GrovePi not recognized[SOLVED]

Hi,
I am new to the GrovePi. Just connected it to my Pi3 Model B and installed the Raspian for Robots on the CD. After boot the I2C test failed.

Here is the log. Any help is appreciated.
Best regards
Roland

Wow thanks for the debug info!!! It helps alot.

I think the issue is the test has a bug. Have you tried plugging in some sensors and programming it? It will probably work. Again that was just a python bug. Happens all the time with these example scripts… I speak from expierence.

Hi @roland.petrasch,

It looks like the firmware isn’t working, can you do firmware update to GrovePi by running this script. To run this script navigate to Firmware directory in your Pi by using the command cd /home/pi/Desktop/GrovePi/Firmware/ and then type sudo bash firmware_update.sh.

Try your code after the firmware update.

Please let us know if this helps,
-Shoban

Hi @Shoban,
thank you. Yes, this fixed it. I should have thought of that myself.
Great support. Very fast and effective.
I think I will recommend the Starter Kit for our IoT seminar.
Regards
Roland

Hi @roland.petrasch,

Glad that we were able to help you. Thanks a lot for your feedback.
