I ordered the board some weeks ago and now I am trying to make the board working on Ubuntu 16.04 - without any success. I follow the "official" guide here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ft2 ... t/overview
First I wanted to try if it works using screen command - screen terminates immediately, I couldn't communicate with the board
Then I installed the python library as described in the guide. Import works fine but when I start the sample script it waits some seconds and I get the following error:
Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
