No module named 'gpiodevice' #58

Closed roger-richards closed 4 months ago

roger-richards commented 7 months ago

Using PiZeroW (I know, old but what I had..) Used following guide to install nodejs on PiZeroW: https://hassancorrigan.com/blog/install-nodejs-on-a-raspberry-pi-zero/ Installed Pimoroni software as documented on their site. Enabled I2C via sudo raspi-config

Tried to run output.py and generated error: No module named 'gpiod' googled and installed: sudo pip3 install smbus

same error: No module named 'gpiod' googled more and installed: sudo apt install libgpiod-dev python3-libgpiod different error: No module named 'gpiodevice' googled more and installed: sudo pip3 install ST7735 same error: No module named 'gpiodevice'

Any suggestions? I've searched throughly.

Oof, it might be that Automation HAT is relying on some libraries that have been updated, but which don't properly list their dependencies 😬

I should probably get around to updating Automation HAT itself.

Full details of why everything is a miserable nightmare right now: https://github.com/pimoroni/boilerplate-python/pull/13

And an ongoing progress report: https://github.com/pimoroni/boilerplate-python/issues/16

Hopefully things should be working better now that everything's updated and merged in!

Up-to-date installation instructions can be found here and here.

Closing this one for now.
