#2 Error Messages in pySimiam !
Hello,
Thank you for creating Python version of simiam.
I have Python 3.6 and PyQt5. I insatlled both Python3 and PyQt5 through Anaconda3. And I have downloaded two vesrion of pysimiam zip files, "pysimiam-remote" and "pysimiam-master". pysimiam-remote uses PyQt4 and when I tried to run there is an error message saying "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt4'.
pysimiam-master uses PyQt5 but there is another error message saying;
"starting simulator thread
reading initial configuration
No class QuickBot in module quickbot
[Simulator.construct_world] Robot creation failed!"
I appreacite if you could let me know how to rectify this issue/error.
Thanks in adavnce!
Best Regards
Julian

Hello,
I am glad someone is still interested in this project. I had the impression that everybody uses the Matlab version now.
Due to this, the project is slightly outdated, and as far as I remember there is no version around that supports Qt5. So I wonder, where did you get pysimiam-master.zip from?
It is not difficult to port to Qt5, and I will do it over the weekend, maybe even today. But to do it right, I would like to know a bit about your use case. What do you want to use pySimiam for? Are going through the Coursera course or are you trying to drive your own robots with it?
All the best,
Tim.
Hi Tim,
I email this directly to you. Since not sure whether you got it I am sending through Sourceforge.
Thank you for the quick response.

Sure. I am much happier to use Python than Matlab.

It is from the Github as well. Please see the link given below. I also attached the *.zip file for your convenience.

I did this Mobile Robotic course in Coursera offered by GT in 2014. That time I was in Germany and some of the components to build the robot needed to get down from US. The Beaglebond processor was not available for a long time and I was able to buy it just last week of the course. I passed the course but didn't do the simulation part since I didn't have the hardware to build. I am a bit hands on guy and wish to implement the hardware part as well. So I now have all the hardware to build the robot. Since Python is a free open source software I want to use Python for this project. I also found some nice Beaglebond projects with Python. And I thought it would be better to stick to Python than switching from Matlab to Python and vice versa.
If I can make the robot working I can share my codes and instructions to build the robot and things needed to be tweaked. Original author(Jean-Pierre de la Croi) has already give a very good, step by step instructions to build the robot. I am open to share and discuss if it is useful for others. And micro-controller programming and tinkering with electronics is part of my hobbies.
Hope I provided you a background and answered your questions.
Please feel free to let me know if you want me to do things to port the pysimiam to the latest version of Python and Qt5.
By the way I am not a Python expert but understands basics and written a few codes in Python (indulging games with GUI, http://www.codeskulptor.org/ ) while I was doing Coursers courses and some for image processing.
Look froward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes,
Julian
Hi Tim,
Did you get my email?
Thanks
Julian
