I had a look when i first received mine, but there wasn’t a zero w compatible image, however you can install [Mopidy](https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/raspberrypi/) which pimusicbox is based on, then the web extension [Mopidy-MusicBox-Webclient](https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/ext/web/#mopidy-musicbox-webclient) that is used by Pimusicbox. If you install the pimoroni dashboard and use it to install the phat, the audio should work out of the box, if you [sudo usermod -a -G i2c mpd](http://forums.pimoroni.com/t/phat-dac-scroll-phat-pivumeter/4257/7) the vumeter should work, and a plugin [Mopidy-TtsGpio](https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/ext/frontends/#mopidy-ttsgpio) configured with the correct gpio pins should also get the buttons working as long as you configure a pin\_play\_led to an unused gpio [No sound from Pirate Radio after installing spotipy script](http://forums.pimoroni.com/t/no-sound-from-pirate-radio-after-installing-spotipy-script/4340/3)

again… the phat BEAT uses GPIO access direct, not I2C, so that is the group you should had any context-user to ;-)
