Hi everyone, I have been doing some work on the project. I have removed the old board (BiBoard) and installed the new board (Nyboard) and the music and lights worked on the new board I expect that it is working now and I only have to upload the code, and as for the Raspberry I downloaded the system on it and I installed the Raspberry over the Nyboard using female headers and it worked and also I entered the Raspberry system using Windows Powershell but now I have a problem I want to install the camera and voice and AI chip on the Raspberry we can do it using the Raspberry GPIO But you know how the ports of these chips cannot be mounted on the Raspberry pins. If Anyone have advice, I would be grateful to you.

As a proof of concept, it's not pretty but it works. I installed VirtualHere (free for one port) on an RPi 2B and supplied it 5V from my BittleX Biboard V0.2. Then I connected a USB port to Bittle's USB-C port. I also added a wifi module to the RPi which would not be necessary with a Pi 0, Pi 3, etc. Also, mounting the RPi on other robot versions would be easier

VirtualHere creates a remote USB port over wifi so as far any Bittle software is concerned, it's talking to the robot via a direct USB connection. Hence, no software changes needed for the computer or Bittle.

Since bluetooth isn't working for Bittle on my M1 Macbook Pro and requres constant pairing and unpairing on my other machines, this provides a nice alternative while waiting for a better wifi solution. Hope it helps someone else.

Everytime I connect the Bittle to the computer the dog turns off. I have done some extensive searching

and can not find any info on that. I also can not connect it by bluetooth either. It shows up on my list of devices

but won't connect. Does anyone know what is wrong? I have not been able to use it since I bought it!
