Running Picoscope on Raspbian x86_64

Post by lyapunov »

Hi!
I have an old iMac dedicated to running PicoScope. I run the x86_64 version of Raspian on here. It is basically Debian but with the Raspberry Pi GUI/Windows Manager which is a lot faster than the bloated distributions such as Ubuntu, et al.

I installed the Picoscope software on here in the past (after spending hours trying to get it working on Mac OS X) and everything worked wonderful.

Yesterday I reinstalled the OS and attmpted to reinstall PicoScope. I am no longer able to install it. The error I get is below:

Code: Select all

root@picohost:/home/pi/Downloads/tmp# apt-get install picoscope

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Hi lyapunov,

The PicoScope software is not supported on Raspbian at this moment in time.

Are you able to install packages individually e.g.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libps3000a
Regards,
