When I try to run data_collection.ipynb in the “Collision Avoidance” project, I’m at the part where I run the following:
import traitlets
import ipywidgets.widgets as widgets
from IPython.display import display
from jetbot import Camera, bgr8_to_jpeg
camera = Camera.instance(width=224, height=224)
image = widgets.Image(format='jpeg', width=224, height=224) # this width and height doesn't necessarily have to match the camera
camera_link = traitlets.dlink((camera, 'value'), (image, 'value'), transform=bgr8_to_jpeg)
display(image)
The error I’m getting is:
RuntimeErrorTraceback (most recent call last)

I’ve looked through a bunch of threads with the same issue, and none of them seem to have a fix that works for me. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
