HiTechnic Compass Sensor "Device is not connected"

[SchwarzFuchs]

Kernel version 4.4.87 code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from ev3dev.ev3 import *
from time import sleep
mB = LargeMotor('outB')
mC = LargeMotor('outC')
comp = Sensor(address='in1:i2c1', driver='ht-nxt-compass')
t = 0
while t<100:
        print (comp.value())
        sleep(1)
        t +=1

Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./forward", line 12, in print (comp.value()) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ev3dev/core.py", line 1758, in value self._value[n], value = self.get_attr_int(self._value[n], 'value'+str(n)) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ev3dev/core.py", line 214, in get_attr_int attribute, value = self._get_attribute(attribute, name) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ev3dev/core.py", line 198, in _get_attribute raise Exception('Device is not connected') Exception: Device is not connected

Does the sensor show up in BrickMan under Device Browser?

Also it would be better if the bug report was filed in the ev3dev-lang-python repository.

OK, so not a driver issue. More python people will see your issue if you post it at: https://github.com/ev3dev/ev3dev-lang-python/issues
