Hi,
After running the configuration and creating the JSON file, I get the following error on running SGS2.pyy. Any help most appreciated.
sudo python3 SGS2.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "SGS2.py", line 43, in <module>
import pixelDriver
File "/home/pi/SwitchDoc/SDL_Pi_SmartGardenSystem2/pixelDriver.py", line 28, in <module>
LED_STRIP = ws.SK6812_STRIP_RGBW
NameError: name 'ws' is not defined
Kind regards,
Colin

Following on from more tests, and researching on the internet this is how I overcame this issue :
sudo pip3 install rpi_ws281x adafruit-circuitpython-neopixel
sudo python3 -m pip install --force-reinstall adafruit-blinka
Then i replaced "from neopixel import *" with "from rpi_ws281x import *" in the pixelDriver.py on line 13.
i also had to comment out line 235 "/bin/bash: tx: command not found" in the same file not sure why this is here ?
Kind regards,
Colin

Update again. So removed adafruit_circuitpython_neopixe using sudo pip3 uninstall adafruit-circuitpython-neopixel and followed this for the NeoPixel drivers fromSDL. forum.switchdoc.com/thread/581/bad-link-pi-driversYahoooo :-) No more errors. Now time to play and see if the operating manual suggested configuration will work :-) Will try and do a full reinstall later in the week to see if my insctructions are complete |

Congratulations! I assume you were using your own SD Card installation? We don't have this problem on our image.

Well I started out with yours. But the Raspberry PI 4 , for some reason required a firmware load, so I had to reformat the card.
Now all is working and I have listed the following software on Buster. If interested, I can list here all the apt-get install and pip3 install septs followed.
Now software is operational - I can think about boxing it up :- )
Cheers,
Colin

That would absolutely useful for everybody here.
Not sure why a firmware load would require a reformatting of the SDCard. I've done that several times on multiple Pi4B boards.

I just followed the instructions from Raspberry using the Raspberry Pi imager App -- it reformats the SD Card which simply allow the Pi4 to reload its boot sw. After sudo apt-get -y update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade Note I placed all the SDL software in a directory called SwitchDoc :-) - sudo apt-get clean - sudo apt-get autoremove - sudo apt-get install build-essential python3 python3-pip python3-dev python3-smbus git python3-apscheduler - sudo apt-get install pigpio python3-pigpio i2c-tools - sudo apt-get install mariadb-server - sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clients - sudo apt-get install python-imaging-tk libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms1-dev libopenjp2-7 libtiff5sudo mysql_secure_installation - sudo apt-get install scons swig - sudo rasps-config to enable I2C - sudo i2cdetect -y 1 - sudo pip3 install --upgrade setuptools pip - sudo pip3 install setuptools --upgrade - sudo pip3 install i2cdevice - sudo pip3 install apscheduler adafruit-blinka picamera - sudo pip3 install mysqlclient paho-mqtt pillow - sudo pip3 install dash dash-bootstrap-components plotly remi pandas dash_daq - - mkdir SwitchDoc - cd SwitcDoc - git clone github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO.git- cd Adafruit_Python_GPIO - sudo python3 setup.py install - cd ~/SwitchDoc - git clone github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_Pi_8PixelStrip.git- cd SDL_Pi_8PixelStrip - scons - cd python - sudo python3 ./setup.py build - sudo python3 ./setup.py install - git clone github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_Pi_SmartGardenSystem2- cd ~/SwitchDoc - cd SDL_Pi_SmartGardenSystem2 - sudo mysql -u root < SmartGardenSystem.sql - sudo python3 SGSConfigure.py - sudo python3 SSG2.py For this that are interested I then setup a systemd service and an rsyslog configuration file to send all messages to /var/log/smartgarden.log |

This is a great report! This should help people that are trying to build their own image.
Do you mind if I put this in the SGS2 README.md file for people?

Please, of course you can reuse. Suggest the last two steps be changed to reflect you test and operational guide
Also I think there is a type on the raspi-config line.

Hi,
thank you very much frenchie for your report,it is so helpful!
I followed the instructions but had some issues with installing the following packages/modules:
python-imaging-tk
liblcms1-dev
ibtiff5sudo
The modules could not be found.
Later on I did have some issues with an imported module "colour" (in the skyCamera file) that was not found when I started the SG3 program file. I read that liblcms1-dev is a header for color management, so I traced the problem back to not being able to install this module.
I think I solved the problem with python-imaging-tk by installing it that way:
sudo apt-get install python3-pil.imagetk
I did not install libtiff5sudo but libtiff5, which worked. I have to idea what this module does and if that is a problem.
I am relatively new to working with raspberry pi and I absolutely love the smart garden project. It would be great if I was able to get to run it on my own. It would be great to get some support.
Best regards,
Patrizia
