smbus

Dear Sir,

please suggest how to install smbus on onion Omega. When i tried to execute DS3231 Project file it shows Import error: No module named smbus

@Nagendra-yedem you should always include details of what device you have and what firmware verson you are using.

i assume you are using Python, but you didn't mention what version so this would determine how you would install smbus.

First you need to edit /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf, uncomment line 5. Now run:

opkg update

If you are using python 2.7 you run the command:

opkg install python-smbus

If you are using python 3 you run the command:

opkg install python3-smbus

@Nagendra-yedem DS3231 is a "real" I2C device - it doesn't need the SMBus.
