[SOLVED] Distance Sensor not working

[sairahul5223]

I have motors for wheels and distance sensor connected to the GoPiGo3 board. The motors are working fine but the code which involves distance sensor throws an error as shown below:
Distance Sensor init: [Errno 2] Opening I2C device: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):

I got the error solved. I2C was not enabled.

It looks like the I2C bus has not been enabled.

Try updating DI_Sensors with this: curl -kL dexterindustries.com/update_sensors | bash

Probably unrelated to the issue above, but it looks like your power supply is inadequate. Whether running on USB power (as the case here) or battery power, the 5v voltage should be a little higher than 4.797. It should be at least 4.85v, but ideally 4.95v - 5.1v. I doubt it’s low enough to cause problems, but it’s probably pretty close.

Thanks for the response
