nfl_api_parser ERROR

[Irishking03]

I just installed the nfl board on a new raspberry pi and this is the error I get using this argument in terminal

sudo python main.py --led-gpio-mapping=regular --led-cols=64 --led-rows=32 --led-brightness=60 --led-slowdown-gpio=2

Here is the ERROR:

File "/home/pi/nfl-led-scoreboard/main.py", line 6, in from data.data import Data File "/home/pi/nfl-led-scoreboard/data/data.py", line 3, in import nfl_api_parser as nflparser ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nfl_api_parser'

[alexanderthebadatcoding]

Try sudo python3 main.py. ....

[Irishking03]

nope that doesn't work either @alexanderthebadatcoding

pi@raspberrypi:~/nfl-led-scoreboard $ sudo python3 main.py --led-gpio-mapping=regular --led-brightness=60 --led-slowdown-gpio=4 --led-rows=32 --led-cols=64

[pjockey]

Did your install install the nfl_api_parser? Try pip3 install nfl_api_parser. Or pip install nfl_api_parser.

[Irishking03]

i tried both of those in the nfl-led-scoreboard and get 2 errors. could not find a version that satisfies the requirement nfl_api_parser & ERROR No matching distribution found for nfl_api_parser @pjockey

[pjockey]

that file shoudl be located in /home/pi/nfl-led-scoreboard/data/nfl_api_parser.py

Let me see. Also, I think it is a python2 program. I have a non python2 versiono f Raspberry OS on my unit at the moment.

[Irishking03]

@pjockey yes it's there.

[alexanderthebadatcoding]

I use python3 for the script but in the "/home/pi/nfl-led-scoreboard/data/data.py" file I edited it to:

import data.nfl_api_parser as nflparser

[Irishking03]

Wait.. IF i remove the led-cols=64 and led-rows=32 my 3 - 32x64 boards light up and each board displays the same image '

[Irishking03]

NEVERMIND.... I GOT IT Now to play with the renderer files

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[mikemountain]

yeah, I'm sorry man, this codebase (and the ff one) is a real mess. I've been too busy to fix the various errors that have been happening, super grateful to everyone in the community helping out. I'll do a lot more improvements over the next offseason

[Irishking03]

@mikemountain nah man your good... Im playing with renders now and adjusting to fit 196x92 board

[Irishking03]

[pjockey]

9 panels, 64x32? Nice.

[Irishking03]

@pjockey yeah.. Have NHL and MLB on it as well. API is down currently for NHL and I know they are looking for a new setup. But board crashed every night. MLB on the other hand is super sharp. I'm going to Play around with this today and for the next few days. Ill share pictures.

[Irishking03]

[alexanderthebadatcoding]

I'm not as familiar with the NHL, but you might be able to copy the code for the NFL scoreboard and just use the ESPN api in the meantime, http://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/hockey/nhl/scoreboard and just change the logos (ie https://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/nhl/500/scoreboard/bos.png)

I was able to do it for MLS, and it's mostly working. Also there is this repo for the NBA https://github.com/m0ranwad/nba-led-scoreboard

[Irishking03]

@alexanderthebadatcoding you have a picture of the MLS one. Love to see that.. ALSO this is the new error I get. The board shuts down after a little while and now when trying to redo the code I get

[Irishking03]

I started over again. I think I was doing to much at once. But got it back working

[Irishking03]

[alexanderthebadatcoding]

It looks better in person

[alexanderthebadatcoding]

You should check the troubleshooting section, https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/#troubleshooting and CPU Usage: https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/#cpu-use

[Irishking03]

@alexanderthebadatcoding im good now I am back up and running. I had some of the false and true statements mixed up I think. Also it did not help that I was doing PHI instead of PHL or whatever it was.

[alexanderthebadatcoding]

@Irishking03 if the NHL api is still down you can try this: https://github.com/alexanderthebadatcoding/nhl-led/

I think I got it working.

[pjockey]

https://github.com/alexanderthebadatcoding/nhl-led/

Is this a python2 project? During the install, the installer could not find python-pillow. Using Bullseye OS. Lots of errors.

I don't think so. But it is kind of a mess of different projects combined. So that could be the issue. I need to change the readme. Are you able to run it without installing? Just ’sudo python3 main.py’

I am using the older Buster raspberry pi lite OS, I think I remember seeing somewhere that version is more compatible.

[pjockey]

the scrpit runs with sudo python main.py prior to attempting the ./install.sh. only python3 installed. The script runs, but the screen is giberous. Just a bunch of bluey green leds light up.

[alexanderthebadatcoding]

I think I changed the settings in the utils.py file, I added the panel type to: default="FM6126A" you should be able to delete that, and see if that helps. also change the gpio-mapping settings, if you're not using the adafruit hat.

(I'll update the code too)
