Snow on my Oled dislpay with new pironman / raspberry pi 5 setup

Accessories for Raspberry Pi and Arduino
1

So I just assembled my pironman case together with my new raspberry pi 5 and installed the pironman software on my raspberry. sadly enough I encounter the following problems:

  • Oled display shows snowy screen (like old tv)
  • No oled light at all
  • 2 Back fans never spin at all.
  • Cant access any web page for configuration on the 34001 port.

Got the following errors in my log:

does this mean the pi 5 model is still too new to use pironman case on ?

Did you install the right version for your pironman5? There’s 3 variants, the standard, the mini and the Max. After that, can you provide a screen shot or video when you install pironman5 software?

Thx man! seems I took the pironman instead of pironman5 :pensive_face: .

Even with pironman5 you have 3 différents models: standard, mini, max.
