Did you notice that there’s 2 versions of robot hat? V 4.0 SunFounder Robot HAT — SunFounder Robot HAT documentation

And the other
https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/robot-hat/en/latest/

Be sure to download\install the appropriate one.

I have the 4.0 version and im getting the error installing the correct one

Could you please let us know which product you’re using ? Additionally, are you following the tutorial linked in the documentation to install the code library? This information will help us analyze and resolve the issue more effectively.
We also recommend trying the installation a few more times to see if the results vary.

5

And I’ve followed the install instructions to a tee at least 12 times with the same error each time

6

Then the tutorial I’m following for the library install is Install the robot-hat Module — SunFounder Robot HAT documentation

To assist you further, could you please provide the following information?

1.Raspberry Pi System Version: What version of the Raspberry Pi operating system are you currently using? This will help us replicate and troubleshoot the issue.
2.Network Configuration: Please confirm the network configuration for your Raspberry Pi. Is the signal strong? If you have an Ethernet cable, we recommend using it to download the code repository. When executing the installation commands, please try running them one at a time to observe the installation results.
3.Kernel Version: Please execute the command uname -r to check your system’s kernel version and share the result with us.

Your OS Buster uses libc6 v2.28
https://pkgs.org/download/libc6

As confirmed in the error message

…but 2.28-10+rpt2+rpi1+deb10u2 is to be installed

Bullseye uses v.2.31

Bookworm uses v2.36

Error message

libttspico0 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.29)

says ibttspico0 requires at least v2.29, consistent with

Try to install on bullseye or bookworm or possibly an apt upgrade will load latest libc6 version if no other conflicts.

Changing my os to bookworm seems to have fixed it thank you

You are most welcome, glad that I could help.
