What skill shall we work on next, Weather? Home Automation? Calendar? Time (as in 'what time is it'), Random Facts?

I think I finally found a way to do my final year project. Please complete this series. You seriously are a lifesaver.

Edit 1: You have everything I was thinking to include in my project.

Edit 2: There are more videos on this series. I am so glad I found your YouTube Channel. As I continue the video I am more and more grateful towards you.

your tutorial helps me a lot as an electrical engineer developing delivery drones

Hello mate, I have only just came a cross you tbh and Just stated watching, but for what I can see you are making very high quality videos!
Truly thank you <3

[eDRoaCH]

Absolutely loving these. I am not fully sure because of the nature of video but I think your crash problem is that if the Try in listen() fails you have nothing to return.

[Jennn]

4:33 This is such a clever and charming way of illustrating a point. I love it! I had originally just listened to this video at work in my ear phones, finally had the time to come back and actually watch it and glad I did. 🙂Thank You for this, looking forward to watching / listening to more.

[Hybrid.Robotics]

Yes, I would also really like to see more videos on microcontrollers and robotics. More Micropython would also be awesome!

[Catamox]

I know this is an old video but this is absolutely amazing

[theandonlycw]

Thanks so much for this! I'm starting to learn python for this very reason.

[MagDag_]

@Kevin McAleer Thank you for tutorial! I have a Nvidia Jetson nano will try to use it.

[flankz]

You are such a legend! was using this for my prject

[satyakitalukder]

you are a legend man! the vdos are so unique and procedural! like them very much

[kevinschilling]

Hey Kevin..
I'm coming a little late to the show so to speak.. I was following along great right up to the Demo Time.. I thought you were going to VS on your computer not through the Raspberry Pi environment. Which makes things a tad different.. I will have to come back to the Demo Time point after my mic, speakers and micro HDMI to HDMI cable comes in the mail.. I do like how detailed you are with things..

[akulgoel]

please make nlp integration with this, i can see this become a powerful tool someday

[wicklif]

Wow this is what have been looking for

[tradingwithbots]

Your are the best, you're probably a professor aswell.

[EmosGambler]

Starting now! Thanks for such content. Hopefully I will manage!

[compubyte]

yeah Microcontrollers. especially the PICO.. I really feel the PICO W blows away the 8bit Ardunio, and can elevate those things built with it. to another level! IMO

[rodriguezmartin]

Hey, It looks amazing my friend, good job. Can you do one with a raspbeery pi pico?

[Hybrid.Robotics]

I have an 8Gb Raspberry Pi 4 with an Adafruit Braincraft Hat that I am installing all of this on. It boots from a 128Gb USB drive. :)
