can't get Pi Scan to start #8

Hi there. Downloaded most recent mouse version today (Sept 19, 2017). When booting up the Pi 3 model B I get an error screen that keeps looping.

File "main.py", line 14, in import wiringpi ImportError: No module named wiringpi

It says it saved a log to /home/pi/.kivy/logs but I don't see that log file

The same error happens whether I have a keyboard and mouse plugged in or not. img_20170919_112852686

It looks like you downloaded the 'mouse' version. I will rebuild that image and upload it with a fix.

In the mean time, a workaround is to download the 'touch' version. I know that people have used that successfully. On the 'touch' version, the mouse cursor doesn't show. But you can control Pi Scan entirely with a keyboard.

Alternatively, the only difference between these two images is supposed to be the file .kivy/config.ini. If the mouse version is broken at this time, then you can make your own mouse version from the touch version:

(1) Download and run the 'touch' version

(2) Alt-F2 to switch to another console.

(3) Log in username 'pi' password 'raspberry'

sudo mount -o remount,rw / sudo nano /home_org/pi/.kivy/config.ini

(4) Modify the config.ini to match the mouse config file:

https://github.com/Tenrec-Builders/pi-scan/blob/master/config/mouse.ini

(5) Reboot pi: sudo reboot

That should permanently change the touch image into a mouse image.

In the mean time, I'll be building a new image and testing it out. Sorry about the mistake.

Thanks, Jonathon. After following your instructions above it now boots. Thanks!

Got the same issue. Would be great if the mouse version would be updated and linked on the home page.

A new and fixed build has been uploaded. I apologize for the delay. Let me know if it works.
