Working with EVOK API for the first time

I've tried the steps on a blank new Raspbian image and encountered the same error while trying to install neuron-kernel:

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# apt-get install neuron-kernel
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 neuron-kernel : Depends: raspberrypi-kernel (= 1.20180919-1) but 1.20180924-1 is to be installed

Apologies, it looks like you will have to use

apt-get install unipi-kernel-modules-dkms

instead of

apt-get install neuron-kernel

this will install the module from source, rather than using a precompiled binary.

The rest of the instructions should work fine. At any rate - we should release a new version tomorrow which should have the bug fixed.

Hi Tomas, did you guys released the new UniPian image with the driver fix? If yes, I would like to test it with the OpenPLC driver.

Thanks!

Hi @thiagoralves,

Apologies for the late reply, I was on sick leave for a while.

It looks like we still haven't released the image, but I'll try poking the people who take care of it a bit. The package installation should now work, however.

Alright, thanks! I'll try the package installation on Raspbian and report back if I have any issues.
