New setup driver problem

[ManyBlenny]

I just installed a new setup and I was able to get the dashboard to bootup, but I'm not able to select any pins or drivers for any hardware. I assume this is related to an error I see in the service log which says:
driver-subsystem: Failed load raspberry pi driver. Error: can't build hal pin 20: strconv.Atoi: parsing "31+rpt": invalid syntax

The only things I've done so far is change the login details, change the internet port name, and enable single wire and i2c in the raspi-config.
My build:

• Raspberry Pi 3B
• Raspian Bookworm OS (July release)
• Reef Pi 6.0

systemd log:

Started reef-pi.service - raspberry pi based reef tank controller.
driver-subsystem: Failed load raspberry pi driver. Error: can't build hal pin 20: strconv.Atoi: parsing "31+rpt": invalid syntax
Successfully started subsystem: system

reef-pi version 6.0 is up and running
Starting http server at: 0.0.0.0:80

and then after that in the log there are only a bunch of GET requests.

Is there a fix for this?

You're going to need to run a release of Raspbian prior to Bookworm. The GPIO pin mode ReefPi was using isn't compatible in newer releases of Raspbian (or the latest RPi hardware)

For anyone who stumbles upon this thread, I was able to get around the issue using the above advice. Used this OS (bullseye)

To any one who finds this: this legacy version has changed to bookworm which once again does not work :( You need to get a version on Bullseye, which is the critical piece to make it work. Go to here:

Index of /raspios_oldstable_lite_armhf/images/raspios_oldstable_lite_armhf-2023-10-10

When thats done, I tried some workaround to get ssh to auto work, but failed. I was only able to setup via mouse, keyboard, monitor. First setup User/Password. Then "sudo raspi-config" and setup system, configure SSID to your network. Then reboot. Thats where the reef-pi tutorial starts.

Follow the steps in the reef-pi guide to get the OS updated and get reefpi setup. https://learn.adafruit.com/reef-pi-installation-and-configuration/raspberry-pi-configuration


ps. 90% of my troubleshooting is Gemini. I have experience with rPi, but this stuff was much simpler using that. Highly recommend over other LLMs I've tried.

ok the steps in that reef-pi tutorial are outdated. Here's what I did, instructions from gemini (R2R keeps giving me browser error with the test idk whats up with that):

I wouldn't say that the adafruit page is outdated. It is very close to what Gemini told you. Good call on the new raspbian image location though.

yeah they're close enough, i think the only big differences was the raspi-config screen is changed making the adafruit page instructions confusing to someone a bit clueless like me, and the version of reef-pi. regardless, still working on this so ill update if this version works so ideally someone doesn't have to go through the full headache later.
