[@RCWalletVacuum]

This series just gets better and better!

I AM LEGEND! The general approach was straightforward but the details required some thought.

atan2() = nice math function that I didn't know existed. Thanks for the lesson Paul!

[@edSabio572]

Thanks Paul! I got the homework right, but looking at my program, it is the math what makes the project. That is what makes your class different!!!!

[@larryplatzek9017]

I enjoy these lessons ! Paul's lesson's are MOST EXCELLENT!

[@cvicracer]

Another awesome lesson

[@jamescullins2709]

Paul, you're awesome!!

[@drdentin3215]

Paul another great lesson. Sorry I missed the live lecture and unfortunately will miss the R4 as well. I watched this (to get my pico fix) mainly to get the HW. Did you ever mention atan2 before? I had seen it but never looked it up or knew what it was. So I did the homework with your first method, 'just don't let x=0'. I also did the degrees in quadrants. Great to see your methods. I enjoy seeing how the 'Great One' tackles it. Bill

Thank you Paul!

Hi, I noticed that lesson 40 is wrongly added to this list of videos, it is placed under lesson 44. If you can change it that would be awesome :)

Amazing information, Paul! Question. I have a new product that needs a prototype that we’ve decided to build on the Pico w for cost purposes. We’re sure that it can be built on this platform but unfortunately, some of the coding required is beyond our current abilities. I’m cautious not to share too many details on open forums but outside of online forums, I’m having a hard time finding anyone who can help. Any advice on where I might look for some personal help?

Sir please can you do a video on how to use the raspberry pi pico w with a Relay Thank you

Hey Paul, love your vids and am subscribed. If you don't mind me asking, who is it with you in your profile pic and where is that? Thanks

[@paulmcwhorter]

A Masai friend of mine in Kenya.

Hello! Because the kit from amazon is unavailable at this moment. Can anyone tell me the exact list of parts inside the this kit? Ms. Paul great job, i'm coming from UNO series!

[@Ducerobot]

I haven't tried this yet but I might fold up like a cheap temu card table.

After Paul's gentle nudge, here's an updated version of the homework solution for episode 58: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnSXi3Sthp6Zoposi=zDxiFSYeeR3fa-6x

Here is my solution to lesson 57. the only problem I haven't ben able to solve(yet) is that when the joystick is in the center it shows a vector of 0°. kzbin.infov83hZyypAWg?feature=share

[@paulmcwhorter]

Thanks for posting. It is easier to see if you will upload the video as a normal video instead of a "short". The shorts can not be seen as clearly.

[@brucemilyko8549]

I just upload them. KZbin decides that they are shorts. I don't know how to do it any other way

[@scottpettygrove7821]

Here's my solution for Homework 58. Thanks, Paul!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gV66dJ6HYrCAhsk
