did you install the TFT kernel driver? you can't use both!
I guess that explains it, thanks. I saw the "choose one" but I didn't realize you couldn't do both.
I spent hours looking for a solution until I came across this issue - which then explained that you can't use both. It would be nice if someone could update the documentation to clearly indicate this. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-mini-pitft-135x240-color-tft-add-on-for-raspberry-pi/kernel-module-install
@makermelissa ^ add a warning to guide? you'll need to add same warning for gifguide
@ladyada will do. Thanks @wavesailor for letting us know.
Warning added.
also maybe add for later to show how to remove the kernel module from /etc/modules and /boot/config
Additional warning added.
Hello, I am new to hardware. I am trying to configure the Mini PiTFT 135x240 on a Pi Zero W (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-mini-pitft-135x240-color-tft-add-on-for-raspberry-pi/python-setup), and when I run the rgb_display_minipitfttest.py script, I get the following error:
I have gone back through the CircuitPython on Linux and Raspberry Pi guide, and done every step, and the "blinka test" passed on all fronts. The only red flag was that the output from /dev/spi* did not include spidev0.0, only 0.1
Can you offer any guidance?
