I get these messages in the log:  
Got firmware info  
1.3.14;p:Hills

It worked for a few days and suddenly stopped!  
2nd skywriter works with same PI and same software.

what now?

I am building a project with 20 of these - so failure is no option!

> You can try: the firmware files are available in the Skywriter HAT repository here: [https://github.com/pimoroni/skywriter-hat/tree/master/firmware](https://github.com/pimoroni/skywriter-hat/tree/master/firmware) Plug in your Skywriter HAT and then: git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/skywriter-hat cd firmware sudo python3 ./update.py (Don’t do this on a full-sized Skywriter!)

Thanks for semaf electronics for help!
