Recently procured a (yellow) pHAT, but having strange issues on the latest stock Rasbian with pHAT modules installed from ‘source’ (i.e. get.pimoroni.com/inky ). $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Release: 10 …

Pi Zero, with soldered on header? pHat firmly pressed down / attached to PI? SPI enabled in raspi-config?

I am not seeing anything “positive” in dmesg… so it’s looking plausible the issue is the connection, but it’s firmly attached and SPI is enabled (both in config.txt and via raspi-config). What’s the most appropriate way to confirm this device is seen by the kernel?

Reverted to cheating; lshw confirms the device is not present. I would have anticipated an error from Python if that were the case, but you know what they say about assumptions… I’ll attempt to trial some hardware swapping with non-Zeros and different GPIO connectors.

Any luck solving this? I have the same problem.

Solved by this thread/GH-issue [image] Inkyphat - not working Support Resolved and fixed. tl:dr; need to update to latest for newest chipset on the inky and update examples as well (see GitHub issue linked above for details) - great support - thanks Pimoroni folks!
