In our first full project, we are going to make ourselves a badge that connects back to our Pi Zero. The badge itself will be made from a board, which contains a total of 119 individually addressable LEDs! The board is made by Pimoroni in the UK and is called a Scroll pHAT HD.

We will look into the Python library, which Pimoroni supplies with the Scroll pHAT HD and try out a couple of different things that we can do with it.
We will finish our project off by installing a power-off switch to our Pi Zero, adding it into the official Pi Zero case and powering the whole...
