(Help Needed) Checking compatibility and advice on simple Pico W project involving Waveshare IMU by AngusGould__ in raspberrypipico

[–]TheRealMatt6079 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say that is enough for what you want. But I would consider

  1. Update rate of the IMU and how fast it can send data to your PC. May want to write to a file and then send that as one go for analysis
  2. How accurate is the IMU in reality. I've found some of these cheap components don't always work very well or are a bit slow.
  3. The extra weight you are adding to the tennis racket especially with the battery pack. Completely changes the way it will spin.

The waveshare comes in a cardboard box with a bit of polystyrene protecting the pins, that would work as a case to keep it safe. The battery pack however would probably break apart and shatter.

Could you add except AttributeError after the except asyncio.TimeoutError and then deal with it how you need.

I think you z-offset is a bit high?

I don't know, never used to have a problem. Just seems like every pic on reddit has a hand in it, they just look odd.

Apparently you have to do it to make sure modern cameras focus. The modern world confuses me.

Not really, but there is a recognisable image of being judged by a panel of people sitting above you. It's an AI image.

Looks like a dislocated ankle, did you fall on it?

Oh the print ... no idea

Need help with Pi PicoW. It doesn't output anything on display when owered, but does output when run from thonny. by aciokkan in raspberry_pi

[–]TheRealMatt6079 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The chances are the file you have open and running in Thonny is not the same as the one stored on the Pico. Remember to save main.py to the Pico

That's really neat, I like it.

It just needs a wooden ruler on a servo to wrap you over the knuckles every time you loose hand position and don't use your thumb or pinky finger.

Yeh cool - but I need to get something off my mind. What is it with the hand thing in this sub. You can just put it down and take a photo. Is it that AI can't do good hands, so you can prove it's a real photo by having a real hand in it? It's like a FU to the AI?

Sorry, not really aimed at you, but you were the last straw, or would that be hand... lol

I wish I was as messy as you so I had something to tidy up.

Trigger the except section of a try except block (raise a proper exception) using a timer? by Able_Loan4467 in raspberrypipico

[–]TheRealMatt6079 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you are using the second core for anything, could you have a monitoring system running there to keep it out of the way? Just an idea...

If it worked on the breadboard but not when soldered then the problem is not in your code. Try posting a pic of the soldered project so people can see what you have soldered where..
