View ArticleDoes anyone know of a .NET library for the Scroll pHat?
None exist that I'm aware of, and I'd be surprised if a library did! There are, however, plenty of I2C examples which would help get you started. I was able to successfully drive a PiGlow from Windows...

Unicorn HAT + GPIO cable
RogueM: ground from pin 9 I tried pins 4+6+18, it took aeons to figure out why it wouldn't work.Why MUST it be pin 9?I know it hardly matters, but ground is ground, why the specific pin?
View ArticleUnicorn HAT + GPIO cable
Because the PCB assumes a Raspberry Pi as host, and traces are routed as most practical for the board. I agree it makes things harder for less common applications but that's the reality.

I've now implemented a small delay into the firmware that mitigates this. It doesn't fix it altogether since it's impossible to guarantee a pad is clear of fingers in any given time frame, but it helps.
