Errors on running setup_gpio.sh

[curiousmint]

Hi Sam,

Thanks for taking this project on and devoting your time to it - it is much appreciated!

I ran though your setup guide and am stuck on trying to setup the gpio pins. Here are the errors I get:

409
tee:  /sys/class/gpio/export: Invalid argument
cat:  /sys/class/gpio/gpio409/direction: No such file or directory
cat:  /sys/class/gpio/gpio409/value: No such file or directory

If I run the main.py skipping the gpio setup, I receive this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "main.py", line 12, in <module>
        from memcache import Client
ImportError: No module named memcache

Running apt-get install memcached tells me that I already have the latest version.

Do you have any ideas on how I could proceed?

Read this...

http://docs.getchip.com/chip.html#gpio

And follow the section about Kernel version and bases for the expander pins...

My gpio folders were /gpio1016/ instead of /gpio409/ as referenced in the gpio_setup script. just edit the script and change to 1016

This gpio409 is also referened in the main.py file. Just edit and replace. There is one reference.

This project is now deprecated in favor of the new AlexaPi (https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi) which has all the features of this project and much more, such as:

• support for a wide range of devices and platforms (Raspberry Pi, CHIP, Orange Pi, desktops, Magic Mirror and others)
• voice activation (great PocketSphinx support and snowboy support soon to be released)
• much more robust installation and configuration
• better security
• Arch Linux support
• awesome documentation
• and much, much more! You get it - it's just awesome.

Please switch over to the new project and if your issue persists there, file an issue in the new repo's issue tracker. Thank you.
