I just setup a fresh R-Pi and downloaded this repo and downloaded dependencies. When I launch it breaks.

Any ideas?

It sure is! It looks like I will need to rewrite this package to support Python 3 which is suitable for Noetic. This will be an undertaking and a half.

Cheers.

I reverted to using 18.04 on everything so this now works by USB serial only.
