IREventListener example not working #20

Closed johndavidroe closed 7 years ago

johndavidroe commented 7 years ago

If I try the IR receiver example on page 6 of documentation release 2.0.7 (I have modified lircrc at //etc/lirc , didn't understand $ cat ~/.lircrc)

When I get to the line

listener = pifacecad.IREventListener(prog="pifacecadexample")

I get an error message that I think is to do with multiprocessing but I am new to Python. I have put the whole error message in a post under the Python section of the Rapberry Pi forum

I found the solution to this in the past issues which fixed the problem with this line of the example. However I still couldn't get the example to work as the line >>> listener.activate() caused python to crash
