Hey guys. I got my jetbot (" SparkFun JetBot AI Kit v2.1 Powered by Jetson Nano ") about a month ago and I just cant get it to work. Im really struggling to know what to do next - it feels like I’ve tried all i could…
I just redid the hardware assembly for the third time - no problems at all there. Now for the flashing of the SD card: I have tried four different images:
- “jetbot_image_v0p4p0.zip”
- “jetbot_image_v0p3p2.zip”
- “jetson-nano-jp46-sd-card-image.zip”
- “jetson-nano-sd-card-image-r32.2.zip”
currently im running on the “jetbot_image_v0p4p0.zip” for the second time.
After assembly is done I create a docker file and update the system - allowing me to use the edumax-wifi dongle. I can run the jetson both through the GUI using HDMI, aswell as through ssh.
What I cannot do though, is to initialize the robot class - or run anything that moves the robot really. Also the LED display does not turn on.
Running Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
The error message i get whenn trying to run
from jetbot import Robot robot = Robot()
is the following:

Thanks in advance me and my son are desperate at this point. What do you think I could try next?
