AI on the Jetson Nano LESSON 1: Getting Started for Absolute Beginners

You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will help me keep my gear updated, and help me keep this quality content coming:

OK, now this is the gear I am using for my Jetson Nano project shown in today's video. Lots of folks have expressed interest in this project, so I will do a big tutorial series on it. It is good if we use identical hardware for the project, so links below will take you to the gear I am using. Make sure to get the V2 picam, which is what I linked to. The earlier picams will not work. Also, you can use USB keyboard and mouse if you do not want to spend for the wireless ones below.
Jetson Nano
amzn.to/2Z4SGG4
You need a GOOD power supply:
amzn.to/2yWKrkF
You need a GOOD SD card:
amzn.to/2Ktf8nT
I love this cool Acrylic case with fan:
amzn.to/2H4ar1R
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse that works with Jetson Nano:
amzn.to/2YWVkxu
I like to run with minimum wires, so I am running this wifi card, which works very well. If your budget is tight just use an Ethernet cable, as all my lessons will work with just an ethernet cable.
amzn.to/2H26b2R
Finally, you can use either a Logitech C920 WEB cam or the Pi Cam. I am using both, but you need at least one camera working with the nano:

Your video production is one of the best I have seen on KZbin, you don’t stop at reviews you take us through the journey. Really appreciate the process and attention to detail.

[@stefan2473z]

You really don't have to apologize for anything.. Your videos are just fantastic. I'm not even doing AI yet but just watching your vids gets me excited and hopeful!

Consice, professional and to the point tutorial 👌

[@paulmcwhorter]

I appreciate that!

[@data901]

I just got onboard with an AI project using the Jetson Nano. I not only need to understand AI, but we will be creating our own breakout board for the SoC so I'm very much looking forward to your series on this to get a better understanding of all of this. I've seen your videos before and their really good. Thanks for doing this.

[@paololazzarato5337]

By you I learn twice as fast as by others.

[@Mystic0Dreamer]

I'm catching up quick. I bought everything on your list plus a 22" HDMI monitor. I got everything up and running to the point in this video. No password required, single click machine, and WiFi is connected. I'm all set to move forward. I'm going to make a copy of this SD card image right now so my new SD card should already have all these modifications done. One to play with and one for A.I. lessons. The other one I'll be using for CAD and video production software. Thanks Paul. This is going to be a great series. I'm all in. I'll become a patreon member as soon as I recover from having bought all this stuff. I ended up spending $350 with the new HDMI monitor. I also bought a TF mini LED LIDAR unit that I'm hoping to play with too. So this $99 Jetson Nano ended up costing me $350. But it looks like it's going to be worth it. The 22" HDMI monitor I bought looks like it's going to be good for CAD.

[@drzwithcrow6075]

My Nano arrived today and the case and antennas a few days ago. So altogether now and ready to start the electrical bits. My case must be a little different - the side cutouts were identical and it didn't matter which side was which. Also, there were markings to indicate where the ports went and various other indicators, so assembly was far more straightforward - I would say the makers have listened to feedback. The bolts to hold the fan simply didn't fit however, and after a bit of looking around found that one fan kit sold uses self-tapping screws and another fellow simply used a M3 tap and tapped out the holes. I resorted to this option also, M3 5 pitch tap, and the screws went in sweet as. From the amount of aluminium removed, the screws were NEVER going in without tapping. The 'tap advisor' also mentioned avoiding getting aluminium filings were they didn't belong, so I tipped the Nano on its edge so the filings (tappings?) fell clear without the need for cleanup. One 'fault' with the acrylic case is that there is no spare acrylic on the corners, so tightening the corner screws to a good tension, I think, means the lifespan of at least one corner has been shortened considerably.

[@TheForbinone]

Superb first lesson, I am a qualified teacher and I cannot fault how you put this first tutorial together I now have a built Nano looking forward to lesson 2.

Whew, that was an accomplishment getting through lesson #1. I already did the "headless" boot (lession #4) on a laptop w/ wired ethernet and it was fun. Onto lession #2. Thanks Paul for a great series ahead. BTW, for those who got the B01 (type B) JN, no need to jump J48 (type A), the board already comes with the jumper in place for you.

