Ideas about Bullseye because Bookworm will need a Virtual Environment for python3 -m pip install smbus2
- Get an image from beagleboard.org for a Debian Bullseye Distro or another one.
- Make sure it is the minimal flasher image...
- Here is a location where you can grab the image... a. https://forum.beagleboard.org/t/arm64-debian-11-x-bullseye-monthly-snapshots-2023-10-07/32318
- Look to your smbus2 file called smbus2.py and change line 302.
- The smbus2.py file is located, after installing w/
python3 -m pip install smbus2, at: a.~/.local/lib/python3/site-packages/smbus2/smbus2.py - Then, on line 302 in smbus2.py, make sure it is a fd of
/dev/bone/i2c/2. - If that is not working, try
/dev/i2c-5. - Add your favorite server and a
/templates/dir. w/ a file called whatever you wish... - Make sure that pwmsOne.py has the same .html file listed as what you will call the .html file in
/ServoCape/templates/Your_File.html.
Also...Bookworm has some ideas relating to the OS itself that plays a bit differently compared to Bullseye.
Use a virtual env instead of trying to use outside package managers like pip3 or pip when attempting installs. This means...
- apt install python3-venv
- python3 -m venv Your_FILE
- source Your_FILE/bin/activate
- cd Your_FILE && python3 -m pip install smbus2
- Or...you can use smbus via: apt install python3-smbus
- There are arm64 and armhf ports of python3-smbus for utilization
- Then, try-try-try to make things work via the already acquired docs. here

If you have not noticed, there is a server, a Flask Server, in the src file to run called pwmsOne.py. That file needs a /templates directory and an HTML file in it to handle such an instance...
Please review flask and HTML to handle the file!
