Pimoroni Unicorn HAT Add-On Board for Raspberry Pi
Add 64 RGB LEDs to your Raspberry Pi with the Pimoroni Unicorn HAT. Ideal for pixel art, mood lighting & POV effects.
The Pimoroni Unicorn HAT is a compact add-on board that transforms your Raspberry Pi into a dazzling pocket aurora. Designed to protect your Pi from a rainbow-coloured fusion, this HAT features a 64 RGB LED matrix (WS2812B) and is powered directly from the Pi, making it the most portable way to add vibrant, controllable colour to your projects.
With a Python API and compatibility with Raspberry Pi 2, B+ and A+, the Unicorn HAT is perfect for mood lighting, 8x8 pixel art, persistence of vision effects, and status indications. The LEDs are driven via DMA over PWM, ensuring smooth animations without taxing the CPU. The onboard EEPROM contains the HAT configuration details for seamless setup.
