[SOLVED] No SPI response (stacking two BrickPis)

[lofriedr]

Hello Folks,

I have a setup where I stacked two BrickPi3 on top on my RaspberryPi 3, now the problem is when I try to give the BPs their adresses, the console prompts " No SPI response"

Even when I use only one BP, the assignation of the adresses doens’t work and it prompts me the same error.

Anybody else experienced this ?

Firmware on both of them is 1.4.6

Thanks in advance,

Leroy

Hi @lofriedr,

Even though you figured this out, but for the sake of other readers or even for you, here’s a post on setting different addresses for the BrickPi:

BrickPi3 can now be stacked!

The BrickPi3 hardware was designed to be stack-able, but initially the firmware and drivers didn’t support changing the address to allow for multiple BrickPi3s. As of firmware version 1.4.0, the BrickPi3 Firmware (and updated Python drivers) allows you to change the BrickPi3 address, so BrickPi3s can be stacked! The updated software and firmware is available now. To update the BrickPi3 firmware, only one BrickPi3 can be connected at a time. You can run the DI Update on Raspbian for Robots, or o…

I’m going to put a timer on this thread now.

Thank you!
