Unicorn HAT HD - raspicam.py not working

It looks like the example script raspicam.py is supposed to display what the camera detects on the Unicorn HAT HD. The only thing is that I can’t get it working. I ran a test on the camera and it seems to be working fine. When I run raspicam.py (just like any other example script), it pauses at:

Unicorn HAT HD: Raspberry Pi Camera Display

Show a 16x16 feed from your Raspberry Pi camera!


/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/picamera/encoders.py:521: PiCameraAlphaStripping: using alpha-stripping to convert to non-alpha format; you may find the equivalent alpha format faster
  "using alpha-stripping to convert to non-alpha "
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/picamera/encoders.py:544: PiCameraResolutionRounded: frame size rounded up from 16x16 to 32x16
  width, height, fwidth, fheight)))

while displaying nothing on the Unicorn HAT HD, and then when I keyboard interrupt, It finishes off with:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    'Incorrect buffer length for resolution %dx%d' % (width, height))

Any thoughts on what I might be able to do to get this working? Thanks!
