Spring 20266 attended

3:00 PM – 7:00 PM

  • Got Raspberry Pi OS working
  • Got Thonny working
  • Downloaded major PiCrawler files
  • Prepared for future PiCrawler leg attachment and calibration
  • Installed VS Code and Arduino IDE
  • Built multiple LED circuits with random blink intervals
  • Used a pushbutton to control LEDs
  • Continued electronics organization
  • Prepared and sent another purchase list to the faculty contact

Original meeting note

Got Raspbian working along with Thonny (IDE) and all of the major files for the PiCrawler downloaded; Michaela is the goat. Now all we have to do is get the legs attached next time, calibrate them with the console, and should be able to start running code on it! Kyle and Justin got VS Code and the Arduino IDE installed and got multiple lights to blink at random intervals and had a push button control them and we almost sorted all of the electronics items into baggies and respective bins. Made another list for purchases and sent it over to Professor Chandler, hopefully it gets cleared so we have even more stuff to work on over summer and can prepare for the fall semester.
