The Scroll Bot Kit combines the Pi Zero W with the Scroll pHAT HD board, and masquerades as a friendly orange robot, perfect for sitting on your desk or on a shelf. It's ideal for scrolling messages or for simple animations and, of course, it takes advantage of the built-in wireless LAN on the Raspberry Pi Zero W. It'll take around 30 minutes to assemble everything, check out our assembly guide for details - https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/assembling-scroll-bot.

Scroll Bot uses our new Scroll pHAT HD board, a dense matrix of 17x7 (119 total) bright white LEDs. Each pixel's brightness can be controlled individually, meaning that it's possible to create stunning animations or even anti-aliased text. The LED matrix sits behind Scroll Bot's mouth, and the frosted orange acrylic diffuses the LEDs beautifully.

Use the built-in wireless LAN to make your Scroll Bot internet-connected and have him/her/it inform you of the latest news, weather, track hashtags or mentions on Twitter, or much, much more.

Software

Our handy one-line installer will install the Scroll pHAT HD Python library for you - https://github.com/pimoroni/scroll-phat-hd. We've included a bunch of examples too, to show off what you can do with Scroll pHAT HD.
