PIM168

  Unicorn pHAT PIM168     What's going to protect your beloved Raspberry Pi from an onslaught of rainbow-coloured fusion? That's right, it's Unicorn pHAT. Sporting a matrix of 32 (8 x 4) RGB LEDs and powered directly from the Pi, this is the most compact pocket aurora available. Unicorn pHAT provides a wash of controllable colour that is ideal for mood-lighting, pixel art, persistence of vision effects, status indications, or just blasting colour into your surroundings. Features        32 RGB LEDs (SK6218 ‐ 3.5mm x 3.5mm)  LED data driven via DMA over PWM  Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W  Python library  Female header requires soldering  Software Unicorn pHAT uses the same Python library as Unicorn HAT, so it's super-easy to use, should automatically detect that you're using the pHAT and includes some examples written specially for Unicorn pHAT. Notes     Warning: SK6218 LEDs are bright enough to cause eye pain, do not look at them directly when  brightly lit. We recommend using Unicorn pHAT at lower brightness levels.  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 pHAT works best with a >2A microUSB power supply for your Pi. We  recommend the official Raspberry Pi power supply.  Compatibility (audio): as Unicorn pHAT 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‐phat 4/19/2017
