1、Please ask what system you are using, what system version.
Is it our compatible system. Our tutorial has introduced the compatible system oh, please see the tutorial:
https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/pironman-v2/en/latest/
2、Are all the short connectors on the motherboard connected? (As shown in the picture)

3、Is the Pironman software service installed correctly according to the tutorial? Is there any error message during the installation process? (If there is any error message, please provide it to us)
4、Please provide logs to us, so that we can analyze and solve the problem. (Log path /opt/pironman/log)
5、Please provide the problem video to us, so that we can analyze and solve the problem.

Hi , I’ve put everything in the right spot according to the instructions and watching YouTube video the other day and re watched YouTube video again today and everything exactly the same, is there a physical tell tale sign of what version of the pironman I have? It’s possible I put the wrong version of software on it but I can’t confirm that because my paper instructions are at home and on your website it tells you to look at the paper, I’m not able to find out until i get home after work , but my pi is with me so I fix the software if that was done incorrectly.

The software installed correctly didn’t give any errors when I did it and it asked me to reboot and I typed Y and did it.

The motherboard as shown is the pironman motherboard of the new version V2. (Picture)

Please check if the OLED screen is connected properly, we suggest to unplug it again.
Please provide logs to us so that we can analyze and solve the problem. (log path /opt/pironman/log)
You may have cloned the wrong code branch, please check if your pironman code branch is v2.0.
cd ~/pironman
git branch
If not, switch to v2.0 and reinstall it:
git checkout v2.0
sudo python3 install.py
In the v2.0 code, the IO10 (spi) pin is used by default to drive rgb.
The command to change the rgb IO is pironman -rp 10.
Check if the IO short connector on the motherboard is connected correctly.

It’s a version 2
And I just tried
cd ~/pironman
git branch

Had the words:

Master

[End]

Nothing else

If you you executed:
cd ~/pironman
git branch
the printout is Master, you have cloned the wrong branch, please execute:
cd ~/pironman
git checkout v2.0
sudo python3 install.py
and reboot the Raspberry Pi.
Another tip: Please reply to our questions carefully, so that we can help you solve the problem faster.

The system you are currently using is the DietPi system, right?
We give you the path to the log /opt/pironman/log, you also need to use the command to view the log Oh, the command is:
cat /opt/pironman/log
Provide the log to us.
We recommend that you install the Raspberry Pi system and install our pironman on the system terminal and see how it works.
Did you re-clone the code branch?
You have installed the wrong code branch (Master), the correct branch is V2.0.
So you need to execute the following command:
cd ~/pironman
git checkout v2.0
sudo python3 install.py
and reboot the Raspberry Pi.

dietpi@DietPi:~$ sudo cat /opt/pironman/log
