Hello,

I literally am havin' the same issue as you right now w/ a GPS module 
working w/ BB-UART2-00A0.dtbo and a grove connector. This is my error:

*py_setup_uart(UART2): set_pin_mode() failed for pin=P9_22Traceback (most 
recent call last):*
*  File "FirstGPS.py", line 5, in <module>*
*    UART.setup("UART2")*
*ValueError: Set pin mode failed for uart channel.*

I think things are changing at some point in some way at some level. 
Vague...yes. I can set up my source w/out the .dtbo and use config-pin to 
set my uart2 pins to have my source 'work.'

Anyway, I will be following along to see how far you get b/c right now, I 
am a  little stumped as to why what has worked no longer is viable.
