pip failed to install rpi zero w #1

Closed limitless808 closed 4 months ago

limitless808 commented 4 months ago

Currently using a rpi zero w (not sure if that matters).

While following the readme guide, I ran into several errors while installing.

First was rgbmatrix and the second was json. errors returned are as follows

pip install rgbmatrix Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement rgbmatrix ERROR: No matching distribution found for rgbmatrix

pip install json Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement json ERROR: No matching distribution found for json

when running the python command just to test, I get this

sudo python main.py --led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat-pwm --led-brightness=20 --led-slowdown-gpio=4 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/nfl-led-scoreboard/main.py", line 2, in from data.scoreboard_config import ScoreboardConfig File "/home/pi/nfl-led-scoreboard/data/scoreboard_config.py", line 1, in from utils import get_file File "/home/pi/nfl-led-scoreboard/utils.py", line 1, in from rgbmatrix import RGBMatrixOptions, graphics ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rgbmatrix'

are there any other sources for install? also, no files have been modified, and this was installed on a fresh copy of raspbian lite x86

I think I had my README wrong. I just forked it from here and updated it in place: https://github.com/mikemountain/nfl-led-scoreboard

Looks like you probably cloned his repo and not this one. Try it again with this repo.

If that doesn't work then I'll have to take a closer look when I get a chance. You definitely need rgbmatrix and json installed with PIP or this will never work.

Looks like maybe you don't need to pip install json... its built-in to python. So, if you clone the right repo I think it should work. Good luck!

Works like a charm! I meant to reply earlier, but time escaped me. Thank you. I will be looking at your NFL script next as well.

jarvin521 commented 4 months ago

Glad to hear it! The NFL script is just this one. I created a new repo once I had it polished a little bit. If you want just NFL look at Mike mountain's https://github.com/mikemountain/nfl-led-scoreboard

His code is what this one is based off of