[@bg31337]

Others may have a look again. When I got my B01 the jumper only sat on one pin. So I still had to bridge the two pins

[@christophervanheerden3858]

[@johnnam7225]

Thank you very much Paul. I am a your new youtube student . At the moment, I am learning the lession 25 and I had isome issue with the raspberry pi camera during study. I found the better way the camera installation. Do not need install the camera cable twist(possibility damage the camera and cable connection). install the camera without twist. during programing the flip = 6 will be no probem to me. the flip for camSet in python lessen, available flip = 0 ~ 7 ( 2 is rotate -180 degrees.... 6 is Flip vertically...) I am also new . New students, please try that... you don't need to twist the cable. I only can suggest new students of this experience. I always thank you to Paul. you are best!!!!

I was trying to configure a bluetooth speaker with my nano, using the Waveshare Wifi antenna kit you recommended. Wifi works just great, but the bluetooth/ubuntu configuration was over my head. Thankfully my monitor has an audio out jack and my regular speakers work fine so I can now watch the whole series on my Nano ubuntu machine!

[@Dieselfitter01]

All put together with the pi cam, wireless mouse and keyboard I picked up locally, WIFI works great also. Dont forget to put the jumper in when using the power adaptor. Logitech is being delivered tomorrow. I was able to get the image recognition going, pretty awesome stuff. took me quite a while as I have no idea about ubuntu. Cant wait for the lessons.

[@TheElectr0nicus]

Good Tip for avoiding those annoying Windows messages, when the SDCard filesystem is not recognized: Disable Autoplay on removable memory devices, and not even one message pops up. If autoplay is active, Windows tries to open the conneced memory device in the explorer and fails. Why it tries that 10+ times escapes my logic, but hey it's windows. And btw. even if I repeat many comments here: Extremely helpful and informative video. Some ppl may find it lengthy, but i highly appreciate how you show every detail of the process. Because sometimes if you are trying something new which you aren't familiar to, even small missing bits of information can send you on a timeconsuming jurney of finding the solution. With many false paths to follow of course. So thanks for your videos! Top content

Not sure why you do thou - whos got time to waste on building something backwards? Otherwise this info is invaluable and much gratitude, looking fwd to getting nano and rewatching with alittle fast fwding.

[@paulmcwhorter]

I do not edit my videos and leave my mistakes in. That is because the most important thing you can learn from me is how to troubleshoot and debut. I talk out loud, and let people see my thought process when I have made a mistake. It also teaches normal people that making mistakes, finding them, and fixing them is a normal and important part of engineering. So, I do not apologize for leaving mistakes in, there is a purpose to it.

Measured heatsink temp with fan in both positions (label visible or not). Heatsink temp : 29C with fan label visible; 26.8C with fan label towards heatsink (confirmed multiple times). Used sudo install lm-sensors hddtemp to measure temp. Fun experiment to see if fan position really matters - evidence supports the way fan is installed in the video. Thanks!

[@paulmcwhorter]

Glad we got that right. I was wondering if it matters but I can think a difference between sucking and blowing as far as getting heat off the heat sink

[@gplayer01]

Thanks for the info. Interesting that the company that makes that case has a video on how to install everything, and the fan is label side up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGHchoiqprB3nrc Lucky me...my fan came with the wrong connector...2 instead of the 4 pin connector. So a no go. Return in process.

Got the Xavier going. . Yea.. retired ;). Very good stuff this! No jumper needed. A few hiccups. #1 wifi plugs were mildly difficult issue and one broke .. ordered new plastic case with new plugs. Other less critical issues like proper HDMI adapter ... old VGA to HDMI did not work, making me think everything was broken when in fact it was just the video interface. Very excited to work through your tutorials!

