Hi,
I am new with Raspberry Pi and bought a MacArthur Hat V1.2 last week.
My configuration : Raspberry Pi 5, 8go, NVme + SSD 1go, BMP280, MacArthur Hat + IMU + Power Supply 12/5V (these 2 last modules have not been tested for now).
I first install Openplotter on a 1g SSD drive thru a Nvme Hat. I started with that configuration and everything worked fine. I succesfully connected a BMP280 sensor on GPIO and got data sent to server K without any problem.
After that, I just put the MacArthur hat on top of my Raspberry Pi. Surprisingly, while my raspberry use its official 5V power Supply, I can't see the 5V led Lightning on the Hat... None of the led is on by the way...
Ok, so I tried anyway to connect my BMP280 sensor thru a qwiic cable directly on the MacArturHat, but it doesn't seem to work : No address is visible on I2C interface.
I don't know if I have missed something ?
Is it normal that the 5V led is off while the Hat is on top of a Raspberry Pi powered by its power supply ?
Is there a way to confirm that MacArthur Hat is active without connecting NMEA or GPS ?
Many thanks for your help.
