Installing
Full install (recommended):
We’ve created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get your Unicorn HAT HD up and running with minimal efforts. To run it, fire up Terminal which you’ll find in Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal on your Raspberry Pi desktop, as illustrated below:
Finding the terminal
In the new terminal window type the command exactly as it appears below (check for typos) and follow the on-screen instructions:
curl https://get.pimoroni.com/unicornhathd | bashIf you choose to download examples you’ll find them in /home/pi/Pimoroni/unicornhathd/. To prototype and try out your code without having to deploy it onto a Raspberry Pi every time, you can use the Unicorn HAT simulator to run a mock Unicorn HAT on your computer.
Manual install:
SPI needs to be enabled to communicate with the Unicorn Hat HD. If the SPI on your Pi is not enabled or you are unsure if it is:
sudo raspi-config nonint do_spi 0
sudo rebootLibrary install for Python 3:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev python3-spidev
sudo pip3 install unicornhathdLibrary install for Python 2:
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev python-spidev
sudo pip install unicornhathdDevelopment:
If you want to contribute, or like living on the edge of your seat by having the latest code, you should clone this repository, cd to the library directory, and run:
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools
sudo python3 setup.py install(or sudo python setup.py install whichever your primary Python environment may be)
In all cases you will have to enable the SPI bus.
