Could you please provide a ful working example?

Thanks

I am getting the following error when running the weather example. I did not modify any code in the examples. I am running this on a raspberry pi zero w.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./weather.py", line 104, in <module>
    icon_image = Image.open(f)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2779, in open
    prefix = fp.read(16)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/codecs.py", line 322, in decode
    (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x89 in position 0: invalid start byte

My system configuration (output of uname -a) is:

Linux raspberrypi 4.19.66+ #1253 Thu Aug 15 11:37:30 BST 2019 armv6l GNU/Linux

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? Currently I commented out all the code for processing the icons.

Some libraries have install.sh endpoints that try to install examples. They use a confirmation and require a keypress to continue, which stalls the auto installer.

We need a --force argument added to install.sh across the board to fix this.

Hi, I tried to run the example codes of the BME680 (read-all.py) and MLX90640 (hotspot.cpp) together in parallel on the raspberry pi, but both crashes upon attempting to run them simultaneously.

The error shown on the read-all.py script is this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "read-all.py", line 58, in
if sensor.get_sensor_data():
File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/bme680/init.py", line 264, in get_sensor_data

File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/bme680/init.py", line 319, in _get_regs
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error

From what I'm aware, they're on different i2c addresses, with the MLX90640 at 0x33 and BME680 at 0x76.

Does anyone know how this issue can be resolved?

Thank you

Occasional traceback in weather example

My best guess is that perhaps get_coords() or the requests.get() may occasionally fail. Perhaps some try exception handling around these is needed?

This is a feature request.

I like being able to install all requirements remotely via something that can do parallel ssh (ansible in my case). The current install process seems to require that you do this step manually:

pi@raspberrypi:~/breakout-garden-master $ sudo ./install.sh help
/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)

Breakout Garden: Installer. (3 breakout(s) found)

vl53l1x time of flight:         Required
ltr559 proximity sensor:        Required

Installing 2 module(s). Enter to continue (Ctrl+C to cancel)...

Would it be possible to add a flag to the script such that you just install everything? It is a bit of a bother that I need to manually run a script on every device (I've got 8 in my house) whenever I add a sensor.

The ltr559 sensor gives an install error. Figured I'd let people know about it here.

pi@raspberrypi:~/breakout-garden-master $ sudo ./install.sh
Breakout Garden requires I2C. We've enabled it for you.

Retrying doesn't help.

I had problems with PIL and the seismometer example, solved by installing python-imaging and libopenjp2-7-dev

Hi

I´ve changed the weather example to use bm280, instead of bme680.
Yet I have an error when opening the icons file:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "weather_bmp280.py", line 100, in
icon_image = Image.open(f)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2319, in open
prefix = fp.read(16)
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/codecs.py", line 321, in decode
(result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x89 in position 0: invalid start byte

Is there something wrong with the files?
Is there any optional parameter on the objects used that I can change?

Thanks

For the weather.py example, what's the new suggested, recommended source API?

I ask as it appears the Dark Sky API is no longer available.

Thank you.

The Breakout Garden installer detected my PA101D GPS module as a UV and UVA sensor. It might be worth checking the I2C addresses of both.

breakouts.config shows I2C address of 0x10 is: veml6075-python: veml6075: veml6075 uva and uvb sensor

However this is now the address printed on my PA1010D GPS module, which isn't listed in the breakouts.config.

Hello :)
==SETUP==

• Brand new Raspbian from latest image installed fresh this morning.
• Raspberry Pi 3B
• SSH in to Pi from Linux machine over Ethernet

==END==

• git clone the repo, attached five breakout boards BME680, OLED, LSM303D, BH1745, VL53L1X
• Ran the installer as per instructions.
• I2C not enabled via installer (typically Pimoroni boards have an I2C step in the installer)
• Ran sudo raspi-config and enabled I2C, rebooted for good luck.
• Ran the installer again

• Received the above error message (GIF image)
• Removed four breakouts and repeated install.
• Installer detected one board and installed.
• Repeated the install process, adding a new breakout each time.
• Worked each time/
• All working.

Hope this makes sense :)

Hi
I´ve tried to adapt the seismograph.py example but with bmp280 sensor to draw the graphic.

On the first iteration of the main loop the code throws an exception in this line
draw.line([(128, 64), (96, 64 + points[-1])], fill="white")
The array is empty so the call to the last element fails.
Is there something missing in the code sample?

I´m using a raspberry pi zero.

Thanks

Occasional traceback in the get_weather function

I'd guess that try/except is needed round the call to request.get() call in the case in intermittent network error and also a check performed that soup.findall() that it actually finds something that can then be split.

I'm getting this when weather.py is used as is.

This Pimoroni Breakout Garden example requires a
BME680 Environmental Sensor Breakout and a 1.12" OLED Breakout.

This example turns your Breakout Garden into a mini weather display
combining indoor temperature and pressure data with a weather icon
indicating the current local weather conditions.

Press Ctrl+C a couple times to exit.

Can't install the breakout-garden-master with sudo ./install.sh. Because then there is an Error with the mlx90640 thermal camera.

Errors occured during install. For more info see /tmp/breakout-garden/install.log

Can't install the breakout-garden-master. After sudo ./install.sh there is an Error

On a fresh install of Raspbian lite I get this error when trying to run install.sh:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "autodetect.py", line 2, in <module>
    import smbus
ImportError: No module named smbus
Sorry, I couldn't find any breakouts!

Installing the Python smbus module fixed this issue but I thought it might be useful to document that here.
