Unicorn HAT mini dead green LED

Post by OhMesch »

Hello all,

Just received my unicorn hat mini yesterday and while it's super cool, I seem to be having the same problem as viewtopic.php?f=47&t=170968&p=839973.
Specifically the Green LED at x8, y4 is dead.

Would love to know the best way forward!

Find below some demo images taken using the testcode:

Code: Select all

import time

from unicornhatmini import UnicornHATMini

uhm = UnicornHATMini();
uhm.set_brightness(0.1)
uhm.set_rotation(0)

uhm.set_all(255,0,0)
uhm.show()
time.sleep(5)

uhm.set_all(0,0,255)
uhm.show()
time.sleep(5)

uhm.set_all(0,255,0)
uhm.show()
time.sleep(5)

uhm.set_all(255,255,0)
uhm.show()
time.sleep(5)
Thanks for your time!

Ahh, that is a bummer to have a dead LED. Please send an e-mail to [email protected] requesting a replacement Unicorn Hat mini. Include your original order# and a link to this forum thread.
