Issue with tinycore + pypilot hat / Does not find IMU

[MBJ335]

Hello Xavier,
I have the very same problem you got as i've just received a new Pypilot hat a few days ago, I understand the git clone command works only if the raspberry is connected to the internet how do i do that please?

Hi,

I may advise two possibilities:
  - Should you have a WiFi router hooked on the network, you can setup tinypilot WiFi on that router and you should be able to reach github
  - Should you be familiar with ssh, you can download the content on an alternate machine and copy it on the tinypilot ; example with a linux box:

Code:

# Linux box hooked at first on a network having internet connection
cd ~
mkdir RTIMULib_update
cd RTIMULib_update
git clone git://github.com/seandepagnier/RTIMULib2.git
tar czvf RTIMULib2.tar.gz RTIMULib2
rm -rf RTIMULib2

# Now hook your linux box on the tinypilot WiFi AP
scp RTIMULib2.tar.gz tc@192.168.14.1  # Note: password is pypilot

# Now ssh on your tinypilot
ssh tc@192.168.14.1
sudo sh /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tinypilot/pypilot_dependencies/python-RTIMULib/python-RTIMULib.build

Otherwise, as Sean advised, wait a little for the release of the next tinypilot image.

Best regards,

Xavier.

Thank you so much for your help, i managed it by switching the sd card from the computer to the raspberry, it is a bit dirty but it worked out...the build routine must be launched from where the file is stored, that was my mistake!
Anyway I will wait for the next tinypilot image release from Sean (no hurry...)
Kind regards,
