I am trying to use the Adafruit BBIO library on a BBB with Ubuntu
13.10 installed.  It's for reading ADC values and sending some digital
data.

A trivial program as follows shows the error:-

    #!/usr/bin/python
    import os
    import sys
    import Adafruit_BBIO.ADC as ADC
    #
    #
    # Read A2D using Adafruit libraries
    #
    ADC.setup()


As soon as it executes the ADC.setup() call I get the following error:-

    chris@beaglebone$ bt.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/home/chris/bin/bt.py", line 9, in <module>
        ADC.setup()
    RuntimeError: Unable to setup ADC system. Possible causes are: 
      - A cape with a conflicting pin mapping is loaded 
      - A device tree object is loaded that uses the same name for a fragment: 
helper



This worked OK on the Angstrom distribution but for lots of reasons I
want to use Ubuntu.

So, what's wrong, I'm not running anything at all before running the
above.  There are no capes installed.  I get the above error if I
simply power up the system and run the above code.  Is it just some sort of
name conflict with more than one thing called 'helper' or am I
misunderstanding what it's telling me?
