- **Price:** $14.75 (inc GST) — $13.41 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $13.01 (exc GST) · 50+ $12.74 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 21 and Aug 25.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA3356:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA3356:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The **Snake Eyes Bonnet** is a **Raspberry Pi accessory** for driving **two 128x128 pixel OLED** or **TFT LCD** displays, and also provides four **analog inputs** for sensors. It's perfect for making cosplay masks, props, spooky sculptures for halloween, animatronics, robots...anything where you want to add a pair of animated eyes!

This product is just the Pi Bonnet itself, and some headers so you can plug it into a Pi. While it will work with any Raspberry Pi with a 2x20 Header (Pi B+, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi Zero, etc) you'll get best performance from a Pi 3 since we do some heavy duty OpenGL rendering!

This product **doesn't include two displays or connector cables!** You'll want 1 or 2 of *either* the [Adafruit 1.44" TFT Breakout](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-1-44-color-tft-lcd-display-with-microsd-card-breakout-st7735r.html) *or* the [Adafruit 1.5" OLED Breakout](https://core-electronics.com.au/oled-breakout-board-16-bit-color-1-5-w-microsd-holder.html). The OLED looks better with higher contrast and viewing angle, but is more expensive. [You'll also want a bunch of 12" F-F jumper cables to connect your displays](https://core-electronics.com.au/premium-female-female-jumper-wires-40-x-12-300mm.html). Soldering is required to attach headers onto the Bonnet and displays, so make sure you have a soldering iron, solder and some basic hand tools.

[For all the details on how to use this Bonnet, check out the tutorial which has code, diagrams and some creative ideas for usage!](https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-snake-eyes-bonnet-for-raspberry-pi/)

It’s a follow-on of sorts to another project: *[Electronic Animated Eyes Using Teensy 3.2](https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-electronic-eyes-using-teensy-3-1)*. The [Teensy 3.2](https://core-electronics.com.au/teensy-3-2-header.html) is a *very* capable microcontroller, and the code for that project squeezed every bit of space and performance from it. We had been experimenting with the Raspberry Pi as an alternative…while it’s still very experimental, why not make that work available to others?

The Raspberry Pi offers some potential **benefits:**

- Hardware-accelerated **3D graphics** (OpenGL), including **antialiasing**.
- A **faster CPU**, ample **RAM** and dual SPI buses could yield faster frame rates.
- Standard graphics formats like **JPEG**, **PNG** and **SVG** can be decoded on the fly; **no preprocessing step**.
- The eye rendering code is written in a **high-level language** — Python — making it easier to customize.

If you want a smaller, if less powerful version, check out the original *[Teensy Eyes](https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-electronic-eyes-using-teensy-3-1)*! They are more “Arduino-like” to build and customize, or other guides like [*Animating Multiple LED Backpacks*](https://learn.adafruit.com/animating-multiple-led-backpacks) provide a more approachable introduction to code and electronics with less of an investment.

**Raspberry Pi, displays, and jumper wire not included!**
