I need to install a python package that is not currently available:
Yesterday I was able to do a pip3 install ahrs and it seemed to work but it is not recognized in they Python sketch when I do
from ahrs.filters import Madgwick
Tried reinstalling this morning after the recent update and seems things broke so does not seem to work anymore.
Thanks in advance
I don't know anything about Python, but I bet for you to get some help, you will need at a minimum the OS you are using, which board you are using, and I suspect more.
Well since this is a Arduino Q forum I would have thought it was obvious that I am using a Arduino Q. And since I am asking about Python I must be on linux side with the qualcomm chip. Didn’t think I need to specify:
Arduino Q
using .\adb shell
and trying
pip3 install ahrs.
Thought it would be obvious - guess not!
Durn, I need to remember to look at the top of the page.
For documentation I did find in another post that
To add Python packages to your application, select the main.py file and click on the “Add file“ icon. Create a requirements.txt file and list the Python packages you need. See Requirements File Format - pip documentation v25.2 for more information.
Sorry forgot where I found this but think it was written by @manchuino in Arduino Q info Tkinter - UNO Family / UNO Q - Arduino Forum
Now question is once it installs the package do I still need to keep requirements.txt. Also, can I use pip3 if in activate venv at
Activating python virtual environment Using Python 3.13.9 environment at: .cache/.venv
Hi @Merlin513. Note that the Python script of the App is running in an isolated environment inside a Docker container:
Conversely, the shell you reach via adb shell is in the global environment of the Linux machine.
Morning @ptillisch . Thanks for the explanation. I did finally manage to get my test app working late last night where I am sending accel/gyro/mag data from the arduino to linux and then sending roll/pitch/yaw back to the arduino. Quite a learning experience.
Any plans for a Bridge for dummies tutorial 
Hello everyone, I'm in the same situation as @Merlin513 so earlier I opened a new thread
@Merlin513 how were you able to install successfully that package?
Think you found your answer in the other thread about adding a requirements.txt file under python and then adding your python package to the file.
