimmable white LEDs, driven by the IS31FL3731 chip\n\nRaspberry Pi Zero W – Single-core CPU with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth\n\nOrange Robot Stand – 3-layer acrylic stand with frosted diffuser\n\nInternet Connected – Display news, weather, Twitter mentions, and more via Wi-Fi\n\nPython Library – Full software support with examples\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nLED Matrix – 17×7 (119 pixels), individual PWM brightness control\n\nAssembled Size – 125 × 85 × 67 mm (W × H × D)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nDesk-top information displays and notification scrollers\nLearning Raspberry Pi, Python, and soldering\nSimple LED animations and pixel art\nA fun weekend electronics project\n\n\nKit Contents\n\n1× Raspberry Pi Zero W\n1× Scroll pHAT HD board\n1× Male and female 2×20 pin headers\n1× Orange robot stand and diffuser (acrylic)\n1× 50 cm USB-A to Micro-B cable\n1× USB-A (female) to Micro-B (male) adaptor\n1× Mini HDMI to full-size HDMI adaptor\n1× Sticker sheet\nReusable kit box\n\n\n\nNote: A micro-SD card is required but not included. Headers require soldering unless no-solder hammer headers are used. The default Scroll pHAT HD orientation is upside-down in Scroll Bot — add scrollphathd.rotate(180) near the top of your code to correct this.\n\n\nResources\n\nAssembly Guide\nScroll pHAT HD Python Library (GitHub)\nCode Examples (GitHub)\n","vendor":"Little Bird","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":6448,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PR-PIM260","price":82.86,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
