Problems running script follower.py in the Follow Me project

[thatting]

I have problems running the follower.py script in the Follow Me project (section 6-P-9). I have renamed the model_weights file (output of simulation) to model_weights.h5 (just added the .h5 extension) and run following line in the RoboND enviroment, after starting the QuadSim simulator and clicking "Follow Me" button + selecting "Spawn People" :

$ python follower.py model_weights.h5

The python file runs for about 5 seconds then crashes with the Windows message "Python has stopped working". I am using following versions on my laptop:

Windows (10) operating system

QuadSim simulator : v1.2.2

Python : 3.5.2

Also, I've installed as instructed:

pip install tensorflow==1.2.1 pip install socketIO-client pip install transforms3d pip install PyQt5 pip install pyqtgraph

Hmm, that error message sounds scary:) The project has run on multiple windows 10 machines, so that would make me look for a system/build specific problem. Here is what I would do.

first: run a helloworld.py type of script from the command line, and make sure this runs.

second: check if you have multiple different python installs on your system, and that you have the correct version active while running follower.py

third: if you are not getting a stack trace of any kind when running the script. Then I would put an if False: about half way down the if __name__ == '__main__' section of follower.py, and then indent the rest of the section so it doesn't run.

I would then adjust the position of this until the line that is causing the problem is found.
