I2C Error with pico_status_hv3.0.py #14

Closed cowsay652 closed 6 years ago

cowsay652 commented 6 years ago

Hi, I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 and the UPS PIco HV3.0B Stack 450. I have installed everything according to your instructions, but when I run pico_status_hv3.0.py from here, it gives me this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pico_status_hv3.0.py", line 186, in <module>
    print " ","UPS PIco Firmware.....:",fw_version()
  File "pico_status_hv3.0.py", line 29, in fw_version
    data = i2c.read_byte_data(0x69, 0x26)
IOError: [Errno 121] Remote I/O error

The UPS does work - the lights come on correctly, fssd works, and when I take the main power out, the battery kicks in. I am using Python 2.7, and have enabled I2C, so I'm not quite sure what the problem is...

Any help would be appreciated :)

Never mind - it works now. I think that like the GPIO pins weren't making contact.
