rpio-curses on RPI 2

Tue Apr 07, 2015 12:28 am

I installed the RPIO using the following instructions on a RPI 2.
$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
$ sudo easy_install -U RPIO
I then ran "rpio-curses". It came back with the error:
"SystemError: This module can only be run on a Rasperry Pi"

Will this run on a Raspberry Pi 2?

Have a look at this thread for information about updating RPIO for the Pi 2.

Thank you. I followed the thread and installed all required packages. I still got the same error.

The RPIO module has not been fully updated for the Pi2. Servo/PWM pulses and DMA in general does not work on the Pi2.

I assume rpio-curses has a similar problem.
