LCD pypilot hat

[gildas declercq]

Hi all

I kind of solved, but don't know exactly what was the issue.
i reinstalled from fresh headless openplotter image
update all
installed pypilot
activate SPI interface
activate UART0 in serial
autorized what was asked in signalK as R/W
update pypilot
add ttyAMA0 to pypilot , from pypilot

a couple of reboot , each time it was asked.

et voilà !
LCD screen is showing compass and "no motor controller" (which is correct)

I will redo the whole process to make sure I have it seamlessly

regards

Hi all,

I have so far only tried to connect the hat on the rpi and the moter controller to DC current to make some tests.

nothing shows up on LCD.
there is some lights so it looks like getting current.
but nothing on the screen.

at what step should I see something ?

how can I test it, like with command line ?

thanks a lot

Did you enable SPI in the raspbian config?

 

Oh ! My problem was that, thank you Brak ! It works for me.
