Issue with Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

See original GitHub issue

I have installed spotipi on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and it works great.

Today I tried running it on a new Raspberry Pi Zero 2W to no avail. I have blacklisted the blacklist snd_bcm2835 audio driver since that seems to be necessary.

After the install process, I went to the flask-web app to see if the application was running because I could not see any matrix output. When I try to change the brightness, I get a server error which seems weird.

So two issues:

  1. No output on matrix with same install and settings (client_id, secret, .cache-file, etc) as on the Pi 3B+.
  2. The web app throws error messages when trying to change the brightness, which seems to suggest an underlying issue maybe.

Any advice on how to proceed from here?

I thought I send you a picture of my 128 x 128 matrix (4 Hub75) and RPi4 in a frame. I really like how it turned. It also works with Rpi zero 2 W but there was some flickering. That’s why I’ve decided to go with a Rpi 4.

This looks amazing. I absolutely love the frame you made for it. This makes me want to get a 3d printer now. Great work!
