In this lesson we show you how to teach the NVIDIA Jetson Nano to talk. We show two different ways. In the first, we use the espeak TTS engine. We then show how to do it with gTTS. We compare and contrast the pros and cons of each technique.
Robotics Training LESSON 15: Using the BLE Bluetooth Module for Robotic Control
In this lesson we show how to control the Elegoo Smart Car Robot Kit using the Bluetooth module. This allows much more accurate control than what was possible with the IR Remote. Below is the code which we developed in the lesson.

AI on the Jetson Nano LESSON 59: PWM on the GPIO Pins of the Jetson Nano
In this lesson we show how to configure the GPIO pins on the Jetson Nano to produce PWM signals. We show how the PWM libraries can be run in python. The Jetson Nano can provide Pulse Width Modulation signals on two physical pins, pins 32 and 33. We take you through the step by step process in the video above.
Robotics Training LESSON 14: Using the BLE Bluetooth Module to Control the Arduino Elegoo Smart Car
In this lesson we learn how to use bluetooth with the Arduino. We show how you can control the Elegoo Smart Car from a Bluetooth App. We show how to download the app on your phone, and then how to program the Ap to control the smart car.

AI on the Jetson Nano LESSON 58: Controlling an LED With GPIO Pins and Button Switch
In this lesson we show you how to control a simple LED circuit using the GPIO pins on the Jetson Nano. We use pull up resistors to connect a push button to the Jetson Nano GPIO pins. We create a toggle switch where the light turns off when the button is pressed, and then turns it back on when pressed again.
