"Illegal instruction" error when importing max7219

iglennon-qualys commented 2 years ago

Firstly thanks for taking the time to file an issue. Chances are, you are not the first (and wont be the last) to have this problem: By creating a public issue, others can browse and solve their issues - possibly in a self-service style - just by reading the discourse on your ticket, so try and be clear in the describing the problem you have.

Secondly, github issues are not just for raising problems - if you have a question, a documentation fix, or suggested improvement, please get in touch.

Lastly, there are a number of related LUMA projects - please check to make sure to create the issue in the right GitHub repository.

Type of Raspberry Pi

Not all Pi's are equal at the hardware level - what works on one, might not work on the next. This library has been tested on every variant except the RPi3.

PiZero W

Linux Kernel version

Paste in the output from running uname -a at the command line on your Pi.

Linux raspberrypi 5.10.63+ #1459 Wed Oct 6 16:40:27 BST 2021 armv6l GNU/Linux

Expected behaviour

Add a few concise notes about what you are expecting to happen. Even better, if you paste in a code sample that demonstrates what you want to achieve.

I would expect python3 to not terminate when I run the command

from luma.led_matrix.device import max7219

Actual behaviour

Now add some details about what actually happened - if there is an unexpected crash, paste in the traceback info.

This is a direct copy/paste of the behaviour

pi@raspberrypi:~/luma.led_matrix/examples $ python3
Python 3.9.2 (default, Mar 12 2021, 04:06:34)
[GCC 10.2.1 20210110] on linux

>>> from luma.led_matrix.device import max7219

what version of luma.led_matrix is this? and did you compile python from source? can you paste output of pip3 list? And what's the output if you try to from PIL import Image?

iglennon-qualys commented 2 years ago

I'm going to close this, I opened it under the wrong Github account. I will open another issue and paste the output requested
