I bought a pi 3B+ for this project, first time in the Raspberry pi world.
Unfortunately, when I try to load the 64bit lite version required for the project and installed with raspberry pi image, it doesn’t no work. Even on another SD card (I tried 16Go and 64go).
Hi. I’ve been trying to install birdnet on a new Pi4/2gb. So far 5 installs have all failed. The error is:
ERROR: tflite_runtime-2.6.0-cp39-none-linux_aarch64.wh1 is not a supported wheel on this platform.
Have you installed the 64-bit version of Bullseye on the SD card?
From there it should be smooth sailing - let us know if you run into any other issues!
All sorted.
After making a few tweeks and getting to know my way around things now all set up with a redirect from birdnet.planetrama.net direct to my unit (actually 202.7.233.92:5000) and also on BirdWeather as #1880. It is a great accompaniment to the bird book that sits on the table on the back deck, now I know what I am supposed to be looking at.
G’Day Tim,
well done putting together this project for everyone to follow.
I’ve have tried a couple of times now to install the packages and get the following error:
/home/birdnetpi/BirdNET-Pi/scripts/createdb.sh

The installation exited unsuccessfully.

any help/assistance would be most appreciated…
Cheers Dave
Glad to hear you’ve had some success and thank you for sharing this guide, you’ll be sure to help someone else battling issues getting BirdNET up and running!
Hi there, I tried to install the script. It took about three hours and threw out many errors and ignored packages too. At the end it said it had installed unsuccessfully. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Could you let us know which version of Pi OS and Hardware you are trying to install this on?
From what I can find this install only works with Pi 4 or 3B+ running Bullseye.
If you are running a Pi 5, Pi 4 or lower with Bookworm you may need to use this fork of the project that has Bookworm support.
I am running a RPi4 8GB model in an Argon40 V2 case with NvME expansion board.
I have tried:
RaspiOS 64-bit full and Core Electronics curl script (exited unsuccessfully)
RaspiOS 64-bit full and attempted update (is there something wrong with the Raspberry Pi updates, most were ignored or errors) and Core Electronics curl script (exited unsuccessfully)
I can ping the update addresses and I can browse to the files in Firefox
RaspiOS 64-bit full and mcguire98 curl script (exited unsuccessfully)
RaspiOS 64-bit full and attempted updates mcguire98 curl script (exited unsuccessfully)
RaspiOS 64-bit lite and Core Electronics curl script (exited unsuccessfully)
RaspiOS 64-bit lite and attempted updates and Core Electronics curl script (exited unsuccessfully)
RaspiOS 64-bit full and attempted updates with modified raspi.list changing to suggested sources and mcguire98 curl script (exited unsuccessfully)
I would recommend trying the Nachtzuster fork of the project as it has been updated as recently as this week where the mcguire98 hasn’t had a change in over a year.
Is there a link for the 3D file of the Rooster case you created/used? I see the link to the original Rooster file but not the modified one to hold a Pi. Thanks!
Unfortunately, it looks like this particular file has been lost to time. We have a fair amount of resources for this project archived, but it doesn’t seem like that 3D model is one of them.
If you manage to splice together that rooster STL with a Pi case, let us know! It would be awesome to be able to recreate that case design.
I’m a high school teacher in Queensland, and we are rolling these out across several school. I have been monitoring birds at home for 2 years using my home wifi network. I am looking for some advice on how I might be able to power remote devices and what my options are in terms of 4G connectivity (maybe a USB modem with prepaid SIM). School networks are not an option.
For powering the Pi you would need a solar manager, I would recommend Solar Power Manager Module (D) you would also need a solar panel that outputs between 6V~24V and is also able to deliver ~3x the required power for the Pi (to maintain the battery as well as to power it overnight and during times when energy collection isn’t optimal), 3-pin LiPo Battery for PiJuice 20000mAh would give you the longest battery life of the compatible ones that we stock.
