Hello,
I’m new to RPi and recently purchased a PiTFT capacitive touch screen and cyberdeck hat, and have not been able to get the screen working. The PiTFT lights and stays illuminated completely white when the RPI is on.
Products:
- Raspberry Pi 400
- Adafruit PiTFT Plus 320x240 2.8” TFT + - - Capacitive Touch Screen [ID:2423]
Adafruit Cyberdeck Hat for Raspberry Pi 400 [ID: 4863]
Thanks in advance for your help!
Matt
