Automation hat mini examples not working

Support
1

I have a rpi4 with an automation hat mini connected directly.

I started the tutorial from here:
https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/getting-started-with-automation-hat-and-phat

I did the curl install then a reboot.

I went to the ~/Pimoroni/automationhat/examples/hat-mini directory and tried the output.py example.

It complained that the ST7735 module wasn’t installed, so I did a
pip install ST7735

Now I get:

This Automation HAT Mini example toggles and displays the
status of the three 24V-tolerant digital outputs.

Press CTRL+C to exit.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “output.py”, line 52, in
spi_speed_hz=4000000
File “/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/ST7735/init.py”, line 156, in init
self._spi = spidev.SpiDev(port, cs)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

had to enable SPI in rpi config. it seems to be working now.

Can you please share how one would accomplish this task? I’m new to all this… just hoping to get the demo running as I learn. Thanks!

I found this message:

Which suggested this solution:

curl -sSL https://get.pimoroni.com/enviroplus | bash

Which worked for me.
