Enviro+ LCD not working on Pi Zero W

#1

I’ve done a fresh install of Debain Buster on a Raspberry Pi Zero W and then ran the installation script:
curl -sSL https://get.pimoroni.com/enviroplus | bash

From what I can see, the examples all work, with exception of the LCD scripts e.g. lcd.py and all-in-one.py, the script seems to continue as normal with no errors, but the LCD is blank.

I’ve checked the ribbon cable and connector on the back and both seem to be fine.
I’ve done the usual, update, reboot, re-install etc…
Has anyone else seen this, or have and recommendations?

Have you tried using “python lcd.py” instead of “python3 lcd.py”

#3

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately neither python nor python3 work. I’m going to email support to see if they know of anything.

After you setup the pi with a fresh copy of buster and run
curl -sSL https://get.pimoroni.com/enviroplus | bash
then run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

This will push into your system any changes that were incorporated in the update but not included in the latest buster image.

Hi,

is there a final solution for the topic? After adding PMS5003 and changing the config of the PI Zero my LCD is somehow blank too. Looks like background light is on but nothing displayed any more.
Any feedback from support?
Thanks for any hint.
