Scrolling text on UnicornHatHD
I wanted scrolling text on the UnicornHatHD which has a 16×16 LED array, and could only find a program that would do it on the old UnicornHat with its 8×8 array.

If you change a couple of lines in UHScroll.py, it works on the UnicornHatHD.
Change the definition of flip to:-
flip = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]
and change the start of show_letter() to:-
def show_letter(letter,colour,brightness):
UH.rotation(0)
for i in range(16):
for j in range(8):
That’s all you need to scroll text on the top 8 rows of LEDs. It should be fairly easy to use the lower 8 rows as well…
Useful?
