Your video production is one of the best I have seen on RUclips, you don’t stop at reviews you take us through the journey. Really appreciate the process and attention to detail.
You really don't have to apologize for anything.. Your videos are just fantastic. I'm not even doing AI yet but just watching your vids gets me excited and hopeful!
I just got onboard with an AI project using the Jetson Nano. I not only need to understand AI, but we will be creating our own breakout board for the SoC so I'm very much looking forward to your series on this to get a better understanding of all of this. I've seen your videos before and their really good. Thanks for doing this.
I'm catching up quick. I bought everything on your list plus a 22" HDMI monitor. I got everything up and running to the point in this video. No password required, single click machine, and WiFi is connected. I'm all set to move forward. I'm going to make a copy of this SD card image right now so my new SD card should already have all these modifications done. One to play with and one for A.I. lessons. The other one I'll be using for CAD and video production software. Thanks Paul. This is going to be a great series. I'm all in. I'll become a patreon member as soon as I recover from having bought all this stuff. I ended up spending $350 with the new HDMI monitor. I also bought a TF mini LED LIDAR unit that I'm hoping to play with too. So this $99 Jetson Nano ended up costing me $350. But it looks like it's going to be worth it. The 22" HDMI monitor I bought looks like it's going to be good for CAD.
My Nano arrived today and the case and antennas a few days ago. So altogether now and ready to start the electrical bits. My case must be a little different - the side cutouts were identical and it didn't matter which side was which. Also, there were markings to indicate where the ports went and various other indicators, so assembly was far more straightforward - I would say the makers have listened to feedback. The bolts to hold the fan simply didn't fit however, and after a bit of looking around found that one fan kit sold uses self-tapping screws and another fellow simply used a M3 tap and tapped out the holes. I resorted to this option also, M3 5 pitch tap, and the screws went in sweet as. From the amount of aluminium removed, the screws were NEVER going in without tapping. The 'tap advisor' also mentioned avoiding getting aluminium filings were they didn't belong, so I tipped the Nano on its edge so the filings (tappings?) fell clear without the need for cleanup. One 'fault' with the acrylic case is that there is no spare acrylic on the corners, so tightening the corner screws to a good tension, I think, means the lifespan of at least one corner has been shortened considerably.
Thank you very much Paul. I am a your new youtube student . At the moment, I am learning the lession 25 and I had isome issue with the raspberry pi camera during study. I found the better way the camera installation. Do not need install the camera cable twist(possibility damage the camera and cable connection). install the camera without twist. during programing the flip = 6 will be no probem to me. the flip for camSet in python lessen, available flip = 0 ~ 7 ( 2 is rotate -180 degrees.... 6 is Flip vertically...) I am also new . New students, please try that... you don't need to twist the cable. I only can suggest new students of this experience. I always thank you to Paul. you are best!!!!
I purchased the acrylic case and fan combo you suggested. I noticed that the fan mounting holes on the heat sink on my Jetson nano were not threaded. You may have had the same condition. The screws provided with the fan kit I received are *not* self-tapping screws, and should not be forced into the hole in the heat sink. Not only could you screw the screws up that way, but you run the risk of a small particle of metal getting loose and into the circuitry of the nano. The holes in the heat sink were the correct size to be tapped for the screws provided. Mine were metric screws, M3-.05 and the smallest metric tap in my tap and die set worked perfectly to prepare the fan to receive the screws. You must exercise extreme caution when tapping the holes. Go slowly, back out a partial turn often, wear eye protection and use compressed air or puckered lips and lung power to blow any possible chips of metal as far from the workpiece as possible. When finished, double-check and triple check, with a nice bright light source that there are no chips in any bad place. Interestingly, although I am using the same case as you, and am using the pi v2 camera that sparkfun provides with their Jetson kit, after all the assembly was finished and I powered up the Jetson and followed NVIDIA's lesson to get the camera working, the image my camera produced was upside-down! I had to disassemble the camera mount and flip the camera over so that the cable is exiting the top of the mount to get an upright image. This disagrees with both your build and the pictures presented by the case manufacturer. There is no way to tell by looking at my camera module that the image is going to be upside-down compared to other similar modules! I also suspect that my fan is blowing the opposite of yours, based on the layout of the wiring, as my fan is unlabelled on both sides. I will mount mine with the air blowing into the case, as you suggest. Thanks for your efforts and excellently instructive videos! HTH. HAND.
