CrowPi lessons code don't work with RPI5?

Elecrow — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 08:21:38 +0000

Please check whether the GPIO library imported is RPi.GPIO or gpiozero.
* RPI.GPIO is applicable to Raspberry Pi 4, and because the GPIO of Raspberry Pi 5 is not directly controlled by the BCM2712 chip, the RPI.GPIO library is not suitable for Raspberry Pi 5 for the time being. We are currently using the gpiozero library.

If the course code on your CrowPi desktop uses RPI.GPIO library, but you are using a Raspberry Pi 5, you can install the course for Raspberry Pi 5 in the following steps.
1.Open the terminal, and go to a directory where you will place the course. I will place the course on the desktop, so I type cd Desktop and press "Enter" to run this command.

2.Then run the following command to clone the lessons code to CrowPi desktop.
git clone https://github.com/Elecrow-RD/CrowPi_RPI5.git

3.After the lessons code is downloaded, you can enter the course code directory through cd Desktop/CrowPi_RPI5/Examples, and then run the corresponding course program in this directory.
For example, when I need to run the buzzer program, I will run
cd Desktop/CrowPi_RPI5/Examples
then run
sudo python buzzer.py

Where I can download the CrowPi image compatible with Raspberry Pi5?

How to flash the image to the SD card?

Step1: Insert the SD card into your computer. Use sd formatter to format your SD card.

Step2: Use the image burning tool to burn the image file to your SD card.

For the image burning tool, you can choose balenaEtcher, Win32DiskImager or Raspberry Pi Imager.
Take Raspberry Pi Imager as an example, select use custom in os, select the image file you just downloaded, and then select your SD card. Click next and confirm.

Step3: After the image is burned to the SD card, insert the SD card to Raspberry Pi5 and turn on CrowPi. You will see there's a folder name "CrowPi" on the Desktop.

Step4: Run cd Desktop/CrowPi/Examples to enter the course folder , and then run sudo python buzzer.py (or other programs) to run the course code.
