Monday Update

The package has finally arrived! So what now? 1. Reinstall new RaspPi system and connect to all of the IO devices 2. Troubleshoot BN055 sensor 3. Play with BN055 sensor *very important* 4. Organize things better (including reworking the 'station' attached to the board)

Weekly Update

1. The delivery time for IMU sensor was delayed yet again. Hopefully, will get it by Monday and show some coolness! 2. ModernGL seems challenging, but I'm finally getting a hang of it! 3. ARC Challenge just ended with some impressive results! If you don't know what it is, definitely check it out and get all nervous about AI. 4. Reading a Deep Learning with Python book written by the infamous François Chollet . Yes, I'm also confused about the book cover. Very good overview of ML. Oh yeah, if you want some Twitter spiciness - check the author out.

Short > Long

Haha! What does that mean? It's my funny way of saying that the short code is (usually) better than the long one. Why am I saying this? Installing and figuring out OpenGL was a pain in the butt, but after some additional searching, I have found ... Drumroll ... ModernGL ! Update: WOW! This is what I'm talking about! Amazing smooth performance! Really impressive! Next up: Longboard model ;)

Near Future

I have just ordered a (hopefully better) Absolute Orientation Sensor with 9 Degrees of Freedom (or DOF for short) from Pishop.us, and other things, like adapters, wireless accessories and ... something else. Anyway, it's going to take a couple of days for it to arrive, which means I to find need something else to do in the meanwhile, which brings me to my next update: I'll be learning OpenCV. I've heard about it a bunch since as a Python developer, images and GUI were always a sketchy thing, so hopefully they won't be anymore. See you in the future!

Defective Sensor

I was really excited to finally get the MPU9250 sensor from Amazon after they have screwed up my order big time. Then I spent 2 days trying to figure out my accelerometers didn't work. I've tried everything. And when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING . All of the possible tutorials, all variations of the sensor, all of the discord discussion servers, even tried on Arduino. GEE-ZUZ! Basically, the sensor turned out to be defective. :) Update: Drove to MicroCenter since they claimed to have potential replacement sensors, which as you can probably guess weren't there. The whole store was a mess, looked as if employees were raiding the store.
