DFR0592 Pi5

The Pi5 is not in the compatibility list but I'm trying anyway. 

The hat is not being shown in the i2C detect list where other peripherals are. 

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions ?

I've tried both but no luck

I do have an oled connected to the same i2C bus as the motor driver and I see that with the i2Cdetect -y 1, and able to talk to it, but never seen the motor driver yet

Run:

The Pi5 (like Pi4) typically uses bus 1 (/dev/i2c-1) for GPIO/I²C unless you’ve remapped it.

Ensure you're checking the correct bus and that you're not using the camera/display buses accidentally (bus 0).

 

i2cdetect -y 0

i2cdetect -y 1
