Hello,

I have two Witty Pi 4 to be used as wide input power supplies for remote Raspberry Pi 3B+, one a 

My need is that they power up automatically when power is applied at the input.

To do so, as in the past, I tried to install the wittyPi application, but:

  • on Bullseye lite it has issues with WiringPi 3.2 (I modified the script to 3.14) and flit (which it doesn't find)
  • on Stretch i2c-tools weren't found, please see the attached file.

I have two options: find a way to get wittyPi to work or find another way to change the powerup behaviour.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Mathias

Why do you need "flit" here? As I remember Witty Pi's software doesn't use flit.

As for WiringPi 3.2 on Bullseye, the installation script installs it liket this:

wget https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi/releases/download/3.2/wiringpi_3.2-bullseye_armhf.deb -O wiringpi.deb
apt install -y ./wiringpi.deb

And we have tested that on Bullseye. Which issue did you referred to?

We unfortunately can not help with package missing issues. I would suggest to use Bullseye or Bookworm, Stretch may be kind of too old.
