Problems installing PIco HV1.1 on Pi B+ with new install of Buster

[RDK-45]

This Pi use to run the PIco HV1.1 with Wheezy as the OS, it was retired several years ago. I have just installed Buster (Linux 10) and would like to also activate the PIco HV1.1.

I have tried to follow my notes from when this unit was built with Wheezy, those in the "Simple_Setting_Guide_for_the_UPS_PIco.pdf" and those on the GITHUB site (which I think were written for the HV3 unit?). In all cases it does not seem to be functioning. For example the pico_status.py throws a Python error. The output from the "sudo i2cdetect -y 1 " looks correct.

My original notes use the rc.local to initiate the picofssd.py program while the newer procedure sets it up as a service.

I have made a backup of my sd card which was taken before I tried any of the install procedures above. Can you help?....RDK

Hi, Hmm, I must setup the workbench for the old PIco HV1.1 to check it on my side, however it is difficult to be done next 2 weeks as we are overloaded with new firmware testing for the PIco HV3.0A/B/B+ and new PIco HV4.0 release. If you can wait little bit, I will be able to work on this just after new PIco HV4.0 release Kind Regards Ioannis

As I'm also waiting for the release of the HV4 unit, I'll be patient. Maybe someone else will have an idea?...RDK

Are you sure this is not a python version error? I've had this before and noticed the change from python 2 to 3. running the script as:
python2 pico_status.py
was working for me.
