Testers Wanted: GoPiGo3 on PiOS Bookworm (Pi4 or Pi5)

GoPiGo
1

I have created an unofficial install script for GoPiGo3 API on the latest PiOS Bookworm, and would like to have folks test it on their GoPiGo3 robot.

Disclaimers:

  • Not an official release - Do not ask ModRobotics for support on this configuration
  • Desktop “GoPiGo3 Calibration Panel” only works if Display manager is changed to X11 in raspi-config
  • Only hardware I2C is enabled, so I2C devices must be plugged into the hardware I2C connectors
    (outer-most white connectors on front of GoPiGo3)

REQUIREMENTS

  • System must have pi user
  • Must be user pi when running this script
  • Must be connected to the Internet
  • Do not need to enable i2c or spi - installation will configure

INSTALLATION

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slowrunner/GoPiGo3_PiOS_Bookworm/main/setups/install_GoPiGo3_PiOS_Bookworm.sh
source install_GoPiGo3_PiOS_Bookworm.sh

After it reboots, first test:

python3 /home/pi/Dexter/GoPiGo3/Software/Python/Examples/Read_Info.py

If you have a speaker attached, it will announce the IP address.
