## Availability & dispatch

- Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10422:1` (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/CE10422:1.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 ![GlowBit](https://core-electronics.com.au//media/wysiwyg/cms/GlowBit-QHD-P.png) **Pico Orb Kit - Clock and Blank** adds a Maker touch to any festive season, since you can customise the blank display or use the clock diffusion panel to tell the time from a distance, or any other idea you can throw at it - animate it in your own custom patterns and colours!

The Clock is perfect for timers and keeping track of the time. The Blank can be customised in many ways, etching the surface with a rotary tool, permanent marker, or printing/cutting craft paper.

These two designs will give life to the Orb year-round. We plan to release diffusion plates for all kinds of festivitie,s so stay tuned!

The [Orb Base Board](https://core-electronics.com.au/glowbit-pico-orb-base.html) features breakouts for all of the IO and a [PiicoDev connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html) to add extra functionality and reactivity.

 ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/glowbit.png) **GlowBit Overview**

Glow your own way! GlowBits are based on newer LED technology that offers makers, educators and students more creative freedom with fewer gotchas. Wider voltage ranges, better data rates, safe failure modes, the list goes on. If you share anything with a GlowBit product, tag it with **\#glowbit** so we can take a look!

Some of the features you will find:

- **Awesome, feature-rich libraries.** The same Python/MicroPython code examples will work on all supported platforms.
- **Tileable designs.** Many GlowBit modules are tileable, meaning they can be soldered together to create a larger display.
- **Modern WS2812B technology** which supports a wide voltage range, is easier to use, and requires fewer external components.
- **Creative freedom.** Take the examples in our guides and run with them - we can't wait to see what you make.
- Compatible with legacy WS2812 / Neopixel libraries.
 
GlowBit modules are [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_images/Core-Electronics-Original.png)](https://core-electronics.com.au/original) products designed and manufactured by our team in Newcastle Australia.
