Code Club 20/1/2024 Write up
We seem to be heading off at a tangent with code club, however today we carried on with building a robot car, and another group were starting work on a 12 in 1 robot kit.
Elsewhere, we installed Ubuntu on a netbook and had a look at the Sony Laptop, which now dual boots with Ubuntu and has all the various hardware drivers working.
We do however want to get back to coding at Code Club and ensure STEM group is reserved for some of the project work.
Next code club is on 3rd Feb 2024

So we had a busy session today, the Viglen PC I took down is now tested and working, we just need to put it all back together fully.
The Motherboard we had in the STEM cupboard is also now tested and working, so we need a case for this so we can put it all together, install an OS and start using it.
We also had a look at a DIY F1 car project that one of the attendees wants to try and build. We need a few more parts for this, but with help, the project is doable.
Also did the more coding, in Scratch and Python.

Some of the larger breadboards have power rails that may not be connected, or you may want to put 2 normal size breadboards side by side and clip them together.
In this instance, it is useful to bridge the two sections or boards so the power rails run the full length.
The above illustrates how to do this.

Where to get electronics parts from:
I have ordered from a company called Banggood. These links are just a guide, you can more than likely find good offers on the website.
