PiFace Problems

keithtowns
keithtowns over 12 years ago

Am I missing something? I have two PiFace and 3 Raspberry Pi. I followed the instructions the get the PiFace working but have yet to succeed. I have tried the image provided as well as updating an existing Raspian image to no avail. I have also tried all my Pi and the two PiFace in all the combinations. I almost gave up but also tried a different power supply and SD card. None of the above got the emulator to switch on the LEDs and I could not do it through Python. Any ideas? I've spent hours on this, please tell me I've missed something. Thanks.

    The PiFace Digital 2 documentation is almost non-existent. You can't install it using the instructions. It does not work with Raspbian Stretch and you can't download earlier versions of raspbian. Element14 should address this problem or STOP SELLING PRODUCTS THAT DO NOT WORK!

     

    Your best bet is buy something else that actually works. The support from Element14 is terrible and they should be ashamed of themselves.

    Are you sure about that second part ?
