    Hey all,

    has anyone been using i2c on Udoo with python? If so, which library would that be? I tried smbus, but that does not seem to exist

    Code:
       
    from smbus import SMBus
    ImportError: No module named smbus
    
    I am trying to communicate to a TEA5767 radio module via i2c from the linux command line using python.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    K.R.

    now the GPIO module is remaining

    Have you been able to use I2C with a python script from Linux side?

    If yes, could you be so please and publish your demo command.
    I have tried a lot but was not able to communicate with linux i2c.

    Thanks for some help if possible.

    Hows that theory going ?

    I`ve programmed in python using smb-dev library on the raspberry pi , so IF the port is working it shouldn`t be any different to that.
    Have you tried using i2cdetect -y 0 ( i2c-tools ) and see if it finds your device ?

    I tried pip install smbus and got this :-

    Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement smbus
    No distributions at all found for smbus

    The RIGHT WAY is apt-get install python-smbus !!!!!
