General

Hi All

Using a Pi5 8gb, Set everything up, but unable to connect to the app, when trying to install the final part ;

sudo python3 13.app_control.py

It comes up with the error ;

“IndexError: list index out of range”

Full code below after running; sudo python3 13.app_control.py

vilib 0.3.16 launching …
picamera2 0.3.25

Any ideas? Have tried 32bit and 64bit raspberry pi OS and installed and reinstalled all required modules. Have also tried the latest image with ezblock pre installed - sound works with this os fails with all others, and connects to ezblock but ezblock doesnt work at all

Thanks in advance

These error messages usually mean that your camera isn’t being detected. Check wiring and run standalone camera test code such as rpicam-hello
