Project Still Active?

[Caleb-J773]

I noticed that this project isn't being updated recently and there's been new problems since. Is the updates paused?

[Caleb-J773]

No?

[BrunoTh]

Sorry. I've lost motivation a bit. I also had to do some stuff for university. Maybe after the exams I will work on this project again. One point is an algorithm for filtering the driving data.

[Caleb-J773]

ah nice to see you around, one thing that might motivate you, Is possibly getting it working with ATS?

[BrunoTh]

It should work but you have to train a new model because the roads a different. Actually I'm trying it too :D

[Caleb-J773]

Ah, I did ran into an issue with it, I wonder if that was just my pc, I'll have another go at it, soon. As I just did a new fresh install of windows, no python before. And yea, I figured It'll need a new model, sure it's the same game engine and such, but it just uses frames and input from like a gamepad and not like code from the game heh.

[Caleb-J773]

Yea the problem im getting is still happening, there's no input from the AI to the vjoy controller and my controller can't move the vjoy output either. using vjoy monitor and ATS

[BrunoTh]

What's the ID of the vjoy device in the AP settings? Is it set to 1?

[Caleb-J773]

yea, let me send a screenshot one second.

[Caleb-J773]

[Caleb-J773]

Also still get this error ^

[BrunoTh]

Settings are correct. Can you please open the autopilot folder and check if the pyvjoy directory is empty?

[Caleb-J773]

Let me check that,

[Caleb-J773]

[BrunoTh]

Nice. There is the problem. The pyvjoy package is missing.

https://www.ets2autopilot.com/

Download it by using the link and do step 2. After that it will work.

[Caleb-J773]

Oh lol, I don't know how I forgot that, but I did heh.

[Caleb-J773]

Is the training data still good with it's inputs or do I need to re-do it?

[BrunoTh]

I'm not sure xD Try it with the data. If the steering wheel does not move at all in autopilot mode, then you have to re-do it.

[Caleb-J773]

I get this error as well Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "threading.py", line 914, in _bootstrap_inner File "C:\Users\Desktop\ETS2Autopilot-master\thread_controller.py", line 38, in run angle = round((joystick.get_axis(self.axis) + 1) * 32768 / 2) pygame.error: joystick system not initialized

[Caleb-J773]

But It seems to be just a normal error, as pyjoy shows movement from my controller, now to see if there's any inputs from the AI.

[Caleb-J773]

Yep, I got movements, I think the reason it worked was because the way you setup the recording, It doesn't involve vjoy at all when it comes to recording inputs in the frames. So luckily the training data is safe.

[Caleb-J773]

Also, another question to ask you, how many epoch's do you say, you should train and or how long you should train for.

[BrunoTh]

Good. I try to keep this error message in mind.

Puh. It has been a while since the last time I did some coding on the autopilot. But if it works I did it right for this part :D

[BrunoTh]

It does 30 epochs maximum. If the loss drops below 0.25 or 0.30 it stops automatically.

[Caleb-J773]

Ah okay, so 30 then. But yea, thanks for the help so far, Hopefully you are able to continue doing this project. A lot more to do :D. But yea the goal is to get it to 0.30 or so.

[Caleb-J773]

Also, I seen there is the logs files, What can I do to them?

[BrunoTh]

After I've seen some videos of Tesla's Autopilot Update I got motivatated to work on the autopilot again :D

Which log files do you mean? In the models folder? These are generated by tensorflow while training. They show the progress of the training.

[Caleb-J773]

How do I access them?

[BrunoTh]

You can visualize them with tensorboard. Just Google it. On the tensorflow website is an guide

[Caleb-J773]

yea for some reason tensorboard isn't working at all. Doesn't have anything for tensorboard

[Caleb-J773]

Because python is embedded I think.

[Caleb-J773]

Ah wait, I figured it out, needed to do python -m tensorboard.main

[Caleb-J773]

I do have an idea, maybe add a deadzone setting for controllers?

[Caleb-J773]

Yea now I'm getting a new odd error message which is just crashing the UI

Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\ETS2Autopilot-master\UI\main.py", line 169, in enter_mode self.thread_training = TrainingThread(self.ui.statusbar) File "D:\ETS2Autopilot-master\thread_training.py", line 14, in __init__ self.driving_data = DrivingData() File "D:\ETS2Autopilot-master\driving_data.py", line 87, in __init__ self.xs, self.ys = zip(*self.c) ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 0)

along with it the normal pygame.error: joystick system not initialized

[BrunoTh]

The list with the recorded images seems to be empty. That's why the error popped up.

Currently I'm working on another method for the autopilot. I call it AP1. It uses only lane detection and no neural network. When the AP1 is engaged it will record the images for you. Later on these images will be used for training the AP2 (neural network). I want to improve the user experience and stability of the program. I think, therefore I have to do some refactoring. But the first goal is that the AP1 works.

[Caleb-J773]

That doesn't seem to be the case for me, I have no recorded images at all no saves either, I got the project again, added vjoy and all of that stuff and I'm still getting this error. there's no captured folder either.

[BrunoTh]

You are trying to start the training mode without recorded images. That's the reason why this error appears.
