Zero W and Enviro pHat - problems?

Support
1

Hi,

Just bough Zero W and Enviro pHat from The Pihut.

For some reason Zero W is unable to see pHat and i2cdetect shows empty matrix.
Is there any known problems with new hw Zero W and Enviro pHat?

BR,

Mika

How did you install the envirophat software?

3

I was following instructions form https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/getting-started-with-enviro-phat

And I forgot to mention that I used GPIO Hammer Header and didn’t solder anything (yet).

4

when you say you didn’t solder anything, what do you mean? are you using a male and a female hammer-on header, one for the Pi and one for the pHAT?

5

Yes. I have female on Pi and male through pHat.

6

can you please post a photo of your setup

Here is the picture.

You should have hammered the male header into the pi zero and if the female header isn’t a hammer header you need to solder it to the phat.

Thanks.

I did the “right” thing and now pHat seems to be working.
