Error when importing: line 97 _calibration unexpected keyword 'signed'

[stlentz]

Module is not working on beagle board black. Since the line reporting the error is a recent addition to the code, can you check that it is correct?

debian@beaglebone:/var/lib/cloud9$ python3 Python 3.7.3 (default, Dec 20 2019, 18:57:59) [GCC 8.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

make sure you have upgraded all pip packages

OK, fixed. Adafruit_ds3231.py was installed, but not Adafruit_ds3231.mpy. Real PITA to move that file into the right place (/usr/local/bin/python3.7/dist-packages), the online guides are not really adequate, I used scp from my Mac. Would be nice if PIP3 installed the files.

I do appreciate the support but I’m sort of worried how much longer people will bother with beagle board or will everyone just move to RPi.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

you dont need or use the .mpy files on linux they are used for circuitpython boards only, something else was likely amiss with the install.
