Hello, I would like to add a bigger display to an Enviro+ hat. I see that there are GPIO holes for a header on the hat itself. Any idea if this could be done ? Anyone else tried it and could maybe point me to more info ? Thanks for your time.

I don’t own that hat, but I am running modified versions of that code on multi display setups. A second display could be added, it will be a bit of work though. Those holes for a header aren’t for a display, not an SPI display anyway. Enviro Plus at Raspberry Pi GPIO Pinout

Thank you for your reply and pointing out that the holes are not for what I thought they could be. Would you have time to expand a bit more on what kind of work needs to be done ?

You’re going to need to get access to the GPIO pins needed to wire up another display. One way to do it is as follows. Adafruit Perma Proto Bonnet Mini Kit - Pimoroni 2x20 pin Female GPIO Header for Raspberry Pi - Pimoroni As a bonus, it will add some distance between the Pi and Enviro, reducing…

Thank you.I already have on order the proto board and I also have the header. They were intended for a different project but I’ll try them. The display I have is based on the ST7789 driver. Do you think it will work ? Do I have to call the ST7789 library for it ?

Should work. Yes, you will have to call up the ST7789 library for it. Is it a Pimoroni Display? A link to it would help?

Sorry,life got it the way. It is not a Pimoroni display,rather a cheap chinese one I had around based on the ST7789 driver. Or so I thought. My colors were inverted so I had to do some digging into the Adafruit’s library but I got it. I am not entirely satisfied because my display doesn’t get initi…

What sensors are you using on the Enviro+? The other way to go is just a BME280 and a display. You can ignore the Buttons and LED on the Display Hat. You don’t have to use them, or even wire them up. I have two Pico Display Packs wired up like that.

I’m using all but the PMS5003. Interesting thought about the display hat,I was thinking that too. I’ll get one soon. I didn’t know about the pico packs,now I see it. I should browse the site more I guess. How would I go about splitting the info on the screens?

Awesome setup. Love it. Thank you for the detailed explanation and pictures,much appreciated. The code is very welcomed. I am better at hardware than software,so it will help me a lot. I do have pHat stacks and a black hck3r stack as well which I use right now for my temporary setup. I like a bit b…
