Works perfectly as advertised, good documentation and a nice set of example programs. I can take it from there. I have been thinking of but not actually buying it for literally years - the recent sale made me a buyer. Just the thing to amuse the piano-playing members of my family.

Recently purchased one of these piano hat boards for my raspberry pi, as usual the service from Pimoroni was excellent and the board is of a really good quality. It's nicely laid out and the touch pads are a decent size. The board looks very classy with the black background and gold lettering and the software to go with it makes using the board very easy. Although it's laid out as a piano it could be used for anything which requires 16 capacitive touch pads and leds.
