Apparently incompatabile with Buster Lite #6

I'm guessing this is the Raspbian Lite flavour of Buster? Python, at least, should be installed by default but - indeed - |
|
Correct. Using the lite. It wasn't specified and knowing that intent for this is in a "headless" setup I didn't think I needed the full desktop. Another concern is when trying to install Pillow via PIP I got a out of memory error and had to build a swap in order to install. I believe Pillow comes with the desktop Buster so maybe just update documentation that the full desktop version is required? |

Yeah- it absolutely should be good to go for a headless setup, i would be silly not to. Pillow is one of the many Python packages that's paradoxically better served by apt, basically anything with significant C bindings is an uncompromising nightmare to install via pip. While there's a project to build Raspberry Pi-compatible wheels for all Python packages - https://www.piwheels.org/ - it only serves a subset of Python versions. Looks like I need to include Thanks for being an unwitting beginner and helping bash the rough edges off this installer- it's easy to lose sight of the wood for the trees when you've done this stuff for so long! |

It appears that the supplied install scripts depend on To get the examples running I had to execute the following before being able to run the examples:

Thank you- I'll get these added ASAP. I'm hoping to roll the same installer out across other products, so this wisdom will be shared. I'd swear Lite has become even lighter as of late, and it's certainly not a route I'd point beginners. Raspbian Desktop can be run headless by setting console startup mode in Alas there's not much I can do about the python2/python3 duality, although I do wonder if it's time to bite the tech support bullet and start forcing users to learn |

Also, at least on Buster (Pi Zero W, brand new install of Buster Lite), make sure user is in group I'd suggest that the script(s) can be made to work for either Python easily, and the installer would use Python 3 if it's installed; Python 2 if not; and install and use Python 3 if neither are there. (?) For an outside Luftdaten box, a Zero with Buster Lite on a small card and no screen is not unreasonable... full desktop Buster on a Zero is not fun, and all that activity would reduce the lifetime (well, mean-time-before-filesystem-corruption) of it. I've rolled my own script to not run the ST7735 (pointless outside and fouls the light reading within an enclosure), reduce the CPU temperature compensation factor (I have the pHAT on a ribbon cable to get it away from the Pi), send the appropriate values to Luftdaten, and send all the values to MQTT for local logging and display. Next I have to come up with an enclosure that'll be weatherproof and deliver Lux readings. It'd be good to include an extension ribbon cable with the Enviro+, or at least offer one as an accessory. |

I also managed to install/use Buster Lite, with the below workaround plus a $ git pull of the current code in the repo and a $ pip3 install RPi.GPIO but Python3 compatibily should be investigated/confirmed, as it is not given #21 |

Just finished running the install and I have been through getting started with enviro plus on a pi Zero with wifi and header. After running the install, which prompted to install the examples, which were in
I repeated this for python3: Thought you should know. |

@dxcSithLord have you tried my $ sudo steps listed just above your post here? |
|
Following your suggestion, I ran
So that worked. |

I installed this on Buster Lite versions I needed to install |
|
I followed all the instructions including those above, lcd.py and all-in-one.py are working, but python luftdaten.py fails with: Unless you run the following (I imagine there's a better option): |
@Darthmonkey I am getting this same issue, any fix for this yet? |

It adds another mode where all EnviroPlus and PMS5003 sensor readings are combined on one screen. Each variable that is displayed can have custom warning limits assigned which change the color of the text according to a predefined RGB palette. It allows for a quick glance of all sensor readings at once in order to jugde if everything is OK in the air or to quickly pinpoint a sensor reading that requires attention. In addition, the new combined mode saves each reading as soon as it is received for graphing later. As in all-in-one.py, moving your finger close to the proximity sensor switches the mode. Fixed graphing problem for PMS5003 results The PMS5003 library returns integers. This causes the current formula for color scaling of the graph to not work properly because of integer division instead of float division. Converting the PMS5003 results from int to float solves the problem. Adding all in one weather and light display example Adding Python 3 shebang Python 3-related fixes, moving to pip fonts, fixing Astral errors. Remove inappropriate sleep between reads The PMS5003 seems to buffer unread samples. If you are reading at a lower rate than it takes readings, then a progressively larger delay will occur between changes in actual PM levels and indicated PM levels. To see the issue: 1) run this example with the `time.sleep(1)` *included* 2) wait a few minutes 3) burn a piece of paper near the sensor and wait for the reported PM levels to spike With the sleep included, there is a delay between introducing smoke and seeing reported levels rise (often a few minutes or longer). With the sleep removed you will see reported levels update almost immediately. The correct way to use the sensor is to read as fast as the sensor allows, and not make any assumptions about what rate samples will be published at Noise library and examples for basic FFT and frequency binning Tidy up noise examples Add dtoverlay for mic Add DocStrings and linting Fix noise-profile example Add deps for noise measurement Fix launch bug in all-in-one-no-pm.py Launching all-in-one-no-pm.py results in an error due to line 57.

Is there not a consolidated script that can install this for semi-beginners like myself.
