On April 23, 2018 we switched Jak's brain from a Raspberry Pi Zero to using the Raspberry Pi 3 B+. The 3 B+ provides for the following:
- A faster processor (1.4GHz Cortex-A53 with 1GB RAM)
- Ability to connect to the network for software updates and VNC remote connection
- Four USB inputs
- Sound and video output
- HDMI output
- WIFI
- Bluetooth
Raspberry Pie Zeros are used with the Quad-Pods to explore both learning about servos and learning about the Linux Operating System that runs on the Raspberry Pi systems.

By accessing the raspberry pi in the computer:
- First, open the config.txt file in notepad++
- Then in the bottom of the document paste the following line of code:
- dtoverlay=dwc2
- Save
- Then in the bottom of the document paste the following line of code:
- Next, open the file named cmdline.txt in Notepad++
- Inside of the file look for the word "rootwait"
- Directly after "rootwait" paste the following code:
- modules-load=dwc2,g_ether
- Check if there is only ONE space before and after the added line of code
- Save
- Lastly, create a new blank document in Notepad++
