I was not able to get any of the samples to work, so I did a software update and then tried to do a firmware update which failed to connect.
I ran troubleshooting

Hi @tremblayst,
It looks like your I2C is not enabled on your Raspberry Pi.
Can you run sudo raspi-config, then go to Advanced Options and finally enable the I2C interface? Doing this should enable your I2C. You can then check the connectivity to your GrovePi by running the troubleshooter again.
As a side note, the reason you can’t communicate with the GrovePi is because the sudo curl -kL dexterindustries.com/update_grovepi | bash command hasn’t been run or because it didn’t get through all of it.
Please let us know if the provided solution helped you.
Thank you!
I enabled it in raspi-config under advanced options, but I am still getting the same error in the troubleshooter. Could there be something wrong with my pi3?
I also ran the grovepi update. It completed.

Welcome to GrovePi Installer.
Requirements:
1) Must be connected to the internet
2) This script must be run as root user
Steps:
1) Installs package dependencies:
- python-pip alternative Python package installer
- git fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
- libi2c-dev userspace I2C programming library development files
- python-serial pyserial - module encapsulating access for the serial port
- python-rpi.gpio Python GPIO module for Raspberry Pi
- i2c-tools This Python module allows SMBus access through the I2C /dev
- python-smbus Python bindings for Linux SMBus access through i2c-dev
- python3-smbus Python3 bindings for Linux SMBus access through i2c-dev
- arduino AVR development board IDE and built-in libraries
- minicom friendly menu driven serial communication program
- numpy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python
2) Clone, build wiringPi in GrovePi/Script and install it
3) Removes I2C and SPI from modprobe blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf
4) Adds I2C-dev, i2c-bcm2708 and spi-dev to /etc/modules
5) Installs gertboard avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb package
6) Runs gertboard setup
- configures avrdude
- downloads gertboard known boards and programmers
- replaces avrsetup with gertboards version
- in /etc/inittab comments out lines containing AMA0
- in /boot/cmdline.txt removes: console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1
- in /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino creates backup of boards.txt
- in /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino creates backup of programmers.txt
Special thanks to Joe Sanford at Tufts University. This script was derived from his work. Thank you Joe!
Raspberry Pi wil reboot after completion.

Hi @tremblayst,
Okay, so after you ran the update (sudo curl -kL dexterindustries.com/update_grovepi | bash), you still weren’t being able to interface with your GrovePi? That’s a bit peculiar.
If it still doesn’t work for you, can you tell us:
-
If you’re using the Jessie or the Stretch distro?
-
What the command uname -a outputs?
-
What the i2cdetect -y 1 command ouputs?
Thank you!
Jessie
