Unicorn HAT

Description

What's going to protect your beloved Raspberry Pi from an onslaught of rainbow-colored fusion? T.hat'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 color that is ideal for mood-lighting, 8 × 8 pixel art, persistence of vision effects, status indications, or just blasting color into your surroundings.

The MagPi said that Unicorn HAT was “one of the coolest HATs around "

64 RGB LEDs (WS2812B)
LED data driven via DMA over PWM
Unicorn HAT Pinout
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.

Our software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.
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 color patterns and flickering). HDMI should work just fine! 😀
