OK, I bought 2 PHAT DAC's. I soldered the headers on and plugged one onto my PI3 with the Official Foundation display attached. I burned a Raspian 5.27.16 image onto my 32GB card and put it in the pi....

omxlayer does not support ALSA, so you won't be able to route audio to the pHAT DAC (or any other source but the integrated card for that matter). there are plenty of alternatives that will work for...

Unfortunately it was a fresh Pi so I only had the demos that came with the library. I left rainbows.py running for a good while at what I guess was a brightness of 1.0 - tho it's not specified in the...

I believe the default is half the max these puppies can blast, a hard limit set in the library for a few months now. That's not to say you shouldn't tone down the show, but rainbow.py has brightness...

I think I pulled it down fairly recently - I'll check this evening.

that sounds very much like a temporary glitch with the PyPi repo. ... you should be able to use python 2 in the interim, though I suspect none of the examples were copied, so I'd try again in an hour...

Hi @RogueM, thanks for the reply. I'll try again later on. i copied down the repo's and the 3 examples do work so it seems so far it's all working. I also did the same for the blinkt install, though...

PyPi seems to be having a bad day, I keep getting server errors when I push new packages, and the website takes an age to load.

On closer inspection of my version (2.1.0) of the UnicornHAT library, it definitely has the 50% brightness limitation in "brightness" but "rainbow.py" has no explicit brightness setting. I assume...

I know @gadgetoid has also inserted a warning if brightness is set too low, not sure what level. If you think some of the examples don't work properly then try them with a slightly higher value and...

The examples work fine with them all being set to 0.4, it's just the code warns you when you set brightness to anything less than ~0.23, but the comment for the function recommends a value of 0.2. I...
