Ruby support for UnicornHAT?

Hi all. I'm a Ruby developer that's looking to play with the UnicornHAT.

I know that Python is the primary language for the UnicornHAT, but I'd really much rather use it with Ruby, to (in theory) avoid lots of yak shaving and and needing to learn another language. So far as I'm aware there's no reason why it shouldn't be possible to control it using Ruby, it just needs a library/package/gem writing for it.

Talking of which, I did do a search for this, and found a couple of links:

• https://github.com/wejn/ws2812
• https://github.com/pimoroni/unicorn-hat/tree/master/c/unicornd

But I've toyed around with them, and I can't make them work.

Has anyone else had any joy controlling the UnicornHAT with Ruby, and if so, how did you manage it? Thanks.
