Hey there,

I just received a brand new inky phat yesterday and been trying to get it to work without success.

The inky phat arrived with the default logo on it (a bit pink instead of white compared to the photos of the previous version), and I plugged it into a Raspberry Pi Zero W. No matter what example I run it just doesn’t do anything, it hangs. When I try to stop the script with Ctrl+C the traceback is always in the same state:

^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "cal.py", line 166, in <module>
    inkyphat.show()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/inkyphat/__init__.py", line 113, in show
    _panel.update()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/inkyphat/inky212x104.py", line 193, in update
    self._display_init()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/inkyphat/inky212x104.py", line 102, in _display_init
    self.reset()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/inkyphat/inky212x104.py", line 238, in reset
    self._busy_wait()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/inkyphat/inky212x104.py", line 228, in _busy_wait
    while(GPIO.input(self.busy_pin) == GPIO.LOW):
KeyboardInterrupt
Shutting down display, please wait...

Then it stays at Shutting down until I Ctrl+C again.

I tried rebooting, made sure the Raspbian version was up to date, waited for one hour, tried executing the python steps on the command line and it’s always the same.

Am I missing something? is there any checks I may perform to identify the problem?
