The Pimoroni Unicorn pHAT features a colourful matrix of 32 (8 x 4) RGB LEDs - this Raspberry Pi HAT is the perfect companion for your Raspberry Pi.

It is powered directly from the Pi and 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
• Unicorn pHAT pinout
• Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models
• Supports Python library
• Female header requires soldering

SOFTWARE
The 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 especially 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