You need to watch my video series . . . you put it together and then jumped over to NVIDIA lessons. You need to stick with one set of lessons. In a later lesson I show you how to address the upside down image in the command used to launch the camera. I agree on the screws, but since I dont have tapping equipment, I just forced the screws in.
Measured heatsink temp with fan in both positions (label visible or not). Heatsink temp : 29C with fan label visible; 26.8C with fan label towards heatsink (confirmed multiple times). Used sudo install lm-sensors hddtemp to measure temp. Fun experiment to see if fan position really matters - evidence supports the way fan is installed in the video. Thanks!
Glad we got that right. I was wondering if it matters but I can think a difference between sucking and blowing as far as getting heat off the heat sink
Thanks for the info. Interesting that the company that makes that case has a video on how to install everything, and the fan is label side up. ruclips.net/video/v0yUUtqKDhU/видео.html Lucky me...my fan came with the wrong connector...2 instead of the 4 pin connector. So a no go. Return in process.
Whew, that was an accomplishment getting through lesson #1. I already did the "headless" boot (lession #4) on a laptop w/ wired ethernet and it was fun. Onto lession #2. Thanks Paul for a great series ahead. BTW, for those who got the B01 (type B) JN, no need to jump J48 (type A), the board already comes with the jumper in place for you.
Good Tip for avoiding those annoying Windows messages, when the SDCard filesystem is not recognized: Disable Autoplay on removable memory devices, and not even one message pops up. If autoplay is active, Windows tries to open the conneced memory device in the explorer and fails. Why it tries that 10+ times escapes my logic, but hey it's windows. And btw. even if I repeat many comments here: Extremely helpful and informative video. Some ppl may find it lengthy, but i highly appreciate how you show every detail of the process. Because sometimes if you are trying something new which you aren't familiar to, even small missing bits of information can send you on a timeconsuming jurney of finding the solution. With many false paths to follow of course. So thanks for your videos! Top content
Superb first lesson, I am a qualified teacher and I cannot fault how you put this first tutorial together I now have a built Nano looking forward to lesson 2.
All put together with the pi cam, wireless mouse and keyboard I picked up locally, WIFI works great also. Dont forget to put the jumper in when using the power adaptor. Logitech is being delivered tomorrow. I was able to get the image recognition going, pretty awesome stuff. took me quite a while as I have no idea about ubuntu. Cant wait for the lessons.
Follow-up to my previous posts about SD card image. Highly recommend that you download the image Paul is using in the videos. The image he is using is shown at 26:15. When I got my Jeston Nano, I downloaded the latest version, which is dated 2019/12/17. I had problems with it and decided to switch to the 2019/07/19 version, which is the one Paul is using. After installing it (and doing a change described in Lesson 10), all my problems disappeared. Since the problems I encountered pertain to OpenCV, I will post more information in Lesson 10, where OpenCV is introduced.
Thank you John. It is a really fluid situation and it takes much work to make the videos, and then when new image is released, it breaks some of my instruction. Safest thing, like you say, is to use the same image I am using.
You are welcome. You wouldn't believe how many hours I've spent trying to resolve the issues I had with the 2019/12/17 image! At any rate, I am having way too much fun following along.
i am a y4 student from china, and i will graduate this year. thanks for your video and i appreciate it. it help me to keep leanring new technologies to promote professional development. thank you very much!!!
This is a plumbing trick, but it works with any threaded connection. If you quarter turn the threads in the opposite direction, like you're loosening, you will feel the threads seat. Then you can run them up and have no issue with cross threading.
Ive been watching your videos for a few years now, can only now say I feel like subscribing. The uncut raw demonstration is you and finally something i can accept. Not sure why you do thou - whos got time to waste on building something backwards? Otherwise this info is invaluable and much gratitude, looking fwd to getting nano and rewatching with alittle fast fwding.
I do not edit my videos and leave my mistakes in. That is because the most important thing you can learn from me is how to troubleshoot and debut. I talk out loud, and let people see my thought process when I have made a mistake. It also teaches normal people that making mistakes, finding them, and fixing them is a normal and important part of engineering. So, I do not apologize for leaving mistakes in, there is a purpose to it.
Hi Paul, i finished your Jetson videos 2 years ago. All of them were awesome now i would like to do Spanish videos teaching jetson nano for all Spanish community. Wish me luck!
Yeah been a couple of places "Enter At Your On Risk", I personally had a great time. I did not get mine going. I got the Nano assembled but the wires that snap to the WIFI card were bent at the connection point and the ribbon cable from the camera was torn but got them on order and should be here this next week. It was a good video looking forward to more. Have a great Labor Day.
