The Pimoroni Unicorn HAT Mini for Raspberry Pi is a compact and colourful add-on board designed to bring creative LED projects to life. With a 17x7 matrix of 119 RGB LEDs, each one individually controllable for colour and brightness, it’s perfect for animations, status displays, simple pixel art, scrolling messages, and coding experiments.
The built-in four tactile buttons add extra interactivity, making it easy to create controls for brightness, colour changes, menus, games, or custom functions in your own Raspberry Pi projects.
This Mini HAT comes fully assembled with no soldering required, so it can be fitted straight onto compatible Raspberry Pi boards with a 40-pin header. It also includes Python library support, making it accessible for beginners while still offering plenty of flexibility for more advanced makers and coders.
Whether you're building a fun desktop display, a programmable message board, or an interactive coding project, the Unicorn HAT Mini is a brilliant way to add vivid lighting and functionality to your Raspberry Pi.
