ArduinoCore-avr VS open-source-rover

Gotta pick some project that matters to you and do it. Putting Python code into production with multi-person teams is outright maddening, but for the individual who wants to put their skills on wheels, Python is a great place to start.

Another fun thing to try is

https://www.arduino.cc/

I got started with that buying an Arduino and a breadboard and a handful of 74xx logic chips and I started writing Arduino programs that would generate inputs to the 74xx chips and verify the expected outputs and thus taught myself C coding for the Arduino and how to make circuits with discrete logic at the same time.

Check out existing implementations like Arduino: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/blob/master/libraries/SPI/src/SPI.h

you can always just use an ide but i use this one on my old chrome book https://www.arduino.cc/

You'll also need the avr C library and the Arduino library, and possibly a Makefile or similar to corral the compilation process

Ya for $25 you either want 4-5 clones, or support the official Italian Arduino makers as thanks for making the entire ecosystem possible by buying one of their own boards from https://www.arduino.cc/

It depends what exactly is she into. For electronics you can check out arduino. They sell full kits with everything you need - some components like leds, breadboard so you can create circuits without soldering and a small 8bit computer to control everything with. AFAIK they also sell kits specifically for education starting with middle school.

They are in via Arduino. ;-)

Naonosaur: https://github.com/rnanosaur/nanosaur. If you would like something larger and with a bit more off the shelf components then jpl open source rover has seem quite a bit of updates recently: https://github.com/nasa-jpl/open-source-rover

"Our position is that the license chosen overrides the disclaimer. We have approval to license this software under the Apache License, version 2, which allows others to do what they wish (even build commercial software on it). That should supersede the attached disclaimer which are artifacts of an evolving OSS release process that we are trying to improve."

How much money do you have? https://opensourcerover.jpl.nasa.gov/

Another way to go if you wanted to go from scratch is the official nasa rover build https://github.com/nasa-jpl/open-source-rover which I've only heard good things about

https://kitspace.org

Kitspace is a place to share ready to order open hardware electronics projects. You can order the the circuit board and all components for a project with just a few clicks.

I’m seeking a someone to help improve the documentation of open source hardware electronics projects by asking creators whether they would like to mirror their project to Kitspace.

The way to do this is to send Github pull-requests to projects (some examples: https://github.com/Ottercast/OtterCastAudioV2/pull/8, https://github.com/gregdavill/d20-hardware/pull/2 and https://github.com/nasa-jpl/open-source-rover/pull/180). As you can see in the examples it requires clear communication and some familiarity with electronics parts and making bills of materials. Most importantly it requires a mindset to try and help and improve the project in question through documentation rather than badgering people to add it to the site. Familiarity with Git, Github and at least one electronics CAD software (KiCad, Eagle etc.) is also helpful.

Naturally this gig is fully remote and the number of hours and length of contract you would like to commit to is up to you. Time zone is not dictated either, though some overlap with UTC+1, for the occasional meeting, would be ideal.

This is a fully open source project and does not turn a profit hence the budget is limited. I’m looking for people that can accept a rate of USD $20 an hour.
