Hello.
I got a brand new InkyPhat Yellow a few days ago, and have tried to set it up since.
The installation of the “all in one” script completed without any problems, but when i try to run any example it just gives me a message like this:
sudo python3 name-badge.py --type “phat” --colour “yellow” --name “My Name”
Inky pHAT/wHAT: Hello... my name is:
Use Inky pHAT/wHAT as a personalised name badge!
Failed to detect an Inky board, you must specify the type and colour manually.

I am running Dietpi and i have the case argon ONE V2, with a gpio ribbon cable (the inkyphat can’t go in without it)
I have tried reconnecting the board several times, made sure it was pushed all the way in, i tried reconnecting the cable on the back of the inkyphat and checked for shipping damage.
I am not sure what more i can do, and is not hoping for a hand from the forums.
