Python script doesn't see the Go Direct device #25

Please help! I'm trying to connect one of our SpectroVis Plus devices to my RasPi for the upcoming lab, but the Python script says "number of usb devices found = 0". image

I did pip install godirect[USB] and added the udev rule. I checked, and the rule is in fact there (unless I have to make changes to the rule for it to work?) image

I connected and disconnected the device and tried all 4 USB ports, but no luck. I have Raspberry Pi 4, and it is updated to the latest version as of today (Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)). image

Is there anything else I can do? Thank you,

Elena

I am afraid that the SpectoVis Plus is not supported by the godirect-py module. It has a unique command set that makes it stand apart from all of the other Go Direct devices. We do not currently have a solution for this for Python or Raspberry Pi. We apologize that this was not clear in the documentation for these tools.

Thank you so much for your reply! Does this mean that Vernier Spectrometer also falls in the category of the devices that aren't supported? image

Yes, I am afraid so. We will get our documentation updated to avoid this confusion in the future. Thank you.

Thank you for clarifying that. Have a wonderful day!
