[SOLVED] Unsolvable GrovePi python issue

My grovepi was installed following the official guideline and run well in the beginning. However, after the script running for a while, error raised: “TypeError: ‘int’ object has no attribute ‘getitem’”. And this error will continue until reboot. I try almost all the solutions in Internet to solve this problem for weeks and none of those work. Here is the log after running all_tests.sh.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi @tanyongnan1992,

The logs look good and I’m wondering where and how had you encountered this error?

Can you show us the code you’ve had issues with and that threw this error? Also, telling us what sensors/actuators you’ve got connected to it might help us debug it.

And it’s kind of worrying to hear that you’ve had this issue for weeks and yet, you haven’t got a resolution on it. Maybe we can help you.

Thank you!

Oh, after downgrading to kernal version 4.4.5, the problem seems to be solved.
Also I should test for days to check if the problem will not arise again.
However, thanks a lot for your reply!

Hi @tanyongnan1992,

You shouldn’t have needed that version of the kernel (v4.4.50-v7) for the GrovePi. That’s weird, because when I we did tests on it a while ago, it did work with newer versions of the kernel.

Can you tell us if you had the last version of the GrovePi installed on your Pi? And what script had you tried to run?

Thankfully, this works for you, so it ain’t like there’s no solution to it.

Thank you!

Hi @RobertLucian,
I installed the GrovePi on the latest version of raspbian in the beginning. However, the error will arise after the script running for around 1 and half hour. My script just read the grove light and motion sensor by analogRead and digitalRead. And I had updated the GrovePi firmware version after installing the GrovePi.
I found someone has similar problem with me and he solved the it by downgrade: [SOLVED] TypeError: 'int' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
So I tried and the problem seems to be solved by now.
Thanks for your kindly help!

Hi @tanyongnan1992,

Thanks a lot for telling this.
Anyway, we’ll be taking a look at this issue later as the last time we did the testing, there was no need in downgrading the kernel.

I’m now setting a timer on this post as it can be considered solved.

Thank you!