[@someolddude3858]

I purchased the acrylic case and fan combo you suggested. I noticed that the fan mounting holes on the heat sink on my Jetson nano were not threaded. You may have had the same condition. The screws provided with the fan kit I received are *not* self-tapping screws, and should not be forced into the hole in the heat sink. Not only could you screw the screws up that way, but you run the risk of a small particle of metal getting loose and into the circuitry of the nano. The holes in the heat sink were the correct size to be tapped for the screws provided. Mine were metric screws, M3-.05 and the smallest metric tap in my tap and die set worked perfectly to prepare the fan to receive the screws. You must exercise extreme caution when tapping the holes. Go slowly, back out a partial turn often, wear eye protection and use compressed air or puckered lips and lung power to blow any possible chips of metal as far from the workpiece as possible. When finished, double-check and triple check, with a nice bright light source that there are no chips in any bad place. Interestingly, although I am using the same case as you, and am using the pi v2 camera that sparkfun provides with their Jetson kit, after all the assembly was finished and I powered up the Jetson and followed NVIDIA's lesson to get the camera working, the image my camera produced was upside-down! I had to disassemble the camera mount and flip the camera over so that the cable is exiting the top of the mount to get an upright image. This disagrees with both your build and the pictures presented by the case manufacturer. There is no way to tell by looking at my camera module that the image is going to be upside-down compared to other similar modules! I also suspect that my fan is blowing the opposite of yours, based on the layout of the wiring, as my fan is unlabelled on both sides. I will mount mine with the air blowing into the case, as you suggest. Thanks for your efforts and excellently instructive videos! HTH. HAND.

[@paulmcwhorter]

You need to watch my video series . . . you put it together and then jumped over to NVIDIA lessons. You need to stick with one set of lessons. In a later lesson I show you how to address the upside down image in the command used to launch the camera. I agree on the screws, but since I dont have tapping equipment, I just forced the screws in.

Sorry for the difficulty. Really scared me those little connectors for the wifi antenna. I usually keep a few spare pi camera ribbon cables on hand. Also, be really careful with the clip on the nano board for the camera cable. That one is easy to pop off.

I want a simple robot exactly like the Vector Robot but be able to create it so it has true AI in that it can act as a mouse exploring the house even collecting items to take back to its' home base. I liked the Vector robot since it has a tractor type body with even the right arms if modified enough could pick items up. With your help here I hope to make a GREAT personal robot which would make my Roomba very very happy. But at the end before I can build such a toy I need to simply ear exactly what is machine AI learning.

For the jumper to get the barrel jack power supply to work, it turned out for me, that there was already a jumper on it, but only over 1 pin, and not both. I found that and moved it be over both. Up and till then, I was having so much trouble finding the pins to put the jumper on and I thought I noticed that the jumper was already on it, but couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Didn't notice that it was only over one pin and not both.

Please don't make us commit the same errors as you, this isn't live instruction. I was frustrated to have to take apart the case when you found it was put together incorrectly.

[@drzwithcrow6075]

Got caught out by the jumper on the power supply side - the board came with the jumper in place and, to old eyes at least, appeared properly positioned. SO I assumed all was good until I tried firing up. When the power supply failed, I used the USB connection to check that the fault wasn't in the Nano. All good, so I tried removing the jumper, just in case on the slightly different configuration (I thought I was getting exactly the same as in this video, but instead it came as the 2-camera slot version). It came off TOO easily, so obviously wasn't in place properly - it certainly took time to try to get it to slot back. All good now, but something to watch out for.

[@JoseLaruta]

It would be great if you can explore the jetson nano in a headless mode. Since its goal is to serve to ai on the edge, having a desktop environment is a waste of resources. I'm very interested in this device for robotics and artificial vision applications. Right now I'm waiting for mine to arrive, due to my location (Bolivia) I have to wait more than a month when I order online :(. But, in the meantime I'm so looking forward to follow your tutorials. You are a very good teacher and mentor!

[@paulmcwhorter]

I feel the same way. The nano is such a neat little package, and then connect up an octopus of wires to it. I like to run it as minimal as possible. The easiest is to connect it up once, get its IP address sorted out, and then just SSH into it. With wifi, then you just need one cord for power. Also you can run VNC to remote view the desktop. Should probably make a lesson on that pretty early on.

Right now, you can use gedit to play around, as it is a simple text editor

[@cliffchism9187]

@Paul McWhorter I saw where you were having trouble getting the python ide to work. Glad you got it sorted out. One thing comes to mind for your future tutorials. Once you have a tested and working environment, might try putting it into a Docker container, so that everyone in your “class” is working on exactly the same system, independent of platform. I know that this solution has helped other educators... especially those that were messing with OpenCV. Anyway, just a thought for future projects. It also helps if you suddenly find that you have to make a major mod and can update the class without having to reinstall everything. Just update the container.
