Hi, I just started assembling my new Trilobot.
Question: what Raspi OS to use? In one place the home page says: Bookworm, in another it’s said: Bookworm does NOT work on Trilobot.
What is the right OS?

It looks like the product page is slightly out of date - there was a PR last year that enabled Bookworm support, by the looks of it.
But Bookwork support has not been tested, right?
You say the product page is outdated. Is there any better page?
All I can tell you is that the readme on the repository that says “We’d recommend using this library with Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm or later.” probably more accurately reflects the state of the actual code than the product page.
I can see this PR that specifically adds Bookworm support, and I assume that was tested before it was merged.
Bookworm broke a lot of things, so that warning note had to get onto a lot of product pages; I would guess the “take that warning off” step just got lost in the mix.
Personally, I’d follow the repo README and try it with Bookworm - worst case scenario is that it doesn’t work and you can try again with an earlier OS but all the signs are good.
OK, thanks for this valuable info.
