  • Full Colour Control – Individually addressable RGB LEDs
  • Python API – NeoPixel-compatible library for easy programming
  • DMA over PWM – Smooth, flicker-free LED driving
  • pHAT Format – Sized for Raspberry Pi Zero, compatible with all 40-pin Pi models
  • GPIO Powered – No external power supply needed

Ideal For

  • 4×8 pixel art and animations
  • Status indicators and notifications
  • Mood lighting and ambient displays
  • Persistence of vision (POV) effects
  • Raspberry Pi Zero projects

Package Contents

  • 1× Pimoroni Unicorn pHAT
Note: Raspberry Pi board is not included and must be purchased separately. A 2×20 GPIO header is required (pre-soldered on Pi Zero WH, or solder your own).
