MLBStats and RGB-Matrix not installing correctly.

mcangeli commented 4 months ago

This issue is a

[x ] Bug Report
[ ] Feature Request

Hardware Configuration

Raspi 4B 2gb Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet 64x32 RGB LED Matrix (The suggested BOL)

Software Configuration

Raspberrypi Bookworm fresh install MLB Scoreboard fresh install

MLB LED Scoreboard Version:
Commands/arguments used to start the scoreboard:

On a fresh install it appears that the MLB StatsAPI and the RGB Matrix are not installed correctly. I was able to get the stats installed, however I had to install the RGB Matrix with the install script from adafruit (which works really well).

However, now I have to use: sudo python main.py --led-rows=32 --led-cols=64 --led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat

to start the board.

did you install the rgb matrix from within the mlb-led-scoreboard directory? i'm having the same problem. statsAPI did not install on 32 bit, but seems to have installed ok on 64 bit.

I ended up running " pip3 install pipreqs --break-system-packages"

in the MLB-Scoreboard directory and it installed the statsapi.

I did have to install the rgbmatrix from a different directory (as the install for the mlb-scoreboard already tried to install it). I ran the install script that adafruit has and it installed ok.

lambtor commented 3 months ago

do you have the command you used to install the rgb matrix adafruit script? i assume i'm looking for it to target the mlb-led-scoreboard/matrix directory?

mcangeli commented 3 months ago

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts/main/rgb-matrix.sh >rgb-matrix.sh sudo bash rgb-matrix.sh

I'm having issues following the steps above, but it seems to mostly be due to permissions issues on the rpi4. After I do a clean download of the Mlb-led-scoreboard when I try to do 'pip3 install pipreqs --break-system-packages' I get an ESError: [Errno 13] error stating that the permission was denied. Is the rpi4 misconfigured or should I be doing all of this in a virtual environment? Thanks for the help.

Did you try it sudo in front of the command?

craigw97 commented 3 months ago

Putting Sudo in front of the command got it to work, however, I'm still having issues getting the script to work. I downloaded the rbg-matrix via the code script Mcangeli shared. I verified it worked by navigating to mlb-led-scoreboard/submodules/matrix/examples-api-use and running the demo code. With this, the LED screen works perfectly on the examples. When I navigate back to the mlb-led-scoreboard folder and run: sudo ./main.py --led-rows=32 --led-cols=64 --led-no-hardware-pulse=1 --led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat --led-slowdown-gpio=4 I'm getting the errors stating that the SixelAdapter failed to load, and it later states that ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rgbmatrix' Do I need to be running this in a virtual environment or am I missing something to get this to work?

If everything was installed correctly, the command should take you into the venv folder and run everything from inside there.

This how my file system looks on the Pi.

I don't see anything in the instructions about pipreqs. There is no file on my Pi. The sudo ./install.sh should locate and install all of the required files/packages from the requirements.txt file.

Contents of requirements.txt

feedparser==6.0.10
MLB_StatsAPI>=1.6.1
Pillow>=10.0.1
pyowm==3.3.0
RGBMatrixEmulator>=0.8.4
tzlocal==4.2

Requirements
You need Git for cloning this repo and PIP for installing the scoreboard software.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git python3-pip

Installing the scoreboard software
This installation process will take about 10-15 minutes. Raspberry Pis aren't the fastest of computers, so be patient!

git clone https://github.com/MLB-LED-Scoreboard/mlb-led-scoreboard.git
cd mlb-led-scoreboard/
sudo ./install.sh

This will create a Python Virtual Environment and install all of the required dependencies. The virtual environment will be located at mlb-led-scoreboard/venv/.

Thank you for sharing that. Looking at my file system, I'm seeing the below files. x@raspberrypi:~/Final2/mlb-led-scoreboard $ ls assets highlight.py requirements.txt colors install.sh rgb-matrix.sh config.json ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md submodules config.json.example LICENSE.md tests CONTRIBUTING.md main.py utils.py coordinates PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md validate_config.py data __pycache__ venv debug.py pyproject.toml version.py driver README.md emulator_config.json renderers

It looks like I'm missing some folders, like bin, lib, share, include and the pyvenv.cfg file. My file system also seems to include rgb-matrix.sh. Is it possible I installed the rgb-matrix into the wrong location? Also, my requirements.txt seem to be slightly different. Is this just a difference in version of the software? Thank you for the help, I realise this is fully operator error on my end. core==1.0.1 feedparser==6.0.10 Pillow==9.4.0 Pillow==10.4.0 pyowm==3.3.0 RGBMatrixEmulator==0.11.6 tzlocal==4.2
