PIMORI Scroll HAT Mini Board for Raspberry Pi

The PIMORONI Scroll HAT Mini is a compact, pocket-sized LED matrix board designed to bring dynamic visuals and information to your Raspberry Pi projects. Featuring a 17x7 grid of 119 brilliant white LEDs, each is individually addressable, allowing for the creation of smooth animations, scrolling text, and custom graphics with precise control.

At the heart of the board is the efficient IS31FL3731 LED matrix driver chip, communicating via I2C (address 0x74) and providing individual PWM brightness control for every single LED. This ensures you can achieve subtle effects, smooth fades, and perfect brightness levels for any environment. Four tactile buttons are integrated on the board, offering a simple and direct way to add user input and interactivity to your applications without requiring additional components.

Designed for ultimate convenience, the Scroll HAT Mini comes with its 40-pin GPIO header pre-attached, eliminating the need for any soldering. Simply slot it directly onto your Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins for an instant, secure connection. It is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models featuring a 40-pin header, including the Raspberry Pi 3, 4, 5, and Zero 2 W. A dedicated and well-documented Python software library is available from PIMORONI, making it quick and easy to start programming stunning light displays and interactive projects.

Its compact Mini HAT format (approximately 65mm x 30mm) makes it an ideal accessory for portable builds, wearables, or compact desktop displays where space is at a premium. The combination of powerful hardware and accessible software makes this board a perfect choice for hobbyists, educators, and developers looking to add a compelling visual interface to their creations.
