Error message in Sense HAT marble run code

matthew.scott7 over 10 years ago

Hi. I've been trying to run the Sense HAT marble run code for the Rasberry Pi https://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/sense-hat-marble-maze/

 

And I get this error:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sense_hat/sense_hat.py", line 734, in get_orientation
    return self.get_orientation_degrees()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sense_hat/sense_hat.py", line 727, in get_orientation_degrees
    orientation = self.get_orientation_radians()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sense_hat/sense_hat.py", line 706, in get_orientation_radians
    raw = self._get_raw_data('fusionPoseValid', 'fusionPose')
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sense_hat/sense_hat.py", line 688, in _get_raw_data
    if self._read_imu():
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sense_hat/sense_hat.py", line 669, in _read_imu
    self._init_imu()  # Ensure imu is initialised
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sense_hat/sense_hat.py", line 633, in _init_imu
    raise OSError('IMU Init Failed, please run as root / use sudo')
OSError: IMU Init Failed, please run as root / use sudo

 

Can someone help me debug?

    I'm launching the code within the IDLE 3 app within the X GUI (Rasperian NOOBS).

     

    Just adding sudo gives a error message, sudo undefined...
