Not Turning On #4

Closed myprogers closed 3 years ago

myprogers commented 3 years ago

Is this supposed to start automatically? For some reason after I did all the steps my screen is still blank. What should I do?

P.S. the backlight and RGB LED still work just nothing on the screen.

I have not used this yet but I think you'll need to run python3 main.py from the command line to start it

Found out what happened. Turns out I used the wrong MicroPython UF2 file instead of the one from Pimoroni. Apparently only the one from Pimoroni works with the Pico Display Pack and not the UF2 file from Raspberry Pi's website.
