Explorer phat stepper motor drive
That'd be cool. Want to drive two steppers from the Pi, so was wondering whether to get two TB6612s, but if the explorer HAT can do it that'd be great.

Hi! I recently bought the phat dac. My plan was to build a music server with the rpi zero. The problem is that the board hasn't been recognized. I run as root curl -sS get.pimoroni.com/phatdac |...

What does running the script again do, does it offer to conduct a test? Have you restarted the Pi since running the script?

It offers to perform a sound test. But first i reboot it. Then i run the script again and perform the sound test.Now i just run as root the soundtest.

I'm not sure I am following what you are saying. Incidentally, your syntax for the sound test pasted above is incorrect, it should be: speaker-test -c2 -t wav which is quite possibly why you got the...

Thanks for you reply. Lots of the projects I've looked at seem to have a kind of breadboard where wires are stuck into. Is that something I put on top of the header once it's soldered onto the pi-zero?

Might have been a female header soldered in? https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/2x20-pin-gpio-header-for-raspberry-pi-2-b-a

Great thanks. I was looking at this video of how to solder a header to the zero and figure that is was I need. I'm assuming the link you posted will fit a pi-zero right?Thanks for your help.

I can certainly say that lsmod's output is not what I'd expect. It has no trace of the dac and contains entries unknown to me. I can only recommend you try in the first instance to confirm the phat...

be careful with fitting female headers - this will make it impossible, or at least complicate fitting a HAT or pHAT in the future. ... unless you have an extremely compelling reason to do so for a...

Ok, this was with a clean copy. Later i will put a clean copy of jessie (and if i can i will test with the raspi3) and test it again. But before that, here is the actual config.txt and thanks for the...

also, note that the second link posted is a special type of header, not a standard female as in the video you posted. ... could be useful in some cases though it would be a fairly unusual choice for a...

Ah, didn't realise sorry, I assumed it would work as a female header if you flipped it over, but the picture doesn't show the other side.

no worries... you could use it as a female header, with pin access on the other side, or the opposite, if for some reason that was what you were after. ... angled headers are yet another option, which...

yes, that looks like a clean config to me, with the modification that the phatdac script provides. ... strange, even without hardware fitted (let alone some dry joints, should that be the case) lsmod...

No, this is the config after reboot. So, later i will install a fresh jessie copy in the raspi 3 and see what happend. I will post the results. Thanks again and sorry for my english!
