aiy.led and aiy.board modules do not exist

I am trying to import a module to control the LED in the button of the voice AIY. I have version 2 of the kit. Using both the v2 instructions and the v1 instructions, I get an ImportError when trying to import the packages. The v2 instructions say to run from aiy.leds import Leds, Color, and the v1 instructions say to use from aiy.board import Board, Led

Am I incorrectly trying to import the module, or missing it entirely? If it is missing, can I download the necessary module, or do I have to re-flash the image entirely?

pi@raspberrypi:/opt/aiy/projects-python/src $ python3 main.py

Importing packages...
        Importing LED...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 454, in <module>
    from aiy.board import Board, Led
ImportError: No module named 'aiy.board'

pi@raspberrypi:/opt/aiy/projects-python/src $ sudo nano main.py

Solution

  • Since you are in the "src" directory check if directory "aiy" is present there. If not, that's the problem. If yes, check that "board.py and leds.py and init.py are present within "aiy".

    If not, you need to install those with apt-get install commands. See

    for additional details. The Google repo must be present to find these.
