Devlog #5 Tinker cad and wiring 🖥️

I completely overhauled my 3d model because it was too big to 3d print 😅. My new design is more like a skeleton with 12 parts once it is assembled, I will be able to slide panels into the top to add walls
I also finally got my wires and started figuring out how the wiring will work🔌

Devlog #5

It’s been a while since the last time I did a devlog and I have done a ton of stuff so here is a list

• learned to Sodder🧠
• Soldered a board 🛠️
• figured out how to get my raspberry pi on the monitor💻
• figured out how to run code on the raspberry pi 📝
• and figured out I need female to female wires to actually wire anything 😅

##I am super proud of myself for learning how to Sodder I was lowkey so scared of the soldering iron
I have some questions though ⬇️

1. how does one change their flipflopping profile pic 🤬
2. what color should I make the outside of the vending machine 🤔
3. what is a git commit 🤔
4. what is your favorite color 😁

Devlog #5 I Finished the Tinker cad 🎉🎉🎉 Okay So, I have been planning on 3d printing the outside of the vending machine but then I realized I don’t have a 24-inch tall 3d printer. But I was not going to let that stop me, so I came up with this design. basically, I just cut it into thirds and then added things so they can snap together. Either way I have some questions feel free to answer them in the comments ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 1. how do you change your profile picture?‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2. ‎how do you make spaces between paragraphs my enter key does not work so I have to use invisible characters ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 3.

Devlog-4 I Finally Got my raspberry pi to work and I am so happy it took so much time. At least that’s the only time I will have to do that. I was so flipping confused I searched up the manual, but it was so confusing. Mostly because I had no idea what half the words meant but either way I Flipping did it🥳🥳🥳🥳.

Devlog #3
So, I have not worked on my project in a while now because I got sick and other reasons, but I still found time to work on it. Firstly <–(is that a word?) I finished the circuit design and added buttons to my code. Then I checked my phone and my package had arrived! I had waited two whole weeks for these and they finally arrived. it was sprinkling outside but I thought nothing of it and started my journey to the mailbox with an umbrella and plastic bag. In the span of about 30 seconds the weather had changed from sprinkling to a thunderstorm with wind so strong my feet were almost lifted of the ground. I made it to my mailbox when I realized I had no idea which mailbox was mine though trial and error I had found ours I stuffed the mail in the bag and started the hike back home. this all happened while I was sick in a tee-shirt and shorts, but I got the parts which is all that matters.

Devlog #2
I am still trying to make a 24 in tall mini vending machine
Today I made part the circuit in Circuit designer and I think it came out pretty good. I also made it so that when the vending machine is out of an item the servo resets so that you can refill it. I spent a ton of time trying to figure out how you can add to the angle of the servo before figuring out you can just add a + in front of it.

Devlog #1
I am trying to make a 24-inch-tall mini vending machine.

I started off making the design on paper I decided i was going to use a razberry pi 6 servos and one of those things that connects a ton of servos. I ordered all my parts and was off. I don’t really know how to make stuff or even code in python so this will be an adventure (;

I started by figuring out what to code on and it took me a whopping 5 hours to get vs code to work with hackatime. first, I gave Hackatime all my personal info and then it told me to use PowerShell. I had no idea what PowerShell was and had to use that to initialize hackatime. then it told me to make a GitHub account, so I had to figure out what GitHub is, but I persevered and finally got it to work. Now looking back on it I could have easily set it up in 30 minutes if I knew how too.

Questions
1 what do you guys use to make 3d models of your designs
2 how do I change my profile picture it won’t let me ):
