Here you'll find everything you need to start lighting up your UnicornHat in python.
Python users should probably ignore most of this repository and just:
\curl -sS get.pimoroni.com/unicornhat | bash
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev
sudo pip-3.2 install unicornhat
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev
sudo pip install unicornhat
Then proceed to python/examples.
This library is based upon a modified version of the ws2812 C driver from: https://github.com/626Pilot/RaspberryPi-NeoPixel-WS2812
