Issue with bcm2835 module #2

Closed renderit closed 2 years ago

renderit commented 7 years ago

Hi, on checking/working with the High-Precision AD/DA Board on a raspberry pi 3. When I run the example.py, I'm getting the following error:

PiPyADC: Example file for class ADS1256 in module pipyadc:

ADS1256 cycling through eight input channels.

Hardware: Waveshare ADS1256 board interfaced to the Raspberry Pi 3

If this is a genuine Raspberry Pi then please report this
to projects@drogon.net. If this is not a Raspberry Pi then you
are on your own as wiringPi is designed to support the
Raspberry Pi ONLY.

Hi, this is an incompatibility with the latest kernel upgrade and the wiringpi library.

This works for me: sudo rpi-update 52241088c1da59a359110d39c1875cda56496764

From: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16852

Do not forget to upgrade the wiringpi python library if you upgrade other parts of the system: sudo pip install -U wiringpi

In a few days, I guess they will fix the issue with the latest Linux kernel for the raspi and wiringpi. I will maybe look into it in a few days.

Please let me know if this helped!
