Hello @kylrth ,

I just added your configuration file 2131e932e5177085870482c47999837c348ed10a, and looking similar models I think that it will not work but I have some doubts. Can you test it and make me return?

Best regards, rsm

This is a headless machine. How can I set it up without a display?

rsm-gh commented 3 years ago

@kylrth, well, I guess that I need to code a feature for the installation without a display... can you open a new bug for that? I'll tag it as enhacement and I'll try to find some time to provide a fix or a work-around

Best regards

Thanks for making the install script work without a GUI. Here is the new output; it looks like my hardware is not supported:

@kylrth ,

There was a mistake on the computers configuration, it should work now,

Thank you! The ./setup script works now. Now when I try to run sudo akbl --off I get the following output:

The same occurs when I try to use the Python bindings.

A while ago I placed some tape between the contacts for some of the lights, in order to cut the power to them completely. Could this be the cause of the USBError?

rsm-gh commented 9 months ago

Hello @kylrth ,

To debug the software use the block testing window. It will tell you if there is any USBError,
