PiFace connection

cclegends

Hi E14 community, I just received my PiFace Control and Display. After I connect them to the GPIO pins and nothing appears / pops up. I've done install the library as well as module. Upon running sys info.py, the errors are :

 

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).

 

 

Tried to search more information about this, other forums shows that the kernel update makes this display are not able to work. Is there any workaround to make this display working? Thanks.

    Try running through what is listed at the following.  This should verify the config.

    http://piface.github.io/pifacecad/installation.html#sysinfo-service

     

    Have a look-see at the troubleshooting suggestion posted at the following

    https://github.com/piface/pifacecad/issues/24

     

    I vaguely remember having to do this.
