During lab
l Two group members assembled the robot while
another one set up raspberry pi.
l We wrote the Raspbian system into TF card
and used Putty to SSH our pi, the Raspbian desktop appeared successfully. We
also tested the pi camera such as taking pictures and recording videos.
Problem and solution
l When we assembled the robot, we broke the
wire of one of the motors accidently. This accident is solved by borrowed a
soldering iron and soldered it. We didn’t test the function of our robot yet
since we forgot to order batteries.
l We met a lot of problems when we used
raspberry pi at the first time. In the beginning, we SSH pi via network cable,
and we had to find the pi’s IP address from command prompt since it changed its
terminal every time we restart it. Because of that, we tried to connect our pi
via Wi-Fi but didn’t make it. We would try to solve it next week.
l We also cannot detect pi camera although
the camera had been enabled. We first checked the little connector on the
camera board between the camera and the board and made sure the hardware is fine.
Then we updated and upgraded all the module we could and it finally worked.
