Raspberry sense hat problem

[RogierQ]

Trying to get my sense hat working after a crash of my pi.
created a new image ( basic ) and installed node red.
using nr version 2.2.0
every time i get the message [node-red-node-pi-sense-hat/sensehat] Error: Can't find Sense HAT python libraries. Run sudo apt-get install sense-hat

on install of sudo pip-3.2 install pillow i get sudo: pip-3.2: command not found
maybe this is the problem?
i cannot find in google how to solve that

thanks!

See if the hack here helps

SenseHat environment / motion problem

I may have found a hack to cure the problem [image] One of the recent changes was to default to using python3 for the background data gathering instead of python2 I changed home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-node-pi-sense-hat/sensehat to just use python2 again and it seems to have made it work again [image]

Thanks!
So change python3 to python2?
nope that is not working, found that solution before.

The issue is that the node calls a python program that was written using things that are not compatible with python3. I took a look awhile ago and did some work, but dropped it because of other claims on my time.

Recently I’ve been doing a little python coding for a project I’m developing and it may shine some light on what needs to be changed in the node’s python program. I’ll see if I can scrounge some time (in between watching grandkids shoveling snow, doing taxes etc) to take a look this week. No promises though.
