The Display-O-Tron three-line display screen

The Display-O-Tron Hat is a lot of fun, and its minimalist interface makes for lots of inspiration. The hardware and software work well together. The product makes it clear that the people at Pimoroni are interested in selling hardware and dedicated to supporting it. The large hardware manufacturers could take a page from the Pimoroni playbook.
