YOLOE format conversion

Support

Hi,

I*m following Jaryd’s formidable guide on https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/custom-object-detection-models-without-training-yoloe-and-raspberry-pi/ Everything works like clock until the format conversion. Once I run 'Prompt-Free ONNX Conversion.py, I get this error message, no matter which format I try to use:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: numpy.dtype size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility. Expected 96 from C header, got 88 from PyObject

What happens? And, of course, how to cure it?

Hey there, @Jerry207389, and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here.

That error points to a binary compatibility mismatch between NumPy and simplejpeg, which Picamera2 imports.

Could you please confirm which Raspberry Pi OS version are you running, Bookworm or Trixie? Trixie can introduce dependency differences with these guides, so Bookworm is the safer starting point.

Could you also run this in the same Python environment that gives the error and share the output?

import numpy as np
print(np.__version__)
