Install robot-hat for piDog

When installing the robot-hat module code, by copying the code and paste into the piDog pi5 (via SSH). The installation starts to work installing various code then gets to

“Install dependencies with pip3:

update pip ….. “

Then just hangs at this stage appearing to be updating but goes in 30 minutes plus….

The containing thread may be hanging, or maybe dpkg is blocking or the command itself is hanging.

You could also try to install the freezing code from the terminal command line directly. That may give you more debug information.

The hanging command is…

sudo apt-get upgrade -y python3-pip

See what it reports, but upgrade can be very slow, so it may just need more time, especially if you have slow internet. The above command should let you see better what’s going on.
