I am passionate about tinkering with electronics and building robots! I am disabled and somewhere on the spectrum. I am neurodivergent.
I finally got fed up having to look at my P1S that still will not work for me. Even with the new AP board installed, it will not connect to my WiFI, even after I got a new router from my ISP. I had it for over a year and did not get 900 hours of use on it.
I sent it away!

Building W.A.L.T.E.R., Part 2
I had a bad L298N motor controller, so I swapped the bad one for my other new one. Now, the motors both turn. I have also wired up the encoders and am starting to work with them. This is new to me, so...

I am working on the drive electronics for W.A.L.T.E.R. I am transferring all the signals to a different L298N motor controller. I hope this will fix the motor control problems. This is why I try to buy more than one of each component I use. The new L298N motor controller is on the left.

Only Claude and Gemini have been able to give me clean code - i.e., it compiles cleanly in Arduino IDE v2.3.6. In each case, I have had to paste error messages back into my conversation, but I have always ended up with clean code.
Now, I have to analyze all of it. 😉😉

I have been doing a lot of experimenting with artificial code generators - Claude, Gemini, and Grok. I have been generating starter Arduino sketches for a robot I am building.
I have narrowed my selections down to Claude or Gemini. Grok just does stupid stuff and gets errors it should not get.

I have started experimenting with letting Claude, Gemini, and Grok generate code for an Arduino sketch I will use to control a Mecanum robot I am building. Claude and Gemini both generated a full sketch that meets my requirements. The code from both compiles cleanly.

I have the hardware stack built for my Super Pi 5! I just need two more FPC cables longer than what I have to connect the PCIe Switch HAT to the Pi 5's PCIe connector and from the AI Kit to the Switch HAT. I already have the SSD/PoE HAT connected to the switch.
