No movement in Sunfounder App or Ezblock - PiCar on Raspberry Pi 5

Ive tried all the other tests found on the sunfounder website, and can control the device with my keyboard fine, its just that toggling in joystick in the app does nothing

Same with EZblock, it connects and sees the device, but none of the programs do anything

I am using the below OS, its the only one that worked for me on Raspberry Pi 5. The normal raspberry OS from the Imager does not work with EZBlock

thanks in advance

Have you pressed the triangular “play” button in the top right corner of the app?

Yeah I have, it is playing, it just doesnt do anything.

Also the camera is extremely laggy, after testing it seems like its cause the bookworm lite OS doesnt use GPU only cpu, so the latency becomes unacceptable..but the sound works

have given up on eazyblocks, movement works if i code in python only, so i will just use that. Sound worked on bookworm lite, but camera latency was terrible, so im going back to the normal 64bit raspberry pi OS with desktop and will then try and fix the sound after that. Hopefully this fully fledged OS will fix the camera as well

We were unable to reproduce the issues you encountered. To help us investigate further:

Regarding the Ezblock App - When running the sample program, does the joystick dot follow your finger movement correctly?

For the camera lag - This is more likely caused by network latency rather than hardware issues.
