and i wanna make a low-res display out of LEDS
Do you have any ideas for things you can do with just an arduino?
I got one for my grade 11 compsci class, but I had no idea how to code so I couldn't do anything with it. I know some basics for it now though, but I haven't gotten around to doing anything with it since.
i cant think of much you can do with only an arduino and no components
... no wonder we all failed that class
we didn't have any components.
do you have a starter kit of little modules?
no? damn
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
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?
