Snow Pi RGB is the next generation of the Snow Pi Add-on I released in 2015 and is now better than before with RGB and it will come fully pre-assembled.
This add-on works on all Raspberry Pi Models, even the original Model B. This is because it uses only the first 6 Pins of the header. Using the Right Angle header it stands up from the Pi as shown above.
Alongside we've also created a micro:bit adaptor which uses 3 screws to connect between the micro:bit and adaptor as a friction fit. You then plug your snowman into this and voila you're up and running!
Want to use it with an Arduino, ESP8266, Adafruit Clue or other boards? You can do so easily! Either use the pins marked on the header or the Breakout pins on the back. It even works with some desktop computers RGB headers!

We'll have full tutorials including the wiring for Arduino Uno, Micro:Bit, and possibly more! These will go live on our site https://snowpi.xyz over the next few months.
The PCB uses 12 RGB LEDs called WS2812, or more commonly known as "Neopixels". This means that each LED can be it's own colour.
At the same time we're also offering a Micro:bit adaptor board, every SnowPi RGB will come with one as standard, this simple little board screws onto the micro:bit pins through the 3V, GND + Pin 2 holes through to the adaptor board. The adaptor board simply has 6 Pins in the same format as the Pi's GPIO header and works great.
