I have an Unicorn HAT Mini, and saw that there are some nice Python examples for the Scroll HAT Mini (like the clock) which are not in the example library for the Unicorn HAT Mini. Does anybody has some tips which parts have to be changed so Scroll HAT Mini scripts run on a Unicorn HAT Mini?

Good morning! Sadly your solution didn’t work, gives me this error: File "./clock.py", line 76 r, g, b = (255, 255, 255) # Use our global brightness value ^ SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument If I leave the brightness=BRIGHTNESS I get this one: Traceback (most rece…

If you leave the Brightness line “and” the r, g, b = (255, 255, 255) line out what happens? Just a FYI, in case you didn’t know. Any text with a # in front of it is ignored. It’s just a comment that doesn’t do anything code wise.

I still get the same error, will try to somehow get the write_string inserted functional in the Unicorn HAT Mini its __init__.py. That text with a # is ignored I already knew, but thanks :) edit: after putting the write_string and clear rect (later in the script, but also not in the Unicorn HAT Min…

The Scroll Phat HD function reference is here. http://docs.pimoroni.com/scrollphathd/ Which lists those commands and what arguments they expect. Unfortunately all I can find for the Unincorn Mini is as folows pimoroni/unicornhatmini-python/blob/master/REFERENCE.md # Reference <!-- omit …

Phil @gadgetoid are you out there buddy? We could sure some help writing a string value to this new bit of kit?

@placebo83 have a look see at this thread and see if it helps any. [image] Simple way to display a variable on Unicorn Hat HD Support Hi, I’ve got my BME680 set up on a PHAT STACK with my Unicorn HAT HD. I want to combine the two and display the air quality reading on my…

The clear_rect is different than the clear(), since the Scroll HAT Mini has also the clear attribute in its __init__.py. Although I tried it just to see what happens and in combination with leaving the write_string part out I don’t get an error anymore, I get a pixel blinking, moving around “randoml…

Hopefully mine will show up soon and I can join the fun. =) At some point I’ll be looking for what you have so far, code wise.

Back again for a bit, but no new insights. I end up with the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./clock.py", line 71, in <module> unicornhatmini.write_string( AttributeError: 'UnicornHATMini' object has no attribute 'write_string' I copied the def write_string from the Scroll HA…

For some reason the UnicornHATMini def of write_string doesn’t seem to be getting picked up, are you certain you replaced the init.py in the UnicornHATMini’s library folder? You might need to upload the code somewhere so we can take a poke through it.
