Enviro pHAT installation error

Support
1

Good afternoon,

After confirmation from Sandy a wider audience is perhaps needed for this one.

Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks

Background, it’s a fresh install of Jessie, updated as of today on a Pi Zero 1.3 fitted with the Enviro pHAT

After following the below command it falls over toward the end.

curl https://get.pimoroni.com/envirophat | bash

It’s all fine until the end:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo curl -sS https://get.pimoroni.com/envirophat | bash
This script will install everything needed to use

I suspected that you’d be the one who could help Pete out, @RogueM!

that sounds very much like a temporary glitch with the PyPi repo.

… you should be able to use python 2 in the interim, though I suspect none of the examples were copied, so I’d try again in an hour or so and hopefully all will be fine then.

Hi @RogueM, thanks for the reply.

I’ll try again later on. i copied down the repo’s and the 3 examples do work so it seems so far it’s all working.

I also did the same for the blinkt install, though again it hung up on the installation of the python3 stuff.

Thanks.
Pete

yes, not happening here right now, but it could very well be location dependent… I’ve had that sort of problems myself before, unfortunately it’s out of our control :(

No worries, thanks for having a gander and hopefully it is just down to 3rd party problems.

Will try again, if and when it works i’ll post my findings.

Cheers.

PyPi seems to be having a bad day, I keep getting server errors when I push new packages, and the website takes an age to load.

Seems it’s still not working when i try and run the install scripts.

Having fun using it though.

Have got it spitting out the temperature to my Xively account now to.

Out of interest has anyone found there to be a lot of ambient heat around the sensor? I’m going to fit a 20 pin ribbon cable to extend the distance to see what figure it gives me.

Also ordered some TMP36’s to add an analogue temperature reading too.
