Wiringpi & raspberry pi problem #6

Open alexandreesl opened 7 years ago

alexandreesl commented 7 years ago

Hi! Please, if you could help me, I am trying to use a KS0108 glcd display (model on this link: http://pdf.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheet_pdf/wstar/WG12864A.pdf), I used the same pinmap of your script of the countdown (glcd_countdown.py) but when I try to run that example it raises that exception about not connecting to the GPIO pins and asking for installing wiringpi. I have installed Gordon's wiringpi and Python's module on this link (https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi-Python), but the error still persists, please, can you help me? My Pi is a model B.

Thank you

I have managed to solve the problem, it was the module wiringpi2 which was missing. but now, every example I tested has a dependency for fonts on PIL that as I searched was discontinued. How can I workaround this, please? Thank you

Its called Pillow now. Install Pillow. But i think then you run into another error. Something with Microsoft fonts i think. You will have to Google that, since the Pi doesnt use Microsoft Fonts. You can still download them and have to agree to M$ eula.
