Installed Board and verified w/ i2cdetect -y 1

  • Correctly showing 42 as address

Ran flick-demo

  • Verified valid firmware etc.

Began gesturing over board (no cover)

  • No response when running flick-demo, or flick-snail

Wondering how to debug further, apologies for any naivety, beginner speaking!

Using a Pi 3 pre-imaged with NOOBS

Any other method of debugging?

So nothing else is connected to your Pi, you are running a fresh version of Raspbian and the Flick board is correctly wired to your RPi 3B?
BTW @shawaj was asking which Flick you have not which Pi

The link @matthew1809 gave (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/human-machine-interface-hmi-development-kits/1365431/) shows the Flick HAT.

As @tvoverbeek said 👍

So nothing else is connected to your Pi

  • usb keyboard and mouse, hmdi for display

you are running a fresh version of Raspbian

  • correct

the Flick board is correctly wired to your RPi 3B?

  • As per the following from the guides, yes Place the Flick HAT on top of the Raspberry Pi by gently pushing the female header onto the Raspberry Pi male header.

Sorry I hadn't seen the link. I am out of options then, there could be grounds to return the item then.

No worries!

Is there a layer between the demo and the raw recognition of the gesture, where we could inject some logging?

Or, is it clear cut that if not logging in the demo, it's not being picked up by the board?

Firmware refresh is the best option really now. It might just be corrupted somehow

If no success with that then we will replace

I have the same problem as matthew1809 with both of my Flick HAT and Flick Zero pHAT which I bought from ModMyPi.com. I tried them with 2 Raspberry Pi's Zero W and with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B - no detection of gestures, only hardware info's shown on the screen. Both boards have Revision Number 99.128.
shawaj in Issue#14 said that reflashing of the firmware is not recommended.
What shoud I do now? Return the sensor boards to the seller?
