- Screens not displaying:
- Ensure the HAT is correctly seated on the Raspberry Pi's GPIO header.
- Verify that the SPI interface is enabled in your Raspberry Pi's configuration (e.g., via
raspi-config). - Check your software code for correct initialization of the ST7789 and ST7735S drivers and proper SPI communication.
- Confirm that the power supply to your Raspberry Pi is adequate.
- User keys not responding:
- Ensure your software is correctly reading the GPIO pins assigned to K1 and K2.
- Check for any conflicts with other GPIO usage in your project.
- Display artifacts or incorrect colors:
- Review your display initialization code, especially parameters like color mode and orientation.
- Ensure the correct driver (ST7789 for main, ST7735S for secondary) is being used for each screen.
