Raspberyy 3 and PiFaceCad 2 error: NoPiFaceCADDetectedError

Former Member

Hey all

 

I recently got my raspberry 3 and piface control and display 2 and trying to work through the provided examples.

I am following the following instructions on how to setup my pifacecad:

PiFace – Setting up PiFace Control And Display – Runnning PiFace Control And Display sysinfo

 

Unfortunately when i try to run the python3 sysinfo.py example i get the following error:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "sysinfo.py", line 61, in <module>

    cad = pifacecad.PiFaceCAD()

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pifacecad/core.py", line 50, in __init__

    self.init_board()

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pifacecad/core.py", line 80, in init_board

    h=self.hardware_addr, b=self.bus, c=self.chip_select))

pifacecad.core.NoPiFaceCADDetectedError: No PiFace Control and Display board detected (hardware_addr=0, bus=0, chip_select=1).

 

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Could it be a faulty pifacecad board?
