Code Update

Heyyyyy!

Sorry for the super late update, but ayyy, we're back at it again. Last time we left off, I was trying to figure out some coding issues and had a lot going on with it.

I actually made some changes to the types of microcontrollers I'll be using. Well, sorta—I'll just be adding an extra one to the mix. I really thought I could run the other components for moving the turret and the camera on one microcontroller, but that's not the case. I've now given the camera its own microcontroller to work from, an ESP32 WROOM, so this will be my second microcontroller. The Arduino will handle the other parts of this.

Here’s some of the code I've developed so far. I wish I had more progress, but I've been researching a lot and juggling many other things. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

I’ve been taking notes on how to first shoot video from this camera, and then next, pick up the faces of people. I’m planning to have all this done by this Friday—well, the video shooting for sure, and we'll see about the face scanning. This is the update I really wanted to share, and I'll include the update with the AutoCAD stuff this Saturday or Sunday.

Thank you so much for sticking with me, and LET’S GOOOO PLUS ULTRA!

Yes, I’ve been watching a lot of My Hero Academia too. But take care, guys!
