Yes, it should work on any Pi with a 40 pin GPIO Header. ---

Thx. Is there a way to find the code i wrote in the old sd card that was on the rpi0 and move it over to the rpi4? Im looking thru the sdcard but all i can see are the regular boot files for the rpi0. all i see are the bcm files (broadcom i think, the cmdline and config txts, bootcode and COPYING, the fixups and the kernels and starts plus the overlays folder. I dont see any code files. I did this a while back so Im not even sure where the file would be but I know i used it to log sensor data to a cloud service so i would prefer to just use that code instead of writing it again. ---

What device are you trying to look at the card on? The boot partition is Fat 32 but the other partition is I think ext3? It’s a Linux Partition which won’t be viewable on a Windows PC. ---

That’s probably not going to work. Do you see both partitions or only just the Boot partition? ---

Plugging into a Linux PC will let you see it. If you have a USB Card Reader, you could just plug it into the Pi 4 via USB. ---

yeay! thx. I was able to access my files on the desktop. ok so i can copy them over to the rpi using the mv command i guess… One more thing. Since what im copying is a python file for the envirophat, i also have to install the envirophat library which I tried using this command here: ```auto curl https://get.pimoroni.com/envirophat | bash ``` from here: [Getting started with Enviro pHAT](https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-enviro-phat) but i get these errors towards the end: ```auto Checking environment...

I see `jessie` referenced in the error messages, are you running Jessie? I do believe jessie has been archived / removed from main stream etc. What the installer is looking for isn’t there anymore, it’s been moved. ---

The Rainbow screen is normal, you can disable it if you want. just add `disable_splash=1` to the config.txt. That being said, it should continue on after you see the rainbow screen to the desktop, does yours? ---

No it doesn’t, that’s the odd part. It started up fine on Jessie. I was burning the image with ssh and other settings so I just tried without any settings at all but still it’s been hanging on that rainbow screen for over 5 minutes now.
