What does your pi = line contain?

from pigpio.

pi=pigpio.pi()

from pigpio.

After the pi=pigpio.pi() line add the following

print(pi.connected)

If it's False you have not connected to the pigpio daemon. If you are running the script on the local Pi the most likely reason is you don't have a loopback device defined in /etc/network/interfaces.

I read in other closed discussion about the loopback, could you please explain me what it should be and what it should not be? I could not understand it well.

from pigpio.

This is how my /etc/network/interfaces look like:

auto wlan0

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

from pigpio.

Try adding auto lo.

The loopback network interface

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

wow, it works now :-) Thanks joan

Hi Joan,

I am getting an error:
Nonetype object has no attribute send

Could you please help me debug it?

Thanks in advance

from pigpio.

You need to give all relevant information.

Hi. I'm having similar issue on arm64 not sure it's relevant.
installed pigpio, it fails to start:
/etc/init.d/pigpiod start
/usr/bin/pigpiod: error while loading shared libraries: ligpigpio.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

in python3 interpreter "import pigpio" works but then "pi = pigpio.pi() fails with Can't connect to localhost(8888)

I have added auto lo to /etc/network/interfaces

any tips would be great,

cheers,

erg

I can't help with 64-bit issues as it's all a mystery to me. However I have just merged #284 which might possibly make a difference.
