Apologies in advance for what is probably a very basic question. I just bought a Pimoroni 2.8" display with a picow WH. I have connected it up and can run stuff through Thonny but when I try to run any of the demos from here:
Nothing happens. The green LED to the right of the screen flashes once and then nothing.
I have loaded picow-v1.23.0-1-pimoroni-micropython.uf2 to the picow.
Any clues where I am going wrong?
Hi,
Those examples are set up by default for our original Display Pack. To use them with our newer packs you need to replace all occurrences of DISPLAY_PICO_DISPLAY with DISPLAY_PICO_DISPLAY_2. If you check the Getting Started section of the product page, that will explain a bit more: Pico Display Pack 2.8"
Yes, I was aware of the DISPLAY_PICO_DISPLAY_2 thing and updated the script accordingly.
Solved it now, I am indeed an idiot.
I just had the pins sat lightly in the board, I didn’t realise it had to be firmly pushed down. Every day is a school day…
JFYI you also have to adjust the pin numbers for the RGB LED. ;)
