PIM054

  Unicorn HAT PIM054 What's going to protect your beloved Raspberry Pi from an onslaught of rainbow-coloured fusion? That's right, it's Unicorn HAT. Sporting a matrix of 64 (8 x 8) RGB LEDs and powered directly from the Pi, this is the most compact pocket aurora available. Unicorn HAT provides a wash of controllable colour that is ideal for mood-lighting, 8x8 pixel art, persistence of vision effects, status indications, or just blasting colour into your surroundings. The MagPi said that Unicorn HAT was "one of the coolest HATs around" Features      64 RGB LEDs (WS2812B)  LED data driven via DMA over PWM  Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W  Python library  Comes fully assembled  Software We've put together a Unicorn HAT Python library to make it a breeze to use, including lots of beautiful examples of what it can do. Notes     Warning: WS2812 LEDs are bright enough to cause eye pain, do not look at them directly when  brightly lit. We recommend the use of a diffuser.  Photo‐sensitivity warning: flashing, strobing, and patterns of lights may cause epileptic seizures.  Always take care and immediately stop using if you feel unwell (dizziness, nausea, affected  vision, eye twitching, disorientation).  Power: Unicorn HAT requires a >2A microUSB power supply for your Pi. We recommend the  official Raspberry Pi power supply.  Compatibility (audio): as Unicorn HAT uses PWM and GPIO18, it will interfere with analogue  audio playback (random colour patterns and flickering). HDMI should work just fine! :D                                                                      https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/unicorn‐hat 4/19/2017
