Install script does not install all required python libraries
Ran the install script. Could not run examples out of the box, even though that was the next step in the tutorial. I needed to manual install bme280.
Still need to locate ltr559 and ads1015, wherever they are.
There is nothing about this in the tutorial and the implication is that the library should be complete. Get it together and fix this, please or at least make a note of this in your tutorial. Not everyone has the time or skills to go looking for the required libraries. Even those who are skilled just want to install the libraries and use the hardware without having to hunt it down. It's aggravating.
Works fine on a fresh install of raspbian for me with one exception:
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/5.10.17+/modules.dep.bin' modprobe: FATAL: Module i2c-dev not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.17+
Just testing if sudo rpi-update fixes this.
pimoroni-bme280, ltr559 and ads1015 are all listed as dependencies, they should be installed automatically when the library is installed.
Note: don't run sudo rpi-update, the RPi kernel/modules/firmware gets updated with a regular sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade whereas rpi-update is just a means for installing (potentially very broken) pre-release versions.
Now added a new check-install.py to help diagnose these issues: https://github.com/pimoroni/enviroplus-python/blob/master/check-install.py
Run with:
python3 check-install.py
