Raspbian Bookworm 64-bit

[jtakacs]

The setup.py was not working with the latest Raspbian OS, and the image file provided by Adeept was not working with the Raspberry PI 4. I wrote this script to install the dependencies, and to set up the init script. Now everything seems to work, I get video from the camera, the motors/servos react to button presses on the web UI. I still need to assemble the robot, so I can't say for sure this fixes everything, but here is the script if anyone needs it.

#!/bin/bash

# RaspTank setup script for Raspberry Pi 4, OS: Bookworm 64-bit

if [ $(id -u) -ne 0 ]
then
    echo "Please run this script as:"
    echo "sudo ${0}"
    exit 1
fi

Awesome I'll give this a try I recently made a few adjutants and got it working on a pi 3. I wonder if we can get 2 way audio working. I am pretty sure we are using WebRTC with this so we should be able to. I was initially using an Logitech web cam but I am going to swap to a separate pi cam and usb microphone because I think that was part of my issue. I also was truing to implement PyAudio to test our playing stored audio files which was working.

Yep worked like on my Pi 4 with Bookworm thanks !! Do you have any clue on how we can get 2 way audio going in the GUI ?

@LaserGrunt The audio driver is blacklisted, because it clashes with the RGB leds, as far as I know. I'm not planning to use the audio yet, so I can't help you with that.

Thanks that pints me in the right direction anyways I don't need RGB function
