System-Tools & Python

Hi, since update to 7.95.1, i can't read values via smbus.

Code

import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.system-tools/lib')
import smbus
import time
import datetime


i2c = smbus.SMBus(1)


def pwr_mode():
   data = i2c.read_byte_data(0x69, 0x00)
   data = data & ~(1 << 7)
   if (data == 1):
      return "RPi"
   elif (data == 2):
      return "BAT"
   else:
      return "ERR"

This was working with 7.0, but gives no readings with 7.95

Did i miss a change or is it a bug?

Sorry to dig up an old thread.

I'm having the same issue with importing smbus into my python script using 8.0.

Has anyone been able to do this?

Thanks for your response.

Copy/paste those commands in console so we can see what the error is.
And I assume you have system tools addon installed!
