SPI Device Not Found about train-departure-display HOT 13 CLOSED

Is SPI enabled in Raspbian?

sudo raspi-config

Select 5 Interfacing Options, then P4 SPI, Yes (to enable the SPI interface)

Agreed thank you so much @Dreadmond ! Worked like a charm!

@stuartbain That fixed it for me! Thankyou!

Good stuff @KeirDavis1 - thanks for helping @stuartbain. Would be great to see some photos when you finish the project.

Hi, I'm getting a similar error trying to run through the balena deployment, any help appreciated. I can see that the "spi=on" DT parameter is set so not sure what's going on.

Having exactly the same issues as KGS-STEAM. tried on both a pi zero w and a pi zero 2 w. same outcome. Was worried I'd brought a duff screen but maybe not.

any help would obviously be really appreciated.

many thanks

Same here, I have tried 2 Pi zero w's two different displays. I have changed the 0Ohm resistor from R6 to R5 to enable 4SPI. triple checked wiring. metered out connections to ensure continuity and checked 3v supply to display. I guess the next thing to try is check the displays with an arduino.

any help would be really appreciated.

@Dreadmond. You are a star!! This is exactly what I needed. Just tried it ant it works! Thank you so much for taking the time.

Thanks for sharing this guys - I'll take a look here as this definitely wasn't necessary in the past!

Note to myself - it looks (from the logs) like the device is trying to run in dualScreen mode anyway, which explains why enabling the second SPI port resolves the error. Probably something to do with the recent changes to configuration options

+1 - That setting fixed it for me too, thanks @Dreadmond! Already bough a replacement screen as I assumed the old one was broken.

OK should be fixed now - thanks for reporting it all!