Sorry for the difficulty. Really scared me those little connectors for the wifi antenna. I usually keep a few spare pi camera ribbon cables on hand. Also, be really careful with the clip on the nano board for the camera cable. That one is easy to pop off.
@@paulmcwhorter Your right on those Nano board connector they are delicate, I've never seen the snap on antenna wires but hey whats a little irritation along the way...LOL.
For the jumper to get the barrel jack power supply to work, it turned out for me, that there was already a jumper on it, but only over 1 pin, and not both. I found that and moved it be over both. Up and till then, I was having so much trouble finding the pins to put the jumper on and I thought I noticed that the jumper was already on it, but couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Didn't notice that it was only over one pin and not both.
I have watched through for 5 episodes and re-watching from this beginning because after weeks, my Nano is arriving today!!! I will be following along as soon as I get it in a case.
I was trying to configure a bluetooth speaker with my nano, using the Waveshare Wifi antenna kit you recommended. Wifi works just great, but the bluetooth/ubuntu configuration was over my head. Thankfully my monitor has an audio out jack and my regular speakers work fine so I can now watch the whole series on my Nano ubuntu machine!
Having a problem with the camera. I was looking for a course like this to intergrate AI into hardware/sensors. Just started your videos and up to 10 and think they are great. You are very clear. I do have a background in ML/DL so hope to catch up soon. I just received the Jeston Nano and did the physical install. While installing the Rasberry Pi Camera I was having problems plugging the cable into the slot. The pop-up plastic broke off on both slots. Will I have problems? Do I need to get a replacement slot?? I assume they come out. Thanks
The camera has to be plugged in securely, and yes bery easy to break those plastic tabs. See if you can find repleacements, or at least see if the broken one can be used to wedge back in to create that very tight connection between camera and board.
Thank you so much for working so hard to make this technology accessible to so many people, professor. I have finished all your Arduino videos and am super excited to find this course. You are an inspiration.
Looking back in this vid to refresh. One thing I do use libre office write for is to capture my doc notes when doing things on the board and referring to internet urls as I go, because you need to simply cut n' paste url for future ref in your "how-to" doc.
Getting started! I finished putting it all together I got a logitech camera instead of the raspberry, only weird thing I noticed was on my Jetson Nano I had two slots where you inserted the raspberry pie. Instead of one slot and the pins next to it I have 2 slots.. I hope this won't affect me down the road! Having fun already!
Ok, last comment! :) Just got the Jetson B01 and got it fully installed (kind of forgot wifi password) and all seems to be running well. Order all parts you suggested other than the keyboard mouse and have it hard wired to my network for now. All I can say I YAY I'm back using Unix! :)
Funny Story... I ordered a Jetson Nano so I'm able to follow your lessons... not the way around 😁 Fan of your Arduino and Raspberry pi lessons. You are absolutely the best!!
Got the Xavier going. . Yea.. retired ;). Very good stuff this! No jumper needed. A few hiccups. #1 wifi plugs were mildly difficult issue and one broke .. ordered new plastic case with new plugs. Other less critical issues like proper HDMI adapter ... old VGA to HDMI did not work, making me think everything was broken when in fact it was just the video interface. Very excited to work through your tutorials!
Hey Paul. Finally got all my stuff together. I got the wrong acrylic case but it seems mine was quite a bit easier to assemble than yours. Im new to Mac and had to install using that so I was off the script for a while last night but its all good. Up and booted. Works great 1st time! I'll do the remaining lessons and get all caught up over the weekend. This is an amazing example of how good a teacher you are. Not to be blowing smoke .... but I cannot express how much you have helped me here!!! Thanks.
Thank you for the great tutorial, off to tut 2 :) ; process went flawless: Windows 11 + Hikvision Micro SD Formatter + SD Card formatter and Finally Balena Etcher worked without a single error..Whooop. Nano set up and running like a charm
If you got the NEW Jetson Nano B01 version with 2 camera connectors instead of 1 then your jumper pins were moved a little to the side of the original spot and it has a jumper already installed but ONLY on one pin, take it out and place it on both then it should boot up!
I'm here to start a fun trek. I saw the Vector Robot and it got me very interested in AI robotics. Now yes, the Vector Robot isn't even close to true AI and is why I am here. I want a simple robot exactly like the Vector Robot but be able to create it so it has true AI in that it can act as a mouse exploring the house even collecting items to take back to its' home base. I liked the Vector robot since it has a tractor type body with even the right arms if modified enough could pick items up. With your help here I hope to make a GREAT personal robot which would make my Roomba very very happy. But at the end before I can build such a toy I need to simply ear exactly what is machine AI learning.
