Voice Bonnet / Blinka install problem

[nomadicfrog]

I'm having a hard time getting my Voice Bonnet running on my Raspberry Pi 4 4GB.

As far as I know the Pi is fully up to date. I followed the Adafruit setup for the Voice Bonnet (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-voi ... y-pi-setup) starting with Step 4, several times, but each time when I get to this line sudo python3 raspi-blinka.py I get the following error:

Code: Select all

This script configures your
Raspberry Pi and installs Blinka

RASPBERRY_PI_4B detected.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/raspi-blinka.py", line 120, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/pi/raspi-blinka.py", line 98, in main
    if default_python_version() < 3:
  File "/home/pi/raspi-blinka.py", line 20, in default_python_version
    return float(version[0:version.rfind(".")])
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ''

I haven't been able to find anyone else getting this error, or anything about what to do about it. I have also tried just continuing with the subsequent steps - without any other errors - but the seeed card never shows up in alsamixer.

Side note: I was able to get the Voice Bonnet installed and working a while ago when I first got it. I don't really know what all has changed on the Pi since then, though.

(Frustrating day: I still can't get the microphone on my Pimoroni Enviro to do anything, and I found out the PDM microphone I bought won't work with the Pi either, but I digress.)

Thanks for any help, and apologies if I have left out information. Just let me know and I'll do my best to add it.

Had a chance to try and install the Voice Bonnet on a completely different Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB, got the same error at the same step.

Any suggestions?

Ok, good talk.
