Mini Submersible Water Pump (Grow)

These small centrifugal pumps are perfect for incorporating into automatic plant watering systems like Grow. They could also come in handy for science experiments or for making tiny, smart water features!

The Picoblade-compatible connector means you can plug them easily into the bottom row of connectors on Grow HAT Mini. We also sell tubing that fits the outlet of these pumps nicely. 

If you're using them to water your plants you'll want to avoid soil getting sucked up into their workings, as this can jam the rotor. To get maximum longevity out of the motor, you should also avoid running the pump 'dry' for extended periods.

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.
