Matt Manning, from Raspberry Pi IV Beginners, has done a short video looking at Pimoroni’s Unicorn HAT which has an array of Neopixels that you can control direct from the Pi. If you haven’t seen the Unicorn in action, take a look – it’s a lovely little add-on board with much blinkies!
You can buy a Unicorn HAT from The Pi Hut or Pimoroni, amongst others.
