Jonathon, Thank you, “pip install .” worked, i.e. the installed casperfpga code is the same as the cloned casperfpga code. And I’m now able to write uint up to 2^32 – 1 to the software regs.
It’s probably worth noting that version 0.1.1 installed when I did "pip install casperfpga", while version 0.4.4 installed when I did “pip install .” That seems like a big change, 0.3.3 to be exact ☺. Anyways, folks going through the tutorials should note that “write_int” did not work with large integers in v 0.1.1, but works perfectly in v 0.4.4. That stumped me for a while. I might try a pull request to note some of this in the documentation, see how that works.

If you want to install from the source you downloaded, you could "pip install ." from the casperfpga directory after installing the requirements (instead of "pip install casperfpga"), and that should build and install from the local repo.

See “try” statement in attachments, they are different. Does anyone know how that could happen, how did my struct.pack statement get commented out during the pip install? Does anyone recognize the comment “# Breaking backwards compatibility” in the “pip_installed” attachment? Note I came across this because I can’t seem to write a 32 bit unsigned integer to the yellow block software register using “write_int”. The max number I can write without getting error is 2^31 – 1, which seems to suggest my number entry is being interpreted as a signed integer. Looking at the “write_int” code, it seems the (‘>i’ if integer < 0 else ‘>I’, integer) argument should sort that out, but for some reason it’s commented out in the /usr/…/dist-packages/casperfpga. Any help is greatly appreciated, I don’t understand how the installed source code could be different than the cloned source code. Maybe something about pip or git that I don’t understand?
