Good Morning from my Robotics Lab! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I have a small, but important step completed. Let’s get started! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tutorial I’ve been following gave me a hiccup after compilation. I had a passing difficulty when the commands I was copying used A different version number for an ls command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other than that, I had a little drama copying some expected output as a command, and when I did get the correct version number and file name in the command, there were a mismatch witha number or two. I figured it was just because of the version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, the tutorial had me test everything by running Python in the virtual environment, import OpenCV, and have it report its version. I was so relieved when it gave something back that didn’t resemble an error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going forward, I think the next, big milestone needs to be turning on an external light when it sees my cat in the frame. Setting this goal opens up a slew of smaller goals: connecting an LED to the external pins; learning and implementing basic elements in the OpenCV API; setting up such a program to run from either a single command, an icon, or bootup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that, it I should probably set it up as a VNC server and place it in its rightful position where it can start learning the difference between naughty cat on the counter and hungry human in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This project feels like it’s gone on ar least ten times longer than I expected. It’s good to have a small victory for once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final question: How do you keep track of progress in long projects?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
