After abandoning the Enviro+ since 2023 I gave it another go today using Debian Trixie on a pi zero W. Initially the LCD was not working, now fixed by using Claude. That conversation for anyone who...

Thanks again. Looking at the specifications made me realise what I originally proposed was never going to work. The NeoPixel driver uses 3-pin JST-PH, which makes a lot more sense as it can handle 2A....

Ok, I was going to ask what you were driving the Ring "with" but got sidetracked along the way. That is a 3 pin connector not a 4 pin like the QWICC. So maybe this, shop.pimoroni.com 3 Pin JST-SH...

Thanks for the suggestion. I was looking at JST-SH because I’m driving the ring with the Adafruit NeoPixel Driver and that’s the connector it uses. I could remove the connector from the driver board,...

Hello, Does anyone know the current limit for the VCC and GND wires on the JST-SH to JST-SH (500mm)? I’m hoping to use it to connect to a 24 LED RGBW NeoPixel ring and I know those can draw...

What I read: this can happen if there is an OS update in the background, which is activated by default on PiOS. The reason it does not reboot itself is because this is usually not necessary. The only...

I agree. You also need to be careful to avoid 2 power sources (USB and motor power for example) with some configurations as there are no protective diodes in some of the bases. Given all this, I have...

My suggestion: boot from a SD-card (or USB-stick) and then analyze the system log. Also, you have commands like lspci -t -v that can give you insights into your PCIe infrastructure. Once up and...
