Did you install using our one-liner, and did you reboot your Pi afterwards?

3

I have now rebooted and yes i used one liner now it says a similar thing ending in

IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error

Thanks for your swift reply

how are you connecting the HAT to the Pi, directly on top of the GPIO?

I am connecting the hat directly onto the gpio pins so it lies over the board

Have now reconnected hat and it works fine now thanks for the help
