Hi all,
after receiving my kit today, I am desperately trying to get the software to work.
This is what I did:
Here is what the error is about:
import smbus
>>ImportError: No module named smbus
Any help really appreciated.
Regards Gunhawk
I’m not sure what the booklet tells you to do, as I don’t have it near me.
Here’s the webpage with up to date information on how to install on your own card
http://www.dexterindustries.com/GrovePi/get-started-with-the-grovepi/setting-software/
Point 6 shows the python-smbus being installed in the accompanying image.
Update:
I have retried the steps conducting a fresh install.
However, on my system the compilation of the sources failed.
Please find below the logfile of the installation (until system got rebooted)
Regards Gunhawk
Thanks for the log. It seems it dies in something related to Raspbian itself.
Did you run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
before attempting the GrovePi install?
Even a fresh card needs to do that step in order to catch up with the latest developments from Raspberry Pi.
Hi,
today I did a fresh install of Noobs Rasperian and make sure to do the updating/upgerading as suggested.
I did the clone of the GrovePi SW from github and installed into Desktop Folder as suggested. However, it still does not seem to function properly.
I tried out the do all Tests and here is the log:

Hello, and sorry you were left in the dark so long. I had to dig a bit for this one.
Can you make sure those lines are run on your pi?
cd /tmp
wget http://project-downloads.drogon.net/gertboard/avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/avrdude
cd /tmp
wget http://project-downloads.drogon.net/gertboard/setup.sh
chmod +x setup.sh
sudo ./setup.sh
There’s an issue with avrdude on your card. Hopefully this will fix it.
Also you said I did the clone of the GrovePi SW from github and installed into Desktop Folder as suggested.
No mention of running Desktop/Grovepi/Script/install.sh
I’m assuming you followed the steps from here: http://www.dexterindustries.com/GrovePi/get-started-with-the-grovepi/setting-software/ but I just want to make certain that you did.
Thanks
Cleo
Hi Gunhawk,
Do let us know if the Cleo’s steps help you solve the problem. If it still does not work, it would be great if you could run our image on another SD card. Here are the instructions to install the Raspbian for Robots image: http://www.dexterindustries.com/howto/install-raspbian-for-robots-image-on-an-sd-card/. That image comes with a utility which let’s us troubleshoot the GrovePi better. Can you run the troubleshooting script and upload the log on the forums by following the guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMadpIEYq5o.

Hi,
tried so but the deb archive isn’t even working - see below:
pi@dex:/tmp sudo dpkg -i avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb dpkg-deb: error: `avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb' is not a debian format archive dpkg: error processing archive avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb (--install): subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb pi@dex:/tmp
Correction - did it again by copy pasting and now it seem to work
udo ./setup.sh
Setting up Raspberry Pi to make it work with the Gertboard
and the ATmega chip on-board with the Arduino IDE.
Checking …
Avrdude: OK
Arduino IDE: OK
Fetching files:
boards.txt
programmers.txt
avrsetup
Replacing/updating files:
inittab: cp: cannot stat ‘inittab’: No such file or directory
./setup.sh: line 61: inittab: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat ‘/tmp/inittab.1663’: No such file or directory
OK
cmdline.txt: Backup exists: not overwriting
boards.txt: Backup of boards.txt exists, not overwriting
programmers.txt: Backup of programmers.txt exists, not overwriting
All Done.
Check and reboot now to apply changes.
pi@dex:/tmp $ sudo ./setup.sh
UPDATE:
Now that I ran the lines provided by CleoQC, I reran the all_tests.sh and this is the outcome.
Bottom line is that the AVRDUDE is still not working!?
Please help - could it be just a Hardware error? I do have another Kit I haven’t unboxed yet (and don’t actually want to)

Hi Gunhawk, it’s still not clear from the above: have you tried to run a GrovePi Firmware update? We have two videos that can show you how to do that:
Update GrovePi Firmware With the Command Line - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfTWTmW_tDk&list=PLGXEJ4Ye1qCPqsjkJ0nxbxq-hg2VX4u7o&index=12
Update the GrovePi Firmware Using Raspbian for Robots - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUVvU4YcTvo&list=PLGXEJ4Ye1qCPqsjkJ0nxbxq-hg2VX4u7o&index=11
If you run the Firmware Update, what do you get back?
