ADXL345 - Raspberry Pi 3
Opened this issue · 2 comments
hello, when running the example python script for the ADXL345 it generates:
IOERROR: [Errno 2] No Such File Or Directory
- With the ic2tools installed it shows the ADXL on address 53 when you run ic2detect
- I2C is enabled by Raspi-Config and restarted
- ADX345 hardware returns value if using another script to talk to the ADX345, the latest Sunfounder script does not work
- Error occurs with latest Python 2.x version
Hi, Uruwashii.
Sorry about your problem. It's the Adafruit I2C module did not support auto detect bus number on Pi 3 yet. You can fix it with one of the options below:
Option 1. Go to Adafruit's Github repository, and check if they fix it yet, if it does, replace the Adafruit I2C.py file with the new one in directory: 14_ADXL345/Adafruit_ADXL345/.
Option 2: force the bus number to 1
Edit file: Adafruit_ADXL345.py:
nano Adafruit_ADXL345.py
find line like below, (It's about line 109):
accel = Adafruit_ADXL345()
change it to:
accel = Adafruit_ADXL345(busnum=1)
Hit CTRL + X to exit and than Y to save it.
The option 2 is recommended if you are new. And we did not test the change yet, but it should work. Reply or email us, if it doesn't.

I ran in the same issue and what I missed was to activate the I2C interface / kernel module in raspi-config.
sudo raspi-config => Interace options => I2C
(I know, a blast from the past, but maybe there are others out there discovering that little treasure this sunfounder box is years after buying it)
