A while ago, a Kickstarter project caught my eye, SnowPi RGB<\/a>, an add-on board for the Raspberry Pi and Micro:Bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Snowman board is kitted out with 12 neopixels for colour changing goodness, and thought it would be a good project to try with my daughter now she is getting into programming the micro:bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to back the project which easily hit its target and was delivered last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a family project, I had to wait until half term to try it out. The micro:bit adapter bolted on, allowing the snowman add on board to stand up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the getting started guide on https:\/\/snowpi.xyz we configured the snowman as a neopixel strip and could then be used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been using rainbow colours, and different colours on button presses. It’s a lot of fun and so easy to use, even for a 6yr old. In fact here she is giving her own tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
