Hi,
I am a newbie. I plugged my new pi zero 2 into my new 4 inch pimoroni screen and nothing is turning on or happening. The screen turns a little blue, but nothing is happening. I did insert the 16GB Card with NOOBS 3.1 for Raspberry Pi before plugging in.
It’s probably something dumb simple I am missing. I have used a pi before with a standard screen. Is it a power issue? the is lighting up.
If you’re using a recent version of Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye or later) then you’ll need to use the built in kernel drivers - just add the following line to the end of your boot/firmware/config.txt (and then reboot):
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dpi-hyperpixel4sq
You will need to have I2C disabled (sudo raspi-config nonint do_i2c 1) along with any other interfaces that use the GPIO.
to disable the I2C, do I add that command in the config.txt file as well?
No, you just run it from the terminal window, and reboot.
I think if the screen was working I could do that. Right now it’s just black.
You will need to temporarily plug a monitor into the HDMI connector, or SSH into that Pi to get terminal access. On a fresh install of Pi OS, it should be disabled by default.
yea. working on it :-). thank you so much for your time- totally appreciate.
