I tested the hat against another RPI (3B) and it's working fine. I think the original RPI (4B) that I used was defected.
I had another hat stacked (RPI CAN Hat shield) along with the MCC-152 and that might have messed up the SPI pins...
Thanks for the reply though.
BTW there was no error message and no response if I tried to open the device from the GUI program.
If I tried to run the python program I get a message "Error during opening port [...]".
