evok stopped working

tja

hi all,

i installed UniPian-Neuron-OS-2018-01-16.img.zip for my L203.
the web if basically worked back then.
i added some software (java, openhab ...) and now i try to develop a openhab binding for evok - only to discover that it stopped working.

i checked the posts about my error ( ... File "/opt/evok/neuron.py", line 217, in scan_boards ... AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'do_scan' ) but for my untrained eye it seems that my configuration is correct.

what did i miss ?

Have you installed pigpio by any chance? Some of the GPIOs are used for SPI interrupts, which could cause the error you are seeing. Basically the error indicates that the internal SPI bus cannot see the boards it expects on it.

If you have the option then it might be worth it to try a second backup card with a clean image, just to establish that the problem isn't in the hardware itself. (as this exact error can also be caused by overloading/shorting out the STM coprocessors)

hi thomas,

thx for answering.

i think that maybe a subsequent softwareupdate was the cause.

but i just started over with a clean noobs/raspbian, updated all packages and installed evok and then openhab and in the moment all works fine and at the same time.

i hope the problem will not arise again and i can happily start playing with openhab and evok.
next time i will have a spare sd lying around so i can backup the erroneous to analyse the causes.

wbr,tja...

(edit)
PS: nah i didnt install pigpio. must have been some other cause.
