Mini Color PiTFT Ad Blocking Pi-Hole Kit

Post by eYeToEyeRob »

Hi,

I recently received this kit (1), below, assembled the pi zero into the case and installed the Adafruit Mini PiTFT screen (2), below. I then installed the pi-hole software via ssh and it is up and running.

However, the screen in not active. I understand that I need to install the python software and code to make the screen display information that would normally be shown on an HDMI monitor, and the stats from the running pi-hole.

I found the tutorial below (3), but it is for an older pi-hole kit using an OLED display. If I follow (3), will it work with the Adafruit Mini PiTFT display? Or do I need a different tutorial link to correctly install the python software for this Mini PiTFT display on the newer pi-hole pi zero W ?

The learn article looks like it is using the same display you have. Can you post pictures of your setup?
