Getting Started with Blinkt!
Learn how to install and get started with your Blinkt!
Beginner / LEDsNeed to send your Raspberry Pi USB signals over a long distance? You need one of these USB over Ethernet Booster sets! This USB booster allows you to connect a USB device to your Pi at a distance of up to 45 meters via the use of a Cat5e (or greater) RJ45 Ethernet Patch cable.
The kit consists of two USB to RJ45 extension adapters, one male one female, and it's bus powered, so requires no external power! Works best on longer distances.
USB Over Ethernet Booster Features:
Description:
If your project is particularly resource-hungry then the Raspberry Pi may run a little hot. Cool it down with this nifty little heatsink!
Simply remove the backing from the pre-applied thermal tape and stick it on top of the main processor chip.
Specifications:
Model | F695ZZ |
Material | Chrome Steel |
Size | 5 x 13 x 4mm |
Quantity | 1pcs |
This micro SD card to micro SD card extension cable is perfect for protecting your Raspberry Pi's micro SD card port! The flat flex cable is 45cm long, so it's perfect for mounting your SD card separately for easy access, or mounting your Raspberry Pi safely within an enclosure!
Micro SD to SD Extension Cable Features:
Description:
58mm long by 44mm wide - adds a splash of colour to laptops, camera cases, fridge doors or anywhere else you can think to put it.
Not only are you helping the Foundations educational aims by buying these, you're also brightening up the world for everyone else :-)
Features:
Deminsions - 58 x 44 mm
What's in the box?:
6 x Raspberry Pi Sticker
Eight super-bright RGB LED indicators that are ideal for adding visual notifications to your Raspberry Pi without breaking the bank!
Inspired by Alex Ellis' work with his Raspberry Pi Zero Docker Cluster, we developed these boards for him to use as status indicators. Blinkt! offers eight APA102 pixels in the smallest (and cheapest) form factor to plug straight onto your Raspberry Pi.
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 respectively but for simplicity you can just use our Python library to drive them.

Software
Our 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 and flickering candles to Larson scanners!
Notes
We featured Blinkt! on a special episode of Bilge Tank where we tried to come up with as many different code examples as possible in one morning. Check it out below.
