Probably because it's using `RPi.GPIO`'s soft PWM to brightness control the LEDs. That - I believe - just uses a loop under the hood.

It's quite likely that the code is broken somehow. I can't recall if it tries to maintain some internal state (using pressed/released in much the same way as you mention)...

Looks like ST7735 has been correctly added as a dependency here for a while, but the underlying problem must be the lack of "PIL" or `python-imaging` and ST7735 appears to...

I don't have the time or expertise to support anything beyond Python at the moment- too many products, and just one me. Details of the pins are here- https://pinout.xyz/pinout/automation_hat_mini The...

I don't see any reason why not. The pinout is already there but a datasheet link and some examples of alternate libraries wouldn't go amiss.

Looks like I'd better get my skates on and allow installs on 64bit - https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-os-64-bit/

Thank you @mahood73 that's helpful. I'm starting to wonder if the OS check is all that much use, since "Debian/aarch64" is pretty generic. It might just need ripping out. I'm...

I have unceremoniously deleted all OS, arch and system checks from the installers- inserting a slightly louder warning about running only on a Raspberry Pi. Hopefully this will get us...

I think this was fixed in v0.4.1 - https://github.com/pimoroni/automation-hat/releases/tag/v0.4.1

I'll have to investigate this- I don't have a full mental picture of how the software/hardware interacts on Automation HAT. My suspicion is that the Automation HAT software is interfering...
