Hi Guys
Being gifted a UnicornHat for my birthday I am eager to get it running. I fitted it to a Pi2 and fed it with a 2A PSU. I installed the libraries using the curl script and, with bated breath, I ran simple.py - instead of the expected cheery magenta glow I was treated to a blinding riot of psychedelic colour. I modified simple.py to be even more simple:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import unicornhat as UH
import time
UH.brightness(0.001) # I don't have welding goggles
for y in range(8):
for x in range(8):
UH.set_pixel(4,4,255,0,255)
UH.show()
time.sleep(0.05)
time.sleep(1)
UH.clear()
and all I get now is a single GREEN LED lighting up the top right LED (assuming 'UNICORN HAT' is printed the right way up).
Is it DOA?
Thanks
Mark
