Problems when running python code on raspberry pi 4b
January 11, 2024, 21:53
I've been trying to connect a raspberry pi 4b to ads1115 for a few days now. I've never worked with this board before and I'm totally new to this. The wiring is correct from what I have seen on the internet, but when I download the library from the Adafruit ADS1X15 I get an error when running the code. I work with Python and operating system is Raspberry OS Lite. I have tested the board with Arduino and C++, it works without any problems. This is part of my thesis project and I would appreciate your help.
I will upload screenshots in 10 mins
Ping me when you've sent it
Ok
<@1063554880121348117>
Did you try what it said
yes and it cant find the package
apt update
tried and didn't work
apt update doesn't work?
yes
The command itself?
ops
it updated
but still can't find the library in python
Got it
What you're going to do
sudo apt install python3-full
python3 -m venv venv
Then in the venv directory
Search a "activate" file
And source it
okk
its just "activate"
without any format
right
Yeah
ok i found it
source activate
and what should i do with it cause i didn't understand 🥲
This
i did it
now i have (venv)
Now run the first command again
With the pip install
its downloading somethingg
Good
but why i have to use virtual enviro
Idk
The command said it
I've seen it on the internet but it sounded hard for me
Does it work now?
now i have another error
pip install that module
This again
run this "pip install adafruit_ads1x15" again?
Yeah
still the same
Lemme check rq
okk
<@257436237466566656> you installed the library
And it says that library isn't found?
yes
Then you should try opening a GitHub issue
Sorry that i can't help you
its okay
thanks a lot

I fixed it
Now it imports the library without problems
Could you share the "fix"!
If I'm honest with you, I have no idea how i solved it. I've read a lot of forums and saw that
sudo python3and
python3are somehow different commands. I know that sudo executes the command as root but this time was different. Also, i used venv.
Then I had problem with i2c because the 0x48 is always in use. And i found out that if i disable i2c and then enable it, i can use this address for my ADS1115.
Still looking for another solution but it works for now
