"Exception: Device not found" - Linux #220

Closed advaitb closed 7 years ago

advaitb commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I have a problem similar to the one listed in #201 This is what my terminal shows while running example.py:

Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 754, in run self.target(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/home/advaitbalaji/Downloads/emokit-master/python/emokit/emotiv.py", line 229, in run self.initialize_reader() File "/home/advaitbalaji/Downloads/emokit-master/python/emokit/emotiv.py", line 133, in initialize_reader self.reader = EmotivReader() File "/home/advaitbalaji/Downloads/emokit-master/python/emokit/reader.py", line 58, in init__ self.setup_platform[self.platform]() File "/home/advaitbalaji/Downloads/emokit-master/python/emokit/reader.py", line 197, in setup_not_windows raise Exception("Device not found") Exception: Device not found

I tried running the latest commit, but it still shows the same error :( any idea why and how to solve this

It appears as though your dongle is not detected.

Ensure that you have all of the requirements installed and that your light is flashing on the dongle.

Hint- Type sudo python example.py

Posting this here for future reference for me as well as I probably will forget.

If you're still having a problem after using sudo, which I don't think is required, but maybe. Please open a new issue. If your serial number begins with UD2016 or similar your device is not going to work properly. Reference issue #229 in that instance.
