Stop scrolling! And take a moment to appreciate the simplicity and elegance of a bright white LED, so often overlooked next to its flashy RGB cousins. Pico Scroll Pack incorporates 119 white LEDs in a tidy 7x17 matrix, along with four tactile buttons for interacting with your Pico-based contraption. OK, you can start scrolling again.
The brightness of each LED is individually controllable, and it's very nice for displaying graphs, scrolling messages, soothing snowfall animations or for visualising cellular automata. Shiny.

The most straightforward way of getting started programming our Pico add-ons is by downloading and copying our
custom MicroPython image to your Pico, it includes all the libraries you'll need!

About Raspberry Pi Pico
Raspberry Pi Pico is a flexible, low cost
microcontroller development board from the folks at Raspberry Pi, based on their very own chip - the RP2040. It's easily programmable over USB with C/C++ or MicroPython, and ideal for using in all sorts of physical computing projects, devices and inventions - we're so excited to see what you make with it!
We've called our Pico-sized add-ons
packs, as they're designed to attach to the back of your Pico as if it were wearing a very stylish backpack (or a miniature jet pack, if you prefer). We've also got Pico
bases (larger add-on boards with a space to mount your Pico on top) and some other boards that let you do interesting hackerly things like using multiple packs at once -

Your Pico will need to have male headers soldered to it (with the pins pointing downwards) to attach to our add-on boards.
