[Solved] Screen blank using setup.sh from this repo

[omiq]

• Latest Raspbian Stretch
• Pi Zero W
• apt-get Updated, Upgraded, firmware updated

The Curl command responds with We can't connect to the Internet, check your network!" which is weird because the curl is using the internet to get the script.

Cloning this repo gets further but on reboot the screen flashes then goes blank.

hyperpixel-init flashes the screen then goes blank

The backlight is on

Solved

• Install Jesse
• The curl command still does not work on Jesse but ran it anyway
• git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/hyperpixel/
• run the new install.sh after chmod +x

IIRC our curl scripts check for connectivity by pinging a known-more-or-less-stable IP address. This may be something you've got blocked. In hindsight it may be completely unecessary since- as you rightfully point out- curl had to connect to the internet to get the script in the first place.
