STEM Group – Mar 9 2024 – write up

We had a fairly busy session today., We had an update from Helen on the advanced Lego robot, this can now find its way around the room better and has better turning control.

We did some more on the robot building, tried to flash a Nintendo DS with new firmware, I am not sure if this worked properly.

Furthermore, we also had Rob, who brought along his MacBook running Ubuntu, and we tried, downloading Raspbian, but there were a few issues with this and writing to an SD card. This can be fixed for the next meeting.

We also had a good discussion about projects Rob is working on, had a look at some of his previous work (well photos of).

We also got the PC that one of the attendees is working on, so this now needs an OS and some other work, then we should have a complete system. I will add the software needed to the Ventoy disk before the next meeting.

So in all, an interesting and productive meeting, we are slowly building up a good group of people.
