Hi @orrmany
Unfortunately, I'm not a raspberry specialist and do not have an answer for you.
I have had FortiusAnt running on a Rspberry 3; but that's some time/years ago.

Perhaps somebody else reading this issue has a suggestion. @MeanHat ?

Hi @orrmany

Please excuse me if you already know this but if not hopefully it might help. The PiWheel version for wxPython that is used in the installation guide is 4.1.1. This is only compatible with Debian 11 (Bullseye) - see https://www.piwheels.org/project/wxpython/ for details.

You can check which version you are operating using cat /etc/os-release.

In order to proceed you could either install Bullseye (if you not already running it) or try using a wxPython that is compatible with your version of Debian.

Please let @WouterJD and me know how you get on.

[WouterJD]

Hey @MeanHat thanks for joining in

Hi @MeanHat, here it is:

HI @orrmany

Sorry for the delay. If you don't need the FortiusANT GUI then you can skip installing WxPython in step 4_InstallWxPython.sh which would then avoid the problem altogether.

If you really need / want the GUI then please let me know and I can spend some more time recreating the problem and looking for a solution.

I should have added that with a CTP such as Zwift you can manage very easily without the GUI. I run RPi3 with Zwift on Tacx Fortius.

[orrmany]

Hi @MeanHat , sorry for the slow response: it would be nice to have the GUI, indeed. My guess: I have a freshly installed (i.e., latest version of everything) Raspberry. I guess this "freshness" might break the installation process, i.e., a new wheel(?) might need to be built....
I am happy to produce debug logs, as needed, just instruct me what to do.

[decodeais]

I always starting with this old compressed image. It is working out of the box and you have only to start via start menue. If you want to install the latest version it is a way to make the the Raspi "unfresh". If you have another Ant-Stick you might have to reinstall the stick.

[MeanHat]

That's a great suggestion @decodeais, Thank you for sharing.

@WouterJD - would it be useful to add a link to the image in the User Manual in the Raspberry Pi chapter?

[WouterJD]

Yep.

I never studied "artefacts"; the .pdf and .exe should de stored different from how it's done now as well. Something to do in January I think

It is an old version without steering. If you have updated it, somebody should try to compress it too. The result is a little bigger then the pure OS-image but it is so much easier to use. I think it helps you, because it give everybody the standardized environment. Most questions concerning installation will be solved.

[orrmany]

Well, it seems I somehow managed to install wxPython. I tried many things, but while trying to follow https://wxpython.org/blog/2017-08-17-builds-for-linux-with-pip/index.html I noticed that
pip download wxPython
resulted in downloading a wxPython wheel (which is different what the script tries to install):
wxPython-4.2.1-cp39-cp39-linux_armv7l.whl
so I issued a
pip install wxPython-4.2.1-cp39-cp39-linux_armv7l.whl
and "it just worked (TM)".
:)

Now I check my W0, too

[orrmany]

Now on my Raspberry W0 I tested:
pip install -U pip
pip install -U six wheel setuptools
pip download wxPython
has cached
wxPython-4.2.1-cp39-cp39-linux_armv6l.whl
then
pip install wxPython
succeded, but for the succesful run of the test as per the install tutorial:
python -c "import wx; a=wx.App(); wx.Frame(None,title='hello world').Show(); a.MainLoop();"
I needed to install one more additional library (which was also needed for the 3B+, to be honest):
sudo apt install libpcre2-32-0
