pyRF24 problem with RP 3 B+ #485

Closed icemanx closed 4 years ago

icemanx commented 5 years ago

Hi,

Currently I am trying to run pingpair_dyn.py on Raspberry Pi 3 B+. I compiled libraries and I am able to run gettingstarted example. However, I'd like to use Python wrapper. I'm running the code with $sudo ./pingpair_dyn.py but program stucks at radio.begin(). No errors shown in the terminal.

I am using bcm2835 drivers.

If you can guide me I'll be very glad. Thanks!

Im having this same issue, id love to get some feedback as well

Can you confirm SPI actually works on your rPi?

icemanx commented 5 years ago

Yes I can confirm SPI is working. I am tested the example gettingstarted.cpp between Raspberry and Arduino.

This fixed my issues with Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and Raspberry Pi 4 In lib_nrf24.py in function:

def begin(self, csn_pin ... after self.spidev.openadd:

self.spidev.max_speed_hz = 4000000

I have the same issue right now. Have an Raspberry Pi 1 rev2 model B the cpp example works with sudo ./gettingstarted the pingpair_dyn.py example shows following output:

pyRF24/examples/pingpair_dyn/
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pingpair_dyn.py", line 67, in <module>
    radio.begin()
RuntimeError: unidentifiable C++ exception

Update: got it working with sudo python3 pingpair_dyn.py
