Life with Deep Racer - Part 2

 An Update on AWS Deep Racer

OK, so AWS Summit Sydney has been run and won.  Not by us however, but there are few interesting tidbits to report:

The console is now widely available

This is actually pretty big news, because:
  • The console ties together Robomaker, SageMaker and everything else you need in a convenient package
  • There are actual examples of functions included
  • It seems to stay running now

There is new firmware for the car

Also important; this includes a rolling update for the Ubuntu base as well as the Deep Racer specific bits.  WiFi connection seems more reliable now as well.

Our car has a new look

Since my employer (Versent) was generous enough to send me to Re:Invent last year (where I got the Deep Racer), I thought it appropriate to deck it out in the company colours, and it was well-received at Summit last week.

Recording weather with Arduino, Elasticsearch and Kibana

-
What do half a Bunnings weather station, an Arduino, a NodeMCU (or 3), Elasticsearch, a fishtank and swimming pool have to do with each other? Nothing unless you like to monitor and measure pretty much everything around the house.  I do, and ever since I learned to fly, I have had a fascination with the weather (I am told boaties suffer from a related affliction). I could just buy a weather station, but where's the fun in that when for the same amount of money (OK, maybe a little more) I can make my own and bore people senseless when I go on and on about it? Actually, there is a practical purpose to this as well.  I wanted to teach myself about Elastic and Kibana.  Now you can wade through dry tutorials, but nothing in my opinion beats working with real live data.  Especially if the data is of interest to you. The design What do you want to measure? This is actually pretty important (not to mention obvious), but before embarking too far; take a good hard look at what y

Life with Deep Racer - Part 1

My Deep Racer has finally arrived back in Australia There's a few things I have learned already, and I will share them as I go along. Charging the batteries Power The charger for the compute battery pack simply needs a 3-pin appliance cable to connect it to non-US power outlets.  Yes, you can use a plug adapter, but I find they get loose over time. The LiPo charger needs a 9V 0.5A plug pack.  The centre pin is positive.  There is a considerable power drain on the CPU battery even when the module is off.  My advice is disconnect both batteries when not in use, because that big pack takes a long time to charge. Tail light colours Note that these colours might vary depending on the version of software you're running.  When I first unpacked it, there were no lights at all. Red - Something is wrong.  The usual cause is failure to connect to WiFi.  The official documentation lists some troubleshooting tips Blue - Connecting to the WiFi network Green - Re

Exploring Solar Power - Where do I begin?

I've got a new shed... And even though it's wired for power, my 16x9m shed is going to be powered as much as possible from solar panels and batteries.  Given that I have more than a few computers and radios in there, this is going to be a challenge. The house already has a set of panels and a big inverter, so this is really my own personal R&D project.  For safety, I am not attempting to connect my work to the house wiring, or feed into the grid.  I will be running separate wiring to power this gear. A note on safety Electricity is dangerous.  Contact with live wiring or components can be fatal.  I can't state this clearly enough, electric shocks can, and do kill people.  Batteries contain dangerous chemicals and can give off flammable gasses, which in a confined space can be explosive.  Connecting or disconnecting batteries can cause sparks, which could have very bad side effects. I will detail steps to mitigate these risks, but ultimately it is up to you to be careful
