Headlights and Camera not activating (as expected?)

I’ve had a go at the first coding exercise here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0552/3269/2430/files/Wheelson_Coding_Guide_PDF_English.pdf?v=1688560442

The outcome of the first exercise when run, should be that the headlights and camera show on the screen, along with the cycling RGB LEDs.

The LEDs cycle as expected when the code runs. Keeps running after I unplug the cable. But Wheelson becomes unresponsive after I switch it off then on again. I guess that’s to be expected because it appears that Wheelson doesn’t cater hold firmware and MicroPython at the same time.

Question: I wouldn’t have expected the headlights or display to turn on since it wasn’t explicitly coded. Why does the guide say that these are the expected outcomes? Feeling confused here…

Hey @Hanford,

thank you for your comment.

Yes, you are correct it is not possible to trigger anything with camera here.

We’ll update our guide!

Thank you once again!

Thanks for the clarification.
I look forward to future developments and doing more with Wheelson!
