Raspberry 3 b+ and Pi Dog v2
Created Operating system via Pi Imager v1.3.6 PI OS 32 bit, get error messages
- Failed to load HAT overlay
- Failed to load overlay “sunfounder robothat5.dtbo
- Failed to load overlay “2oshh2c”
Please help!
According to the tutorial, you need to install the relevant software. The system detected the Hat’s EEPROM and attempted to load the sunfounder_robothat5.dtbo file. However, this file is not present in the system.
The sunfounder_robothat5.dtbo file is provided by installing the robot-hat library. Therefore, please follow the tutorial to install the library, and then restart the system. This should resolve the issue.
Maybe I got in over my head with my PiDog, I assembled the hardware but I am not familiar with the Python language and didn’t think that was needed for getting the PiDog to work with the SunFounder Controller application on my ipad. I created my B3+ from Sunfouner Create Agent which did not work.
My question is; How can I get the download for PiDog v2/Raspberry Pi 3B+ that will accept commands from the SunFounder Controller.
Thank you1
You are correct, it is not necessary to know python to get the pidog examples working. Sunfounder have already written this. You simply need to install it by following the instructions here..
First, you need to install our library code following the tutorial steps:
Please install the robot-hat, vilib, and pidog in that order.
To install robot-hat:
cd ~/
git clone -b v2.0 GitHub - sunfounder/robot-hat: Robot Hat python library
cd robot-hat
sudo python3 install.py
To install vilib:
cd ~/
git clone -b picamera2 GitHub - sunfounder/vilib: Vision library for python
cd vilib
sudo python3 install.py
To install pidog:
cd ~/
git clone GitHub - sunfounder/pidog: Raspberry Pi Robot Dog from SunFounder --depth 1
cd pidog
sudo python3 setup.py install
After that, run the following command:
cd ~/pidog
sudo bash i2samp.sh
If you need to run the SunFounder controller application with PiDog, please install the sunfounder-controller by following the tutorial steps again:
12. Play PiDog with APP — SunFounder PiDog Kit 1.0 documentation
To install sunfounder-controller:
cd ~
git clone GitHub - sunfounder/sunfounder-controller
cd ~/sunfounder-controller
sudo python3 setup.py install
Then run the APP example:
cd ~/pidog/examples
sudo python3 12_app_control.py
Finally, open the APP to connect with PiDog.
Please ensure that the WiFi network your mobile device or tablet is connected to is on the same local network as the WiFi connected to PiDog for proper connection.
