Filipino DevOps Engineer – Portfolio Weblog

Embracing continuing self-education and training aligned with helping do DevOps work to serve others

Day 10 of 100 Days of DevOps – Folks our small weekend project 🤖🚘

Hey folks! 👋

How’s it going over there?

How are you?

I just sent off some of my beloved family members off a journey of their own.

And I just had lunch. Thankful, really.

Folks, I’m going to rest for the rest of this Friday. I’ll sleep early.

Then I’ll wake up to do our grind again, with study and some hands-on practice.

And this reminds me, a small group of well-meaning folks hired me to help them with their website. I need to look into that very soon. God knows I need work and some income.

Well, who doesn’t have bills and in some cases, debts to repay? Yes, my friends?

Alright.

For today, I didn’t look into our Kode Kloud web interface. So I have no idea what’s next in our list of tasks to do.

Tomorrow, hopefully early in the morning, I’ll get started with Day 10’s laboratory thingamajig.

For today, I really need to catch up on a book read (or two).

I’m reading a book about something I want to learn on the side.

For myself, personally, desiring to geek out and learn, while, also wanting to build something my kids will enjoy getting their hands on. Presently, I have a little nephew, feisty and energetic, and a responsible, diligent daughter.

God bless them.

And, folks, here is that something I have been meaning to learn how to put together.

It’s a small, wheeled robot. That I will call “Wheeler Robotnik”. 😅

The electronic components, or parts of this, I don’t have yet. At least most of it.

  • Raspberry Pi
  • Breadboard
  • 2x electric dynamo motors with batteries
  • 2x wheels
  • Some connecting wires and a small circuit board that I don’t know yet what it does.
  • In case you’re wondering I think that’s some Lego blocks for its chasis and frame. I think that’ll work fine. Yes.
  • Finally, me thinks I’ll need an SD card too. For storage of a small program that will enable this wheeled robot to move.

If I’m unable to obtain the necessary pieces and electronics for this one. Perhaps, I’ll try and have a go with something that needs fewer pieces.

Something simpler, in a way.

Gradually, we’ll get there, in God’s time, my friends. Okay?

Okay, that’s it for now.

I’m going to take it slow for the rest of today, my brothers and sisters.

Thanks!

Until next time, folks. Peace be with you all. ☮️
