Inky pHAT | Error: "Supplied width/height do not match Inky: 0x0"

Support
1

I recently updated to the new Inky library and now can’t seem to get any script to run or update the Inky pHAT display. All I get is the following error, of which I can’t seem to find any indicators online as to what the problem may be. This happens with all the built-in examples as well as my own code.

I’ve updated everything, uninstalled the old library, rebooted. It happens no matter what the parameters are (i.e. -c Black or -c Red)

From everything I can tell, I have a newer v2 (White / Black / Red).

Any ideas? Am I missing something simple?

pi@raspberrypi:~/Pimoroni/inky/examples/phat $ ./weather-phat.py --colour red
Inky pHAT: Weather

Displays weather information for a given location. The default location is Sheffield-on-Sea.

I have this same problem.

Is my eeprom corrupt?

can I update it?

None of the examples function.
I do have another inky. it is an older black from before the eeprom. and it works.

pi@raspi-eink:~/Pimoroni/inky/examples/phat $ python3 calendar-phat.py -t phat -c yellow
Inky pHAT: Calendar
