Catchy Jetbot tune! It's an earworm. And thank you for the learning.

Hi bro! Quick question: If I inserted the batteries as it should (with the correct poles) but with the third battery (I placed the - pole first) when I also put the + pole, smoke came out and then a flame, do you think the plate burned? And what did I do wrong?

[@JetsonHacks]

From your description, I'm not sure what went wrong. If the batteries were the correct type, and inserted correctly, there certainly not be any smoke or flames. There could be issues with the wiring or the batteries that might cause this. In any case, you should discuss this with Waveshare. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the inspiration, now I can dust off my JN and have some fun with it. Just ordered the kit from amazon.

I'm glad you found the video useful. There's another video on collision avoidance coming out soon. Thanks for watching!

@@JetsonHacks I'll be looking forward to the next installment. Thanks again.

Hello Jim! I was wondering if you can make a tutorial using pixhawk 4 and jetson nano for autonomous flying

[@JetsonHacks]

Unfortunately I live in an area where legal places to fly are difficult to find. Good luck on your project, and thanks for watching!

Finally found this useful tutorial in KZbin. I just got my Jetson Nano 2 GB few days ago. I wanted a 4GB one but out of stock everywhere. Great video. Subscribed.

For anyone struggling to find 18650 batteries, check your local vape shop. They're very likely to carry them as a lot of the big vape box mods use these batteries.

[@JetsonHacks]

That's an interesting solution!

[@secretagent1004]

I don't have the batteries on me right now, would it be powered if I plugged in the cable into the charger without the batteries?

[@JetsonHacks]

Plug it in and find out! Sounds like a fun project. Thanks for watching!

[@rohrbold]

Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me to assemble all the parts correctly. And I faced the same issue like you with the camera’s screw hole for which I had to buy a tap in order to enlarge it. Apart from that everything worked out very well.

[@JetsonHacks]

You are welcome. I am glad you found the video useful. The camera screw hole issue is annoying, I'm glad that you were able to fix it. Thanks for watching!

[@sergeykorol6548]

I used a self-tapping screw and a screwdriver to increase a hole.

[@JetsonHacks]

@@sergeykorol6548 This is a great tip, especially if you have the screws on hand. Thanks for watching!

[@MrMic18650]

Could you please sell it with the track

[@JetsonHacks]

I don't sell these units, you'll need to contact Waveshare who is the manufacturer. Thanks for watching.

[@MrMertge]

How do i turn off the JetBot? is it safe to pull the plug or just to Turn off the switch?

[@JetsonHacks]

The best way is to shutdown the Jetson remotely from another computer first before turning off the power. If you can't do that, the switch is the second best option. If you just turn the power off, you may lose data that hasn't been written yet. Thanks for watching!

[@carlpetersen3128]

Batteries seem to be hard to come by. Mid to end of January for delivery. Where did you get yours?

[@JetsonHacks]

I got them with a flashlight. That particular flashlight doesn't seem to be available right now, but you can try this one: amzn.to/3yIDce5 The robot only works with regular 18650s, not the extended one. Check to see if those fit.
