This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.
"If I went into everything, it would be a 20 minute video" - total running time 20:16 - yeah good job 😀😀😀
Yeah, I thought about cutting that prediction out, but I figured someone might find it funny.
I have been interested, yet intimidated by pi, but now I think from watching this video, I will actually breakdown and buy this kit so I can finally learn and expand. Thanks Kent, again, your videos are wonderfully informative.
Very cool kit. That whole hold down the button while plugging in the USB is why I've come to love the usb hubs that have on/off switches per port. Hold the button with one hand and turn the port on with the other.
It is wonderful that the Pico is still available, unlike the Pi and CM4 modules. It may just be a matter of time before industry finds a killer app for these. Have made a 5-stepper 3d printer (klipper) controller from one.
May be worth your time to glue/solder a reset button on the surface, to avoid all the power cycling.
Tesla autonomous driving better look out!
That bumper car reminds me of my old Lego Mindstorms RCX kit (the one with the yellow brick). It somehow feels like we've gone full circle with a new generation of hardware and software. It looks like a lot of fun.
I have almost the same car beside me with 2 pieces of acrylic and 4 motors. I have it on standoffs as a long-term test bot for a much nicer one I have for when I integrate all the different sensors. It's a cool kit
Wow~Thanks For Sharing Our Elecrow Raspberry Pi Pico Advanced Kit, I Love Your Creation🤩❤
Do you have a kit with the Raspberry Pi Pico W?
Asking the right question to the right people!
hello this is a great kit. good presentation 👍👏👋
Merci!
I m just now ordering this kit. If i had seen this video before hand i would have seen if you had a link.
Nice kit! Santa?! 🎅🏼
Just received my kit. And the Pico is missing! The IR receiver module is missing. And the Vibration Sensor is bent. Recommend anyone buying this to make sure to do a detailed check of the items in the kit as soon as they receive it. You won't want to get caught out
I am not in favor of this Pico, but I still do like the video.
Nice video and who wouldn't build the car first 🙂 and you can get the pi-pico W now with wireless
That kit is pretty good value for money I think.
And if one has reached its limits with µ-Python (😅) , Arduino runs just as good on the pico ;)
Builds programmable car
"It's definitely a kit you get a lot of mileage out of."
Seriously, considering one lesson is a line follower, how many of those modules could you add and program it to do things like sense flames and sound an alarm over WiFi or Bluetooth plus give location data?
Neat kit.
Would you mind doing a few of the included lessons, then give a review of how well it communicates the concept and w
How easy it was to follow?
There's a link to the lessons and the manual in the description of this video.
I found them quite easy to follow. They start with the basics and build up from there.
"QA Pass" on the silkscreen on the character LCD...
As is standard for a lot of the cheap generic modules from Shenzen.
@@pileofstuff I think it's the first time I've seen it right on the silkscreen.
If you can read it, the silkscreen printing passed the QA test ...
I have this kit, but haven’t even opened it. I guess I should. LOL
I did not see a CD for 32 lessons. How did you get the 32 lessons for the kit? Do you need to download it?
On product page (at the bottom of the page) you have two links one to manual (pdf), second to zip file with source code for lessons.
It's on the product page, and I also put a link in the description of this video.
And there is a QR code in the package that also takes you to it.
I could not get either of the links to work and a search by name did not get any results on EBay or Banggood. Was able to find it on Amazon, but for almost $100.
Not sure what to say. I just re-tested them on 2 devices and they both work for me.
Anyone else having problems with the links?
@@pileofstuff Links work fine for me. Maybe Fred's browser doesn't like the redirect?
@@strayling1 Thanks for checking.
Your supposition is a solid possibility.
Did the pi come with the pins soldered on or just a bare board?
The pins were already soldered.
@@pileofstuff Thanks, I will order 2!
I'd rather use CircuitPython (a fork of MicroPython by Adafruit for more simple coding) for this, but L32 has me interested - I made a BT-controlled Arduino Uno robot already, but I want to do more with robotics.
