no, it was just the board.

what was the assignment?

I think he thought is was more like a rasberry pi.

he just wanted us to do something with them. he didn't really give us any tasks... but it was years ago, so I don't care too much.

oof

yeah he must have thought it was like RPi

DEAR GOD I ACTUALLY GOT IOMMU TO WORK AFTER LITERALLY 9 HOURS, ATLEAST 4 OF WHICH INVOLVED PATCHING A NVIDIA GPU BIOS TO RUN WITHOUT VFIO LOCKING ENTIRELY BY MYSELF AND I ACTUALLY UNIRONICALLY WANT TO DIE

been awhile @z80

PS arduino is much more fun than Rasfairy Bi

buy a starter kit

We recommend the ones from Elegoo

or just buy a tank chassis and control kit

Yeah, I'll take a look at them. All we got was the board and the power cable... which i'll have to find.

With just a board. . . you could print messages to the Serial Monitor on your PC
thats all i can think of

oh but you can use it to power other small devices, you just need some wires and shit. you can even charge your phone with it

Let us know if you have any questions

sweet, thanks.

I'm actually having issues right now trying to use the root account on one of my VMs.

I coulda swore I remembered the root password, but its still complaining about it.

sounds like your problem might involve linux being gay

ever had issues with Debian?

Nope I only use Linux via Raspian and I dont like it and I dont like Raspberry Pis very much because of it

I mostly only use my RPi to remotely upload code to my Arduinos <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>

I can tell you that I've been absolutely fucking reamed by very similar issues and that I have not solved them yet. 😂 🔫

I want to make the switch to just linux... but my god is it ever a pain in the ass.

you need windows booted at all times just to google how to fix linux

kek

not even a joke

i know, cause youre in a VM 😄

and i use it on RemoteDesktop

honestly, I made a separate partition for it on my computer, but I couldn't get my usb drive to show up on the boot screen, so I just gave up and am just using a VM now.

I spent half a day downloading different software and trying different methods to get it to work.

did you go into BIOS?

yeah, and I took a look at the settings in there, and sometimes it would show, but wouldn't actually go to the ISO, and other times it wouldn't show at all

weird. ive never dualbooted it because im afraid it will destroy my windows install somehow

i would really use backup computers for all that shit

you just have to make sure you have another empty partition and that you are sure thats the partition you're installing it to.

diskpart can do that easily enough

Raspian wont let me do any writes to USB drives through terminal, even with Sudo

wtf?
