Magtag display not responding

Post by noPwRon »

Hello,

I have been experiencing some issues with my Magtag e-ink display. The screen has been displaying the following output and will not change. I have tried uploading new code to the device, as well as uploading a newer *.uf2 file. When I press the reset button the #0 neopixel flashes and I am able to see the device as CIRCUITPY (D:), but beyond that it is unresponsive. I am wondering if the display has died, but I don't know how I can check that

I realize this thread is a little old... but I had a similar issue and updating circuit python resolved it for me.

@noPwRon Sorry for missing this. Moved this post to the CircuitPython forum for better visibility. It looks to me like you just have a code issue. Going through a general update would be a good idea. Update to latest CircuitPython firmware:
https://circuitpython.org/board/adafrui ... grayscale/
and also grab the latest library bundles and update all those as well:
