gdx not found under Ubuntu 24.10

[ROldenburg]

Dear all,
I installed gdx, godirect, libusb-1.0-0 in a virtual environment of Python 3.12 under Ubuntu 24.10. All went though, but gdx does not work, i.e.
from gdx import gdx
gdx = gdx.gdx()
gives an error that there is no symbol gdx.
Any advice?

Hello,

I am not sure what that error might mean. When you say you "installed gdx", do you mean pip install, or do you mean you placed the folder 'gdx' with your python files so that it could be found? (Note that some people have mistakenly done a "pip install gdx". This is not correct. gdx is not an installed library, it is only a folder. If you mistakenly do a pip install gdx you must uninstall it. Also, the gdx folder must be located where the script can find it.)

I would suggest that you try the example that does not use the gdx module. The example is called "godirect-sensor-readout.py"

Let me know if you are able to run godirect-sensor-readout.

All the best,

Sam
