This week, I set up the Raspberry Pi 5. We realized the Raspberry Pi 5 kit we got didn’t include a micro SD card, so I placed an order for one, but in the meantime, I borrowed a friend’s micro SD card. Since the Raspberry Pi 5 doesn’t naturally support VS Code, I looked into remote-SSHing into the Raspberry Pi 5 to upload code and got that system working. Since I am mostly waiting on parts to arrive to continue working, I also looked more into the compatibility of other parts and more about the Teensy 4.1 firmware/manual pages. Due to the majority of my work needing to be done next week, I tried to offload some of the work by looking into any potential issues I might face ahead of time. I also presented the Design Presentation to the class and reviewed the feedback from the Q&A section we received.
Since this week is mostly dedicated to early software development and the Design Presentation, the hardware/firmware section I am working on is still on track for the project schedule.
Next week, I hope to build the basics for the robot car kit. I also hope to get the motors to start moving so that the car can move forward and backward, and potentially side to side or turning.
