- The parts we ordered last week came so I was able to start building our robot cars. We got 2 different frames (one with a chassis kit and one with individual parts); we wanted to compare the motors and movement of both builds. I built one car, connecting the NodeMCU and L293D IC motor controller.
- Started coding in the Arduino IDE but my OS version was not compatible so I used the Beta version but it kepy crashing
- I was able to get some motor functions but it was not consistent
- Decided to look directly controlling the motors through MicroPython to skip the intermediate step
- Installed the device drivers for the microcontrollers to be recognized
- Running into issues connecting to the correct serial port of my NodeMCU using MicroPython
- Progress is as expected
