The title is a bad sewing joke, sorry, not sorry. I had to skip Mr. McWhorter's lesson on controlling servos because I don't have one, yet. I really want to learn how to do that. I can see myself using them in all kinds of projects one day. I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to do these kinds of things at home. Back in the day, these kinds of projects would have been hard without major equipment and expensive for me. Not to mention, I had no idea where to get parts and now they're just a click away.
I'm going on to the next lesson
on You Tube: Raspberry Pi LESSON 29: Using GPIO pins as Inputs and Reading them in Python. So we need buttons for inputs instead of the keyboard. My little Elegoo electronics fun kit came with 10 small buttons. Fortunately, I have small hands. Here's my RPi, wired up and ready to go.
I watched the video, typed in the code and it worked! Woot!
I controlled a printout on the screen with buttons I wired to the RPi! Such little achievements are good for the soul.
