Hi,
I have just received an inkyphat from my brother who could never get it to work. (The hat has also travelled from Sheffield on sea - to Claire Australia and back to Leicester)
I have installed and updated Buster, updated all the latest drivers etc.
The examples seem to hang in the inkyphat.show() function.
If I run python3 I get the following
from inky.auto import auto
board=auto()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
File “/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/inky/auto.py”, line 44, in auto
raise RuntimeError(“No EEPROM detected! You must manually initialise your Inky board.”)
RuntimeError: No EEPROM detected! You must manually initialise your Inky board.
Is this an error ?
So I then tried to follow the manually commands as follows
from inky import InkyPHAT
def main(args):
InkyPHAT.set_image(“resources/backdrop.png”)
InkyPHAT.set_border(inky.RED)
InkyPHAT.show()
return 0
and get this
File “steve.py”, line 27, in main
InkyPHAT.set_image(“resources/backdrop.png”)
TypeError: set_image() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘image’
Confused as to what is going on and what to try.
Any ideas on what to try?
Steve
