• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

for refrense
https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/jetbot/blob/master/notebooks/basic_motion/basic_motion.ipynb
is the assignment

and im just trying to install stuff to get started

[honest ridge]

Is this even python?

[craggy zenith]

aparently

😭

[timid jewel]

What is that file called and what command did you run?

[craggy zenith]

Untitled-1.py

[worn sonnet]

The file you currently have open in that screenshot is JSON, not Python.

[craggy zenith]

might make sense about all of my issues

[twin kindle]

it looks like a jupyter notebook

[worn sonnet]

That's just a configuration file defined using JSON.

[craggy zenith]

we went from spending months of learning binary to being given this and told its due friday

😭

[honest ridge]

Tough

[craggy zenith]

i actualy have no clue what im even supposed to do

[twin kindle]

you should ask them what you're meant to do

[timid jewel]

Are you following instructions somewhere? How did that file get opened and populated?

[craggy zenith]

all I have is the github link and the website and Im told to finish the basic part and my partner sent me this that is shown in screenshot and said "im dropping this class I couldnt care less about this tbh"

🫠

[timid jewel]

So, have you read through that link? Have you tried any of the commands listed there?

[craggy zenith]

yea and i just get errors I looked it up and it said its because i dont have somthing installed so Im trying to figure that out rn

[timid jewel]

Can you share that specific error? What you shared above is not what you're talking about now

[vagrant gate]

That looks like a notebook file.

[craggy zenith]

the error is when I type stuff in it isnt connecting to the robot it doesnt say anything in vs but the robot doesnt move even tho it says it has connection

[timid jewel]

I thought you said the error wasn't having something installed?

[craggy zenith]

yea thats what gbt said when I looked it up

[timid jewel]

So you didn't get an error, it's just that the robot is not moving?

[craggy zenith]

yea

gbt says its due to not having proper stuff installed

[timid jewel]

Can you share what the current file you're running looks like?

[vagrant gate]

I think that file should have an extension of .ipynb, and if you have Jupyter support installed, it will display very differently

(oh, it is .ipynb)

[craggy zenith]

i gave up on what my partner started and im starting new currentlywith this

[timid jewel]

That file is not saved. What exactly are you running?

[craggy zenith]

that i was clicking the run python file button

[vagrant gate]

(I can't believe VSCode will create files named "from jetbot import Robot.py" 🙁 )

[timid jewel]

So, you need to save the file and you should give it a better name than what it is currently saved as

[craggy zenith]

i gave it a more fitting name

[timid jewel]

So, the jetbot has documentation for how to work with it. Have you read through that?

Like have you read through this? https://jetbot.org/master/examples/basic_motion.html

[craggy zenith]

i feel very dumb now

thank you guys lol
