Hello everyone, I followed all the instructions on the page:
https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-sna ... stallation
Everything is installed without errors, but at startup this error comes out: (see attached photo)
What could be the problem?
Thanks.

Re: ANIMATED EYES BONNET FOR RASPBERRY PI
Are you running on a Raspberry Pi 4? Are you running Pi OS Lite?
https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-sna ... perimentalPLEASE NOTE: the steps in this page currently DOES NOT WORK on the new Raspberry Pi 4 due to lots of changes in the graphics subsystem. We have a work-around toward this, discussed on https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-sna ... perimental

Re: ANIMATED EYES BONNET FOR RASPBERRY PI
Hi mikeysklar, I solved it.
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3+ and downloaded the latest version of the lite package "2021-10-30-raspios-bullseye-armhf-lite.zip"
but it generates the error.
Then I also tried with other previous versions like "2021-01-11-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip" and "2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip".
The only version that works without generating errors is the "2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip"
So the latest version and those prior to v. 2021-05-07
do not work.
I hope to be useful to others with this info.
Thanks.

@bioelecttrico,
Good job troubleshooting this down being an issue with the most recent Bullseye release of Pi OS. It looks like the pi3d python library has a conflict with being run on Bullseye.

Thank you for tracking this down, much appreciated. I’ve updated the guide with this info.
Darn, I’d been eager to see how this performs on the Pi Zero 2 W, guess that’ll have to wait for a pi3d update.

[quote="pburgess"]Thank you for tracking this down, much appreciated. I’ve updated the guide with this info.
Happy New Year everyone.
2022 Update:
I wanted to inform you that now not even the version "2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip" seems to work.
Recently the microSD card where I had successfully loaded the "2021-05-07" version is broken. I tried to load the same version on another microSD card, but I couldn't get it to work anymore. Something has changed (software updates ??). Now the Phyton programs (example “python3 eyes.py”) end with the error "illegal instruction".
Do you have any idea what may have happened?
Thank you.

Re: ANIMATED EYES BONNET FOR RASPBERRY PI
Can you provide more of a traceback leading up to the “illegal instruction” error? Like what library specifically is having the problem?

Re: ANIMATED EYES BONNET FOR RASPBERRY PI
Plz ignore above…minor updatelet, some good news: I may’ve solved the issues with needing to run on an ancient OS and not working on Pi 4, etc.
Monday is normally my “focus 100% on Learning System issues” day, so the fix will have to wait ’til then…but if it works, and I think so, installation will be a lot smoother going forward!
Thanks for your patience.

For the Raspberry Pi3, there are still problems.
I downloaded and installed on uSD the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite (Legacy)
("2021-12-02-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip"
Then I installed the scripts following the procedure described without any errors.
Nothing happens to the reboot, no eyes and no error messages.
I tried to run the python script manually:
cd / boot / Pi_Eyes
python3 eyes.py
after a few seconds the message "Illegal instruction" appears.
Any idea about the problem?

Re: ANIMATED EYES BONNET FOR RASPBERRY PI
I'm not sure why you would be running the Legacy version.
Can you try the Raspberry Pi OS Lite (October 30th 2021) release.
https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/
https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspi ... f-lite.zip
If you still see "illegal instruction" please provide the trace info so we can narrow it down as to what is failing.

Re: ANIMATED EYES BONNET FOR RASPBERRY PI
Can you verify you’re using a Pi 3?
Just did the walkthrough and can confirm Pi 3 B+, Pi 3 B and Pi 2 B all work. Encountered the Illegal Instruction issue on a Pi 1 B+, don’t know the cause yet. Is it possible that’s what you have there?
