Displayhatmini - Displaying a Basic Image?

I apologize for the out of the blue forum post, but I’m trying to troubleshoot a project involving a displayhatmini for the Raspberry Pi. I am trying to display an image on the screen, but for the life of me, I can only get it to flash on screen for a moment and in a small resolution before the display goes black. All other example scripts work fine, including the base pwm_backlight I’m trying to directly edit. I understand there’s pull request on Github and is a few years old, but I’m still having trouble. Additionally, I’m attempting to pivot and try the ST7789 resource for showing an image or gif, but after finally installing it (switching python to python3, messing up with numpy, and having to externally download libopenblas), I still cant get -anything- on screen. is this a conflict with the displayhatmini drivers? Any help would be great! Thanks,

Gavin Archer

You can try various things:

Blinka is a software shim for Raspberry Pi, emulating the necessary low-level APIs to use CircuitPython software and drivers (CircuitPython is originally for microcontrollers). With CircuitPython, you have great ST7789 support. And no more messing with numpy, libopenblas and so on.
