I have attempted to install the SunFounder Power Control Core following the instructions in the Pironman manual:
“cd ~
git clone GitHub - sunfounder/spc: SunFounder Power Control Core
cd ~/spc
sudo python3 install.py“
I get the error that the file “install.py” cannot be found.
Thoughts? Thanks!
Pironman5 is not installing SPC, through what channel did you find the SPC installation?
Pironman5 requires the installation of the Pironman5 software, please refer to the tutorial:
https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/pironman5/en/latest/set_up_rpi_os.html
Have the light pipes been lost?
We can send you new light pipes. Please contact service@sunfounder.com.
Hello,
Today I repeated all the steps in the guide and it worked fine. I don’t know why it didn’t go well the first 3 times a few days ago, but I was not getting the install.py file. Oh well.
By the way, the instructions to change the eeprom precede the software installation. It didn’t work until after I installed the Pironman5 software.
Everything works as expected now; this is a cool little product! Thank you for your time and quick response.
Regards, Doug

Changing the eeprom configuration file will take effect after a reboot. Since you will also be prompted to reboot the Raspberry Pi after installing the pironman5 software, you should first change the eeprom configuration, then install the pironman5 software, and finally reboot the Raspberry Pi.
