6 months ago Which version of Raspian are you running and what was the install method? The error you're receiving is likely because picamera isn't installed, usually because the OS is Raspbian Bookworm or a recent version, which doesn't support picamera.
This has been fixed over on the Picamera2 branch and should be merging it to the main branch this week. Feel free to try out this branch, just make sure to replace the git clone https://github.com/geezacoleman/OpenWeedLocator with git clone -b picamera2 https://github.com/geezacoleman/OpenWeedLocator/tree/picamera2 owl, otherwise you'll end up with the code from the main branch which won't help.
this log is with rpi 5 with rpi cam
