python3 smbus error

[johannstieger]

Hi,
when I want to run
sudo python3 merged.py
or
sudo python3 bat.py
I got these errors (line number is different in bat.py) :
File "~/x120x/merged.py", line 5, in
import smbus
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'smbus'

It seems that smbus is missing. Is it better, to install smbus via
sudo apt install python3-smbus
or edit bat.py and merged.py and change
import smbus
bus = smbus.SMBus(1)
to
import smbus2
bus = smbus2.SMBus(1)
?
In both cases I was able to read the battery status (Voltage and battery charge level) with "sudo python3 bat.py".
But in none of the cases above I was able to get some informations via "sudo python3 merged.py". I only get a line break.

When I run
sudo i2cdetect -y 1
I can see that address 36 is detected.

Best regards, Johann

I do now get data via merged.py - see pull request.
