PowerBlock driver quick installation fails
-
Hi all,
I've ran into a problem I can't seem to figure out because of my novice knowledge of the raspberry pi. When I go to install the Power Block drivers following the instructions from the website here: https://github.com/petrockblog/PowerBlock#powerblock-driver using the quick installation method, I get an error message saying that it failed. I have Rasbian installed with retroPi installed as well. When the Pi boots, it goes to retro pi, then I have to manually get to the rasbian desktop through a port I created in the retro pi menu. Could this be the problem? Would I have to do a fresh install of either rasbian or retro pi so I only have one installed? Any help would be appreciated. Below is the terminal output:

It seems as if the installation script needs to be updated to accommodate for recent updates of the operating system.

@petrockblog thanks for your reply! When do you think you be able to get that update for the installation script committed?
-
@petrockblog I'm having the same problem.
-
I have just pushed the updated version of the driver to Github. The driver is now completely independent of wiringPi and only uses Linux sysfs.
-
@petrockblog Brillant works perfectly. Thanks for the hard work!
-
Glad to hear that!
-
Worked for me too! Thanks!
