#Jessie If you’ve just got started with a Pi 2, chances are you’ll want to run Raspbian Jessie. It’s the new hotness and makes a some things easier and simpler to install. Check it out here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ ##If you’re updating an old Raspbian A new stable Raspbian…

Nope, due to a miraculous stroke of good fortune it now actually works better than it did on the B+. Well actually it works better on the B+ too. The new software is better all 'round. We’ve had a pixel-shading demo ( crafted by the mad genius of @Jon ) running in the office for about 3 days now, i…

Hey that makes it twice the value :) Bought!

Is that pixel shading demo in the examples on github?

Yup! Right here: https://github.com/pimoroni/unicorn-hat/blob/master/python/examples/demo.py

Hey there! New to all this stuff! I managed to get the demos working on my RPi 2 by creating executable files with “sudo nano” and pasting in the Python code… Then run it from the terminal with “sudo /home/pi/demo.py” I assume that’s how it is meant to be done??? I do have one issue?? How do i turn …

Yes creating an executable file with the code and running it with sudo is the way to go! You don’t need to run nano with sudo though. You can usually stop a running script with: Ctrl+C

Unicorn really was a one line install for me with a fresh Raspian on a Pi2 :o) (and looks so much better in reality than it does in the videos)

I know the munmap and memory leak errors are known issues, I was just wondering if its something that can be fixed?

Hey there! Does your mini wireless keyboard and trackpad work with the pi 2?

Yup! It does. It’s the very one I use in fact. Although It’ll drive you crazy trying to program with it… Still not sure why I do that :D It’s good for media use though, and losing down the side of the sofa!
