This week we've done a few things to advance our progress in our project. One thing we did was replace our camera because we discovered that our previous camera was not compatible with the Jetson nano. We also now know how to turn on a LED light and decided to move away from making an app and instead focusing on just making one working version for now. We have also developed a python code much more from last week however we are having some trouble making the AI itself.

We are also making the housing for the LED, the jetson nano, and the camera using this website https://www.festi.info/boxes.py/ and we are also trying to make our own box using and application called sketchup.

Update 5/4/23: We were told not to use SketchUp and instead moved to using TinkerCad to 3d model our housing box. We also starting review our rubric.

This is our new camera:

This is code for the LED to blink:

On the left side is python code which when given 6 numbers can turn it into a date. For example 06 23 08, the 23rd of june, 2008. On the right side is more code for the LED:

This is our date converter code using python. When given numbers it outputs a date.
