Getting Started guide for Clipper HAT Mini: Incorrect serial port

Support
1

Hi folks.

In this guide:

https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-clipper-hat

The serial port to connect is given as “/dev/ttyAMA0”.
This is only case on the RPi5, For other board types (I think all) it will be “/dev/ttyS0”.

Is this the right place to get a correction to filter through to the guide?

Cheers

Did you get it working with a Pi4, all I get is a solid green light - even after using the corrected port

3

Yes. Got it working on a Pi3B+, Pi4 & Pi5.

I followed the tutorial exactly, except the serial port on the Pi3B+ and 4.

Where does your’s fail? Do you get an ‘at’?

I get an OK from AT command but I never see the green light flashing.

But I’m using my own sims which work with a different board and our PICO devices.

Was hoping this would work out of the box with Pi4.

Are you using a Sim that was sent with the HAT (i didn’t get one but i see they talk of an offer)

The green LED doesn’t flash until after the first connection. Yes, I’m using the sim that came with the unit. Was lucky enough to get a free one with the early offer.
