Inky display not updated
Richard238 opened this issue · 4 comments
Inky phat display not changed, either with quote of the day, or a manual message.
This is on a Pi Zero with a fresh Balena OS install.
Also, I notice the code is set for Inky BLACK.
display = InkyPHAT("black") I'm new to Balena, so without SFTP/Desktop access, how do I change it for my YELLOW Inkyphat?
Thank you!
Hey @Richard238, I'm a member of the balena team and I am familiar with the inkyshot code. I'm running the inkyshot code on my Red Inkyphat and it runs totally fine (although I don't see any red color as inkyshot code base uses only black and white color at the moment. Actually it'd be great for inkyshot to support red/yellow/other colors).
I suspect that your device has another issue. Could you please open a thread at the balena forums?
Balena support team could help you troubleshoot the issue and even connect to your device to check out the logs (if you provide support access to your device).
I was rather hoping to avoid creating yet another forum login, but, it's done.

Thanks,
Richard.

Root cause here is that there seems to be a new hardware revision of the InkyPHAT which, although higher resolution, requires an updated version of the library. I've updated the libs and altered the code to autodetect both versions.
