Adafruit Animated Eyes Bonnet for Raspberry Pi Mini Kit - Without Displays

The  Snake Eyes Bonnet  is a  Raspberry Pi accessory  for driving  two 128x128 pixel OLED  or  TFT LCD  displays, and also provides four  analog inputs  for sensors. It's perfect for making cosplay masks, props, spooky sculptures for halloween, animatronics, robots...anything where you want to add a pair of animated eyes!

This product is just the Pi Bonnet itself, and some headers so you can plug it into a Pi. While it will work with any Raspberry Pi with a 2x20 Header (Pi B+, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi Zero, etc) you'll get best performance from a Pi 3 since we do some heavy duty OpenGL rendering!

This product doesn't include two displays or connector cables! You'll want 1 or 2 of either the Adafruit 1.44" TFT Breakout or the Adafruit 1.5" OLED Breakout . The OLED looks better with higher contrast and viewing angle, but is more expensive. You'll also want a bunch of 12" F-F jumper cables to connect your displays . Soldering is required to attach headers onto the Bonnet and displays, so make sure you have a soldering iron, solder and some basic hand tools.

For all the details on how to use this Bonnet, check out the tutorial which has code, diagrams and some creative ideas for usage!

It’s a follow-on of sorts to another project:  Electronic Animated  Eyes Using Teensy 3.2 .   The Teensy 3.2 is a  very  capable microcontroller, and the code for that project squeezed every bit of space and performance from it. We had been experimenting with the Raspberry Pi as an alternative…while it’s still very experimental, why not make that work available to others?

The Raspberry Pi offers some potential  benefits:

• Hardware-accelerated  3D graphics  (OpenGL), including  antialiasing .
• A  faster CPU , ample  RAM  and dual SPI buses could yi
