Install error?

[rcork]

I had the same issue but found a link to an issue on github and a solution that worked for me. Here's the link: pybluez/pybluez#431 (comment)

What i did was, after installing all the prereqs, ran these commands

sudo apt install -y git
pip install git+https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez.git#egg=pybluez
pip3 install tilt-pitch

That seemed to do the trick. Thanks a ton!

However, now on running Tilt Pitch I get the following:
plex@PLEXSERVER:~$ python3 -m pitch

That ones over my pay grade :). Problem is pybluez is not maintained anymore. I found a commit referencing the issue but it hasn't been incorporated into the master repo so i dont know how to fix this issue

pybluez/pybluez@44265df

I actually stopped using tilt pitch and i'm using TiltBridge now. Much better and supports Tilt Pro Hydrometers.

Thanks for giving it a shot anyway. i know just enough about Linux to get myself in trouble and even less about coding in Python, LOL! Got an old Raspberry Pi kicking around and got TiltPi running on that. Was just hoping to run the data monitor on an already running machine, but heck, TiltPi is probably my best bet. Happy brewing!
