Tried rebuilding my SparkBot again using the JetBot IMG plus the SparkFun jetbot.zip. Ran object_following.

from jetbot import ObjectDetector

model = ObjectDetector(‘ssd_mobilenet_v2_coco.engine’)

Led to this error:

==================

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)

==================

What is missing?

To solve this problem, I needed to:

  1. sudo apt install python3-pip

  2. pip3 install sparkfun-qwiic-scmd

The installation instructions should add these steps.

As a follow up, there is a note at the bottom of the [software section. I am not sure if I originally forgot about it, but it is currently there.](Assembly Guide for SparkFun JetBot AI Kit - SparkFun Learn)
