Silicone Tube (1m) (Grow)

Flexible but sturdy 8mm tube, ideal for hooking up to small pumps and auto-watering systems (such our Grow plant monitoring system!)

We tried out several different kinds of tube when prototyping Grow and this was our favourite, the 5mm internal diameter fits onto the output of our pumps nicely and because it's made of silicone it's bendy enough to flex round corners easily and is easy to build into enclosures.

It comes in 1m lengths - we've found that a metre is sufficient to hook up most 3 pump systems, unless your pots are particularly far apart!

ARRR GEEE BEEEE! I'm driving it with a microcontroller + circuitpython by adapting an Adafruit LCD library for the ST7565 (almost the same as the ST7567 in the GFX hat) and porting the Pimoroni SN3218 library to circuitpython. Works great! I don't need capacitive touch so not bothering with that.

Prompt delivery. Worked out of the box with their examples. Great price at discounted price of £9. Perhaps some more detailed documentation would be useful.

An incredibly priced device, great screen, the buttons work very well and the LEDs for each buttons are very appreciated. The RGB backlight with individually control zones is a great touch. I am currently using it with a pi to received and display SMS messages.

Lovely upgrade to my display-o-tron, and inky phat... and though it’s not as higher resolution as the inky Phat, the ability to refresh the data quicker makes it much more useful

Just bought my second one of these, great for small embedded projects. Pimoroni is becoming a favourite here too, I've bought quite a few things now and the goodies have always arrived quickly.
