That’s right John, hoping to see some magic.
Well, I’m afraid there is not magic, only engineering.
Maybe we should double check you’re using Raspbian for robots. Can you please go to the Desktop and take a picture if you’re using VNC, or in the command line, type
cd ~/Desktop
ls -l
And take a screenshot of the results?
Thanks!
Please find attached screenshot
Hey @rajat-ray this hasn’t had Raspbian for Robots installed on it. It looks like you have a basic install of Raspbian on it. Please see the links above for installing Raspbian for Robots!
here are the steps that I have done after assembling the gopigo. My gopigo
and raspberrypi are assembled together.
-
Connected the Raspberrypi with Ethernet cable to my Windows laptop
-
sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get upgrade
4. git clone https://github.com/DexterInd/GoPiGo.git
https://github.com/DexterInd/GoPiGo.git
5. A folder named GoPiGo should appear in you current working directory.
6. Open it and go to Setup Files directory:
- cd Setup*
7. The install script is called install.sh . Make it executable
sudo chmod +x install.sh
8. Run the script and follow the instructions
./install.sh
9. sudo reboot
10. Open Putty with raspberrypi.local
Username:pi
Pwd:raspberry
cd /home/pi/GoPiGo/Software /Python/
sudo python setup.py install
11. cd ~/GoPiGo/Software/Python/Examples/Basic_Robot_Control
pi@raspberrypi:~/GoPiGo/Software/Python/Examples/Basic_Robot_Control $ sudo
python basic_robot.pyTraceback (most recent call last): File
"basic_robot.py", line 39, in <module> from gopigo import * #Has the
basic functions for controlling the GoPiGo Robot File
"build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/gopigo.py", line 49, in
<module>IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
And then I get above error.

Rajat
Was this just copied from this older post? The mis-spellings are exactly the same!
Again, to move forward, I think your best option is to Install Rapsbian for Robots. See how to do it here.
If you really need to continue to use a different operating system, please run these commands:
cd /home/pi/GoPiGo/Software /Python/
sudo python setup.py install
And post a screenshot of the results.
On the existing system I ran below commands and please find attached
screenshot:
cd /home/pi/GoPiGo/Software /Python/ sudo python setup.py install
@rajat-ray: Can you run the install script again as sudo and paste the output here
sudo ./install.sh
From the error, it looks like one of the packages didn;t install correctly. If you still face the same problem, can you post a screenshot of the error too
Doesn’t appear to be anything in the txt file.
Did you run the install scripts? Do you have a screenshot for Karan?
Yes. I ran and entire log is in txt file. I can very well open the log
file.
I also tried opening the log and it is empty. Can you try uploading it again along with the screenshots .
Thanks for having the patience to test this out. I also wanted to ask if there is specific reason why you are not using our Raspbian for Robots image.
here is the log I am pasting in this mail:

Thanks for pasting the log in. It’s a surefire method and now we can see it properly. Those forums are brand new, maybe there’s an issue in their configuration. Sorry about that, we’ll look into that specific issue (of not seeing the log file)
As for the log itself, it seems perfectly fine. There are couple of error messages in it, but those errors do not matter.
Could you run a test for me if you don’t mind?
Open up a terminal window
Type python and return
On the very first line, there will be a version number for python. Could you confirm that it’s a version that starts with 2, and not 3? (most likely it will be 2.7.9)
You’ll have a new prompt that will look like this: >>>
type in import gopigo and return
Are you getting an error message then?
Thanks for your patience on this as we work through the issue.
Cleo
Python version is 2.7.9 also, after I type in import gopigo and return, I
don’t get any error message.
Can you try out this example: https://github.com/DexterInd/GoPiGo/blob/master/Software/Python/basic_test_all.py and give the f command first and see if it works.
Can you also run i2cdetect -y 1 in the terminal and paste what you get.
I finally made it to work, but now another problem till my gopigo and
raspberry pi is connected to usb cable, it works and accepts the commands
for movement.
As soon as I disconnect the usb cable and connect the battery power, it
doesn’t work and my putty session also gets disconnected.
Any help?
What was causing the problems and what made them go away.
Coming to the power issue, are your batteries fresh and have voltage greater than 9V. It might have restarted, can you turn of the GoPiGo and power it from the batteries and see if you are able to connect via putty in a minute or so and are you using Ethernet or wifi to connect.
it works now, your line “connect via putty in a minute or” worked…
thanks for the time.
Great to hear that.
I am still wondering what your initial error was from. Do you have any more pointers on what might be causing it and what ended up solving it. It would really help us to improve our documentation.
Thanks a lot for your patience with the problem and sorry for the initial hiccups. I hope you have a great experience with the GoPiGo.
