Ha, Ha, it's spring 2025, Wait... No It's Fall 2025... This is what I said in 2024... "I'm working on this module, but it's not at the top of my priority list. That's because I have passed this section in my class this year, or we have not got to it yet... either way, I'm way behind." ALSO my ADHD and ability to fucus on projects because other "shiny" projects keep getting in the way does not help... If you wanted to help shape my priorities, you could connect with me here on my "How To Support My Curriculum Development" page

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.

VIAM Rover and Robots
VIAM Rover and Robots
Viam is the modern robotics platform.
VIAM brings the revolutionary power of modern software to computers that interact with the physical world.
Whether you are building a robot, an IOT device, or an industrial automation system, with VIAM you can go from paper, to prototype, to production, to scale in record time.
Unify hardware & software prototyping
VIAM provides a single interface to configure robots and expose APIs. Common hardware is abstracted into types such as ‘motor’ or ‘arm’. Hardware engineers simply select the model they’re using, and VIAM automatically configures their robot. Viam supports hundreds of common drivers and provides an SDK to easily create additional drivers. Each piece of hardware can be independently changed, and every robot automatically updates its configuration. Once configured, you can test hardware in VIAM’s control UI, and software engineers immediately have intuitive APIs to start writing code.

VIAM Rover and Server Setup
Install a Raspberry Pi 64 bit OS:
I recommend you install the Desk Top Version, so you can play with the Raspberry Pi as a Full OS desktop and even KVM
Verify and update all the Localization settings
Verify the following Interfaces are set: ssh, vnc, I2C, Serial Port, Serial Console & 1 wire
This Set Raspberry Pi Preferences shell script update the following:
Sets the local to US, US keyboard, and time zone to America/Los_Angeles.
Turns on the following interfaces: SSH, VNC, I2C, Serial and 1-Wire
wget -O rpi_set_preferences.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jimTheSTEAMClown/RaspberryPi/master/rpi_set_preferences.sh
chmod 744 rpi_set_preferences.sh
When you run this script it will make the interface and changes above and then reboot
./rpi_set_preferences.sh
Update and Install tools and software:
Get some Shell Scripts and in a Pi console window run the following commands
Just check you know where you are... cd to a working directory you want to do all your Viam work in.
cd ~
pwd
ls -l
Copy and run this script which will pull down 2 other shell scripts to setup your Raspberry Pi and then setup the VIAM server.
wget -O new-pi-64bit-build-prep.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jimTheSTEAMClown/VIAM-Party-Rover-0/main/new-pi-64bit-build-prep.sh
chmod 744 new-pi-64bit-build-prep.sh
Run the shell script new-pi-64bit-build-prep.sh. It will copy more shell scripts that update the tools and apps that are required or recommended for a new viam rover build.
./new-pi-64bit-build-prep.sh
This will take a few minutes to run. It's probably running update, upgrade for the first time
If you want to run everything and not worry about what is getting installed, you can run this wget instead
wget -O new-build.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jimTheSTEAMClown/VIAM-Party-Rover-0/main/new-build.sh
chmod 744 new-build.sh
./new-build.sh
ls -l
The shell script rover_image_build_64bit.sh will update and upgrade, then install some apps and tools like curl, git, and the Arduino tools. Other might be installed to, so check the latest version of this shell found on my github site - rover_image_build_64bit.sh
The shell script viam-new-setup.sh will update and upgrade, then install the needed viam tools and apps, including the viam-server. Other might be installed to, so check the latest version of this shell found on my github site - viam-new-setup.sh
./rover_image_build_64bit.sh
./viam-new-setup.sh
Now go to the Viam Rover site: https://app.viam.com/robots

go to https://app.viam.com/robots and log into your viam account to see your robots
select or create a Rover - In my case, I have Party_Rover-0
if you need to run to following on your Rover's Raspberry Pi
sudo curl -H "Secret: xnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxn" "https://app.viam.com/api/json1/config?id=be17bc44-ea90-4038-bb8b-88f4215053ae&client=true" -o /etc/viam.json

Mechatronics Engineering - VIAM Rover / Robot - Labs: Driving in a square (SDK)
Lesson 1 - Installing the VIAM SDK
Follow the instructions found https://python.viam.dev/
I'm trying this on the Raspberry PI that is my VIAM Rover... we will see if that is an appropriate Linux platform to to run the viam-sdk
Install the Viam-SDK
pip install viam-sdk
Or if you have it already installed run pip install -U viam-sdk
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
TO DO: I want to add some steps for running a source script to setup the path, start your viam-server and stuff, like checking that your viam-server is running..
Now in a browser, navigate to app.viam.com. and in your organization find your rover you want to work with and select it. If your robot raspberry Pi is live, and you have run the viam-server setup before, it should auto start the server and will connect after a min of selecting the robot.

🚀 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.
