Good evening. What is the correct procedure to install an automation hat mini on a raspberry pi zero with raspbian light ? The procedure suggested on the site installs a working system for the automation hat and for the phat. The system is not working for the mini however. Also, the examples are not fully copied (hat-mini lacks). Any help greatly appreciated ! Guibert ---

What is not working? What happens when you run the installer? `curl https://get.pimoroni.com/automationhat | bash` Do you get error messages etc? Are these the examples your running? > **[pimoroni/automation-hat](https://github.com/pimoroni/automation-hat/tree/master/examples/hat-mini)** > > Python library and examples for the Pimoroni Automation HAT & pHAT - pimoroni/automation-hat ---

The installation runs ok. The examples from hat-mini are however not installed by the installation procedure. When I copy the examples from hat-mini, when executed, no module ST7735 is found. The older examples (hat) run flawlessly on the mini (as if it were a phat). I will ty another install tomorrow with a full Rasbian on a pi 3B, and see what it gives. Any other suggestions ?

I had a feeling that was going to be what you’d say. ST7735 is I believe the LCD display. This one I think? > **[0.96" SPI Colour LCD (160x80) Breakout – Pimoroni Store](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/0-96-spi-colour-lcd-160x80-breakout)** > > A handy lil' LCD to add readouts to your projects.

Good morning ! Thank you for your response. Actually, I did take these steps (for st7735) yesterday even before your reaction came. But then other things came up. When I run output.py in the hat-mini folder, I now get this error message: output.py 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 One step further ?

Problem solved ! I browsed the ST7735 **init**.pi file. the spi-interface was not activated. Thanks for helping me out. Have a nice weekend. And remain careful, stay safe and healthy. Guibert ---

My forum e-mails for what ever reason are going into my Outlook Spam folder. Which is kind of messing things up for me reply wise. I had a similar issue with the 1.3 inch SPI one. SPI wasn’t enabled, at least that’s what I think happened. Anyway enjoy your new toy. =) > [@1.3 color tft LCD on btreakout garden pHat, SPI i2c](https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/1-3-color-tft-lcd-on-btreakout-garden-phat-spi-i2c/13033): > > I’m trying to get my 1.3" SPI Colour LCD (240x240) Breakout working with a Breakout Garden pHat The Breakout garden Installer didn’t find it, I had to do the manual install from here Running the scrolling-test.py example from idle3 got me a no module named st7789.
