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) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The ![GlowBit](https://core-electronics.com.au//media/wysiwyg/cms/GlowBit-QHD-P.png) **Pico Orb Kit - Snowflake** adds a Maker touch to the Christmas festive season. We have flashed the included Pico with example code to show off the patterns on the snowflake diffusion plates, **just power up the Pico** - programming optional (but very much encouraged!) Hang it up on your Christmas Tree and animate it in your own custom patterns and colours! The Snowflake kit pairs well with traditional ornaments and decorations - it blends in well with other decorations when the LEDs are off. With 2 different snowflake designs included, you'll be able to show off your Maker skills and impress family and friends. Each ornamental diffusion plate design has pre-loaded code to make the patterns really pop - Or customise it yourself! 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. *Does not include [screwdriver](https://core-electronics.com.au/24-in-1-precision-screwdriver-kit.html) or power supply, for wall power, we recommend [a Raspberry Pi micro-USB Power supply](https://core-electronics.com.au/official-raspberry-pi-12-5w-micro-usb-power-supply.html), but any USB-A phone charger you have lying around will work. Or use [a battery bank](https://core-electronics.com.au/power-batteries/usb-battery-packs.html) to make it portable and rechargable.* ### Features - An all-in-one kit to decorate your Christmas Tree - Assemble and show off the flashy lights! - No soldering or programming required - 2 festive ornamental diffusion plates made from laser-etched acrylic, with a snowflake design - Pre-flashed Raspberry Pi Pico mounts directly to the back of the PCB - Featuring a PiicoDev connector breakout, along with all of the pins on an extra row of headers for extra customisation - The breakout header connector on the bottom allows for more GlowBit modules to be daisy-chained (like more Orbs!) - Designed and supported in Australia by Core Electronics ### Kit includes - 1x [GlowBit Pico Orb](https://core-electronics.com.au/glowbit-pico-orb-base.html) - 1x [Pico Orb Acrylic Pack - Snowflakes](https://core-electronics.com.au/glowbit-pico-orb-acrylic-kit-snowflakes.html) - 1x [GlowBit Mounting Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/glowbit-matrix-mounting-kit.html) - 1x[ Pico 2H](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-pico-2-h-with-headers.html) with Pre-flashed [Demo Code and Library](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-GlowBit-Orb-MicroPython-Module) - 1x [Micro-USB to USB-A Cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-cable-type-a-to-micro-b-1m.html) - 1x Silicone Wire to hang the ornament ### Resources - [MicroPython Library](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-GlowBit-Orb-MicroPython-Module) - [Quickstart Guide and instructions](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/glowbit-orb-and-bauble-kit-pico-getting-started-guide/) - How to assemble the kit, then learn how to remix the colours, patterns and make your Orb, truly yours!

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.
