Note: TEACHERS!!!! If you are going to use any of these lessons or labs, please let me know. I would really like to understand how you are using this material. I want to know what works, what does not work, what would you like me to add, and how I can make it better. If you changed something, let me know, because it's probably a good idea and you should share it with me, so I can add it and share with everyone else.
This Module or lesson is how I teach in my class. Many of the lessons might be specific to my class, but you could probably adjust them for your class. I'll try to make them a neutral as I can, so they can be used in any Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or any other Engineering / Technology class. Let me know how I can make that better. I'll try to keep this unit current and relevant. Please let me know if any resource links are broken or not accessible.

Caution & Safety Considerations:
Caution & Safety Considerations:
Primer: "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"
As with any activity, please make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment. If you are coding, writing, reading, or working a lab, make sure you stand up and stretch every hour or so, Please consider any safety issues connecting to a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, computers and other electronic equipment.

do list:
add instructions on setting aliases, so you can type "python" and it points to and runs python3
List specific tools and apps that the SO-101 needs just to start the install

Linux - LeRobot SO-101 - LAB #2 - 🛠️ LAB Activity
Start Here: https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/en/so101
Really Start Here: https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/en/installation
First hiccup is that I don't know anything about conda, and the virtualized/python virtual environment... so we need a lab/tutprial on that.
Lab on miniconda - https://www.anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/miniconda/install#quick-command-line-install
https://www.anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/miniconda/install#linux-terminal-installer
after wget the miniconda stuff, and running the .sh it asked if i want to have the conda activated on startup... I probably don't and probably want to run this as a shell or source when I'm running the robots, but I'm going to do it for now on the test Linux system.
Lab on running command: conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
is that the version of python I really want? my current python is 3.13.5
running conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
ToS - I have to accept the conda ToS.
these should get added to an sh
(base) r1@robot-rover:~$ conda tos accept --override-channels --channel https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main
accepted Terms of Service for https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main
(base) r1@robot-rover:~$ conda tos accept --override-channels --channel https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r
accepted Terms of Service for https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r
(base) r1@robot-rover:~$
now I can run conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
# To activate this environment, use
#
# $ conda activate lerobot
#
# To deactivate an active environment, use
#
# $ conda deactivate
when I activate it I go from the conda (Base) to the (lerobot) prompt
running all the instructions on https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/en/installation
I think I'm at the step on https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/en/so101
pip install -e ".[feetech]"

Last question? what do i need to do after I have exited and rebooted my laptop?

You should have a prompt: (base) r1@robot-rover:~$
Run the command: conda activate lerobot

🚀 Formative Quiz - 🔎 Review
🚀 Quiz -🔀 Mastery Path
🚀 Summative Quiz -✔️ Skills Mastery Check
Quiz - verify that they are all listed as a "Formative", "Mastery Path", or "Summative"
🚀 Formative Quiz - These are quizzes that the students can take a few times. I have them either set for unlimited times, or 3-5 times, where the final score is their average. The idea is that these Formative Quizzes are designed for students to learn and master a skill. while I want them to ger 100%, and when it's set to unlimited tries, the student should get 100% eventually. When the quiz is set to 3-5 tries with an average, then they should be prepared and should take the quiz seriously. I set the quiz to not show the right answer, but I do let them see their wrong answer. I also put the explanation of the right and wrong answer in the right and wrong answer prompt for each question. That way they can see why they got the answer wrong and learn from that experience.
8.1.0.3.2.4 - Python - Ch 3 - Functions - Quiz #2 -Built-In Functions - 🚀 Formative Quiz
🚀 Quiz -🔀 Mastery Path - These Mastery path quizzes are to be presented after the student has had a chance to do some labs and some Formative quizzes. The goal is to let students have 2 chances to take this quiz, and take the average of the 2 attempts. Based on the average, they will be presented with a Canvas Mastery Path, where they will have an option for take additional quiz and assignments to help with remediation. This will get them ready to take the Summative Quizzes.
8.1.0.3.3.1 - Python - Ch 3 - Functions - Mastery Quiz #1 - 🚀 Quiz -🔀 Mastery Path
🚀 Summative Quiz -✔️ Skills Mastery Check - These Mastery path quizzes are to be presented after the student has had a chance to do some labs and some Formative quizzes. The goal is to let students have 2 chances to take this quiz, and take the average of the 2 attempts. That will be their final module/subject topic grade.
