Difficulty getting this running on Ubuntu 11.10

[mooredan]

Maybe I just missing something basic, but any help would be appreciated.

The base is definitely seen by the system:

lsusb | grep Cyg

Bus 002 Device 006: ID 10c4:84c4 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc.

ll /dev/fit

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2011-10-28 17:44 /dev/fitbit-ant_2-1.5 -> bus/usb/002/006

...but I get an AttributeError when starting it:

python fitbit.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "fitbit.py", line 351, in
sys.exit(main())
File "fitbit.py", line 317, in main

self._connection = usb.core.find(idVendor = vid,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'core'

dpkg --get-selections | grep usb | grep py

Please let me know if you need more info, thanks.

You'll need to install the libusb-1.0_0-dev package ( I may have the dashes
and underscores out of order there, check apt-cache).

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

That alone didn't do it, I had to install pyusb-1.0.0-a1from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyusb/files/

...after unzipping: sudo python setup.py install

...but that just got me past the original issue, now there is a USB time out error:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usb/backend/libusb10.py", line 357, in _check
raise USBError(_str_error[retval.value])
usb.core.USBError: Operation timed out

I tried several debugging steps:

• unplugging and re-plugging the base from/to the USB port
• with the fitbit tracker installed
• with the fitbit tracker not installed
• run as root/not as root

This appears similar to a more recently reported timeout error (the issue list and/or docs show another one resolved).

Can you suggest any further troubleshooting steps?

Oh, sorry, I thought you'd already installed pyusb-1 since it found the usb
module.

Yeah, now you're to the same point pretty much everyone else is. These
timeout errors have been rampant in libfitbit since I started, and I just
haven't had time to fix them. Not sure what the issue is yet.
