IndexError on Raspberry Pi

[pbricmont]

Trying to use DymoScale with the Raspberry Pi 3B+ running the lastest Raspbian Buster and getting this:

File "/home/pi/dymoscale_simple.py", line 15, in
reading = dymo.weight
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/adafruit_dymoscale.py", line 76, in weight
reading = self.get_scale_data()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/adafruit_dymoscale.py", line 122, in get_scale_data
bits[bit_idx] = bit_val
IndexError: list assignment index out of range

I'm using the lastest versions of Blinka, Dymoscale, and libgpiod. I've confirmed that the scale is wired correctly using a Metro M4 Express. Any ideas?

Thanks

might not be able to use a pi because of the very sensitive timing....the protocol hacking is pretty delicate!

I was afraid that was going to be the answer but thanks for the reply all the same. I will investigate other options. Thanks

@brentru plz add a note to this repo' that it wont work on embedded linux - only microcontrollers :)
