Good afternoon I bought it in Spain, via Amazon, all good, I arrived and already input failures in the armed and screws, not to mention the installation program after 7 attempts works, only that there is no video. I'm still trying, I'm new to this, but I have some handling. The truth is that I am disappointed.
Nor tell them that Addept do not respond or an email. not even in the forum of Them.
The truth would be good to improve or if a couple more attempts does not work ask for a refund.

regards

PD: Now I'm in Argentina, we'll see how Amazon and Adeept behave

the version of openCV and the version of Python installed in your PC should be the same, or you need to uninstall python(and the libraries) and install python 3.7+, then install opencv_python‑4.0.1‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl again( do not install other version of opencv )

for the ws_2812 problems, you may need to install rpi_ws281x in your raspberry pi
sudo pip3 install rpi_ws281x

remember that the ws_2812 leds will not work if you turn your SPI on, try "sudo raspi-config" and turn SPI down(SPI is off by default)

One problem I had was that " /home/Adeept_PiCar-B/server/server.py" had to be all lower case.  The instructions were incorrect.  You'll need to rename the folder Adeept_PiCar-B to all lower case and change the reference in the [Desktop Entry]

I have followed the instructions from the documentation for the set up, but the client software does not connect. It tries 5 times then quits. Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

Thank you for the lowercase tip. I changed the directory name in the car.desktop file in autostart directory and now the server launches automatically.
All is good for me video, etc..
now I need to work on all these reverse actions, and improve the voice recognition. I have a lot of fun improving and learning. I did't buy Cozmo because I wanted to play with the screw driver, documentations and python. That's exactly what I get with this rover

The server is not lauched or you gave a wrong IP address.
Try to log into the raspberry pi and launch the server.py script by hand. like:

sudo python3 /home/pi/Adeept_PiCar_B/server/server.py

then launch the client.py on your PC and try to connect.
If it works, do what I did, rectify the uppercase issues in the car.desktop file.
