This repo contains a port of the Pimoroni mote-phat library from Python to Go, it also borrows heavily from @alexellis's blinkt_go library. It has been verified to work on Raspberry Pi 3 (Raspbian). Do let me know if you run on a different platform.
If you have a non-PHAT Mote go here: https://github.com/johnmccabe/mote
