Simulates an Unicorn HAT HD (and should work for the 8x8 HAT and the 8x4 PHAT as well) using pygame.
If you want your code to run on your computer as well as your Pi, you could do something like this:
pip install pygame(orpip2orpip3depending on your setup)wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jayniz/unicorn-hat-sim/master/unicorn_hat_sim.py(download unicorn_hat_sim.py and place it in your project folder)- Adjust your
import unicornhathdstatement as follows:
try:
import unicornhathd as unicorn
print("unicorn hat hd detected")
except ImportError:
from unicorn_hat_sim import unicornhathd as unicornYou can choose from import unicornhathd (16x16), import unicornhat (8x8) and import unicornphat (8x4).
(Note that this gif has a low framerate, the simulator runs nice and smooth in real life)
- find a python person who shows me how this would be done properly
- fix/check rotation
- add a proper LED glow effect so it looks more like a real unicorn HAT
- publish via pip
