Pimoroni Fanshim Python problem

Troubleshooting
1

Hi all,

I have freshly installed the ARMv8 64-bit image on a Raspberry Pi 4 model B, through dietpi-software I have then installed Git and Python, after that I have followed the steps on the Pimoroni page to install the Fanshim service, but I receive the errors below and could not find a solution, does anyone have a tipp how to solve it?

Thanks in advance

Looks like some issues with the script and you missed to install required dependency. It seems the script is not ready for Bullseye

  • Package python-configparser is not available on Bullseye
  • script is trying to install stuff for Python 2 wich is depreciated long time ago and not available in Bullseye
  • rpi.gpio>=0.7.0 should have issues on Bullseye Python 3.9
  • you are missing Build-Essential package

Thanks for your answer.

Basically Pimoroni should update the script, right? Or is there a workaround?

4

yes would be good if they would review at least. But this might not fix all issues you have.

5

Better move back to Buster, you mean?

6

this I can’t answer as it depends on your needs. If you require this software it might be needed.

7

Thanks again for your answers, I have opened a topic on Pimoroni and pasted what you wrote me https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/pimoroni-fanshim-script-and-bullseye/18170

ok perfect. I see guys picked it up and start working on it.

Just a side node, I guess Build-Essential package is something you would need to install manually. It’s available on our software catalogue.
