CircuitPython School - Installing CircuitPython on a Raspberry Pi

[longjeremy]

I much appreciated your video. I had no idea what I was doing and your video helped me out tremendously!

Thanks for your teaching, this is very helpful for me.

Can't be more new to this, so I am very confused, and this video helped a lot! I am on a PC and no wifi on my Pi Zero 1.3. I had to find rndis drivers (thanks to another Ken who found them), and then I had MANY internet connection problems as Pi-0 1.3 tried to go through my PC and my firewalls, and network settings and internet provider issues. Again this other Ken helped, but if you can, spend a little more on a Pi Zero with wifi, and I'll be purchasing a powered ethernet Micro USB adaptor to prevent the Pi Zero comm problems in the future. Again: Excellent video, going to watch more of these!!

All the example code i find for my project uses usb_hid and python. Usb_hid is appart of circuitpython i think.

Everything i try to install, i still get usb_hid not installed errors.

I have a pi 4. Any tips would stop me from slamming my head on the keyboard :-)

I am very new to circuitpython and completed the steps in this video on my pi 4, and the blinka test worked, but im having trouble intstalling the module bundle.

I watched your video on servo control but when i downloaded the bundle, extracted it, put it in the lib folder on my pi and tried running test code it just said ”no module named adafruit_motor”.

How do i fix this?

Hey, I’m having trouble downloading blinka onto my raspberry pi. It says python3: can’t open file ‘/home/pi/raspy’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory. Could you provide me an email I can contact you please.
