[Errno 121] Remote I/O error

Followed installation instructions exactly. Raspberry Pi Zero W 2

Touch_e-Paper_HAT/python/examples $ sudo python3 TP2in9_test.py INFO:root:epd2in9_V2 Touch Demo INFO:root:init and Clear INFO:root:[Errno 121] Remote I/O error

Any ideas?

On the premise that Raspberry Pi Zero W 2 's I2C can be used normally:

• Check the /boot/config.txt file to ensure that the I2C is not occupied by other devices
• After the restart, enter 'i2cdetect -y 1' to check whether 48 is detected

Thanks for getting back to me. Here is what I was able to find out:

The only line in /boot/config.txt regarding i2c is -

dtparam=i2c_arm=on

i2cdetect -y 1 does not detect anything

(just has -- in every line)

Anything else I can try?

It turned out to be a fault Pi Zero - swapped it out with another one and it worked!

Thanks

I'm glad it's working.

Unfortunately i have the same issue. The python code for the 2in9 epd works pretty well in general but not if i use a battery attached to the back of the raspberry, called pisugar https://github.com/PiSugar/PiSugar/wiki/PiSugar2

Can someone solve this puzzle please?

I followed all installation instructions on the wiki, including installing the BCM2835 libraries. I got the same errors as above. However, if one uses python, I do not believe this library is necessary and it might even conflict with other methods. After installing BCM2835 I no longer have the above error.
