The instructions on https://8086.support/?action=faq&cat=13&id=120&artlang=en should work - if not let me know and I'll update them.

Chris.

ah so the instructions above arent working on ubuntu server 20.10 on the pi.

apt install git libusb-1.0-0-dev python-usb python-libusb1 python-smbus

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Package python-smbus is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

E: Package 'python-smbus' has no installation candidate

Ah, thanks for letting me know, as Ubuntu 20.10 uses Python 3 you can install using "sudo apt install git libusb-1.0-0-dev python3-usb python3-libusb1 python3-smbus python-is-python3" (I've updated the FAQ entry).

Chris.
