Spirit Raspberry Pi Setup
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2018 2:04 pm
Hi,
Just finished following the instructions to setup the Pi, I came across two issues.
1) Installing the NeoPixel Code failed, reported pyhton.h file missing. After a bit of investigation on the Web I installed Python Dev then re ran the install of rpi_ws281x this the installed clean. I used following command to install Python Dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev
2) Setting up Virtual Env did not work to fix this I changed the line added to .bashrc file. I used the dir 'rover' NOT' roverbeta' in the command line. new line added was
source $HOME /rover/bin/activate
Health warning !!!! All of this is very new to me so not sure if actions taken are correct especially for issue 1 listed.
Hope this helps
