Using the GrovePi+ on a Raspberry PI 3, with the latest build of Stretch Raspbian
I installed the Dexter drivers using sudo curl -kL dexterindustries.com/update_grovepi | bash from the guide. It installed without errors. I rebooted.
I did use the raspi-config menu to enable i2C. I turned off everything else in that menu except SSH.
The python script to blink an LED works fine. When using analogRead(pin) I get the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "grove_temperature_sensor.py", line 57, in <module>
temp = grovepi.temp(sensor,'1.1')
File "/home/pi/Dexter/GrovePi/Software/Python/grovepi.py", line 245, in temp
a = analogRead(pin)
File "/home/pi/Dexter/GrovePi/Software/Python/grovepi.py", line 227, in analogRead
return number[1] * 256 + number[2]
TypeError: 'int' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
i2C matrix thing:
sudo i2cdetect -y 1

I attempted to reinstallt he script. Same issue. My hardware configuration appears correct - the pins seated well from pi to GrovePi+. I bought the official grove case to protect it.
I am using this whole set up as part of the GE Predix Machine Edge tutorial: https://www.predix.io/resources/tutorials/journey.html#1750
Predix does seem to read to the Grove sensors, but it sends zeroes for all the values. I need to eliminate that this is a GrovePi/Hardware issue before troubleshooting on the Predix side. However, the fact that I can’t call the Grove sample Python scripts is a smoking gun that there’s an issue communicating to the sensors, or something.
If I’m missing critical info to solve, please let me know, but I’ve Googled extensively, and now am requesting help.
Thank you so much!
Hi @3leftturns,
I think you don’t have the latest firmware on your GrovePi.
Consequently, I would burn the firmware on the GrovePi, so please, follow these instructions:
cd /home/pi/Dexter/GrovePi/Firmware
bash firmware_update.sh # follow the instructions in here
Running the firmware_update.sh command should give you the following console output:
Updating the GrovePi firmware
=============================
http://www.dexterindustries.com/grovepi
Run this program:
sudo ./firmware_update.sh
=============================
Do you want to update the firmware? [y,n]y
Make sure that GrovePi is connected to Raspberry Pi
Firmware found
Press any key to start firmware update
