Add smart light and sound effects to models and dioramas with the Pimoroni Tiny FX W, a compact but powerful RP2040-powered programmable controller board with wireless connectivity.

This effects controller is designed for LED dots and strips compatible with LEGO lighting kits. The Tiny FX W allows for adjustable brightness, dynamic lighting effects simulating movement, on/off triggering based on sensors or internet data, pulsing for ambiance, flickering for fire effects, and synchronized sound effects using the onboard amplifier.

• Powered by RP2040 dual Arm Cortex M0+ processor running up to 133MHz with 264kB SRAM
• 4MB QSPI flash supporting eXecute in Place (XiP)
• Raspberry Pi RM2 module providing 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connectivity
• Supports six channels of two-pin mono LEDs and one channel of four-pin RGB LEDs with indicator LEDs
• Integrated 3.2W I2S mono amplifier with speaker connector
• Includes Qwiic/STEMMA QT and sensor connectors for expansion
• USB-C for power and programming
• Comes fully assembled with reset and boot buttons (boot doubles as user button)
• Compatible with MicroPython firmware and Pimoroni’s PicoFX library for easy programming

The Starter Kit includes all necessary components for your first project: Tiny FX W controller, adhesive-backed mini speaker, multiple LED dots and RGB LEDs, AAA battery holder (batteries not included), USB-A to USB-C cable, PIR motion sensor stick with connecting cable, all in a reusable Pirate-brand Loot Box.

Note: LEDs and other components are sold separately beyond the included kit items. This board is not designed to drive addressable LEDs/NeoPixels; the Plasma 2040 board is recommended for that use.
