Could not open HID device, Debian Buster and Raspberry Pi Model B #8

Closed rontus closed 4 years ago

rontus commented 4 years ago

Trying the program immediately hangs to this error: "StreamDeck.Transport.Transport.TransportError: Could not open HID device."

I have installed libhidapi-libusb0 from apt to get it even that far.

Any pointers for me to fix this or is it something with the software?

Figured it out, it's working now. I needed to run the program with sudo (and install the pip3 packages with sudo too.).

Now will just face the challenges of figuring out the configuration.yaml to my preferences ;)
