unicorn-hat-sim 1.0.0

Usage

If you want your code to run on your computer as well as your Pi, you could do something like this:

1. pip install unicorn-hat-sim (or pip2 or pip3 depending on your setup)

2. Adjust your import unicornhathd statement as follows:

try:
    import unicornhathd as unicorn
    print("unicorn hat hd detected")
except ImportError:
    from unicorn_hat_sim import unicornhathd as unicorn

You can choose from import unicornhathd (16x16), import unicornhat (8x8) and import unicornphat (8x4).

Demo

(Note that this gif has a low framerate, the simulator runs nice and smooth in real life)

TODO

• [ ] 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
