Raspberry Pi Me Shield library seems to be broken

#1

I have an MeBaseBoard and a Raspberry Pi connected via an Me Shield for Raspberry Pi. There was a time when this was working, but now that I am returning to finish the project, it seems that the example code doesn’t run anymore. The way that the code sets up the serial interface with the controller board seems to be incompatible with newer versions of Raspian. I don’t know what the precise problem is, but even if I I trim the example code all the way down to just:

from rpi-serial include *

It just hangs up on this one line.

If anyone has a workaround or a way to fix the library so that it is compatible with up-to-date raspian, I’d be very grateful.

You might want to check that you have added the serial driver to your RPi.
You can do that with raspi-config command utility run as root (with the sudo command, like sudo raspi-config) or doing the graphical setup utility which you find in the meny.

I don’t sit with a RPi right now, but I guess you will be able to find those utilities yourself. If not, just ask.