It would be great if you can explore the jetson nano in a headless mode. Since its goal is to serve to ai on the edge, having a desktop environment is a waste of resources. I'm very interested in this device for robotics and artificial vision applications. Right now I'm waiting for mine to arrive, due to my location (Bolivia) I have to wait more than a month when I order online :(. But, in the meantime I'm so looking forward to follow your tutorials. You are a very good teacher and mentor!
I feel the same way. The nano is such a neat little package, and then connect up an octopus of wires to it. I like to run it as minimal as possible. The easiest is to connect it up once, get its IP address sorted out, and then just SSH into it. With wifi, then you just need one cord for power. Also you can run VNC to remote view the desktop. Should probably make a lesson on that pretty early on.
@@paulmcwhorter I also have the Jetson setup in headless mode with ssh. Looking for a python ide....I saw you asking JetsonHacks the same question. Hope you came up with a good python ide to use with the Jetson
@@quaternion-pi I have it figured out and will show in an upcoming video. The issue was a tough one, as you could get them installed and running, but could not get them to use the image libraries. But have it figured out, but beyond what I can explain in simple comment. Will do in a future video as we get ready to really start coding. Right now, you can use gedit to play around, as it is a simple text editor
@Paul McWhorter I saw where you were having trouble getting the python ide to work. Glad you got it sorted out. One thing comes to mind for your future tutorials. Once you have a tested and working environment, might try putting it into a Docker container, so that everyone in your “class” is working on exactly the same system, independent of platform. I know that this solution has helped other educators... especially those that were messing with OpenCV. Anyway, just a thought for future projects. It also helps if you suddenly find that you have to make a major mod and can update the class without having to reinstall everything. Just update the container.
my JN 4Gb has the 'little jumper' in a different location and it came attached to one of the two pins only for transportation, I assume. Need to locate the pins and adjust the jumper otherwise, no booting after plugging in the power. Might be an updated version of the JN 4Gb compared to Paul's lesson #1
Assembly, file downloads, formatting SD card OK. A bit of confusion flashing the SD card. Don't unzip the image file. Just point balena etcher to the image zip file. Then all OK.
I think this project costs a little too much for me to get into... Primarily for a toy without much direct usefulness... I will watch and follow the project though... It looks interesting... Thank you for presenting it.
I’m thinking about an AI capable lawn mower that can tell the difference between dogs and cats and react accordingly... But in all seriousness, first I’ll learn it’s capabilities and limitations, then I’ll decide what I might use it to do. Learn first. Do second. FWIW, I learned much of what I know about Arduino from Paul. I didn’t have any use in mind for it when I started. Now, there are Arduinos everywhere around here.
I was wondering can I still do the lessons without the case and fan. I have one coming in a few days but, I wanted to get started right away Please respond if you have an answer thanks in advance.
Thank you for making this series and all of the others. I have subscribed and I don't skip your ads. I do have a complaint/request. Please don't make us commit the same errors as you, this isn't live instruction. I was frustrated to have to take apart the case when you found it was put together incorrectly.
OK, great. This first lesson is a little tedious. It takes me a couple of times to get the acrylic case put together right. But, we will get the stuff assembled and booted in the first lesson. I am really looking forward to this series and happy to see there are people who are going to be follwing along.
@@paulmcwhorter 1:42 describes me to a t, thank you for your efforts on this series. I appreciate your Patreon plea, help a brother out. You deserve a little support. TY! I have some catch up coming. lol.
the biggest problem with jetson nano is that there are hardly any good books that we can read and learn from..that's frustrating. THAT makes Pauls lessons the only rigorous source of comprehensive information for the nano.
Hard to find the product available. Could you put the exact model number that you use for the video in the description Amazon is sold out has been for a while so many other variations
I'm super excited for this series and to see where you can take us with this. I think all your video series are fantastic! Thank you for your work. What is your favorite coffee?
Thank you for all your efforts teaching people all around the world. These Jetson lessons I will follow in a slower tempo, and make the decision to save for one when I'm familiar with it and be able to integrate it for home projects. First lesson done at least 😏
Hi Paul. Thank you for the great videos. I am just starting the jetson nano videos. I am starting the AI learning then go back to the smart car. I will be incorporation parts of the nano project with the smart car for my mars rover.
Was on your website.. didn't see a way to reach you from there? So came into here.. My question is would an AI work on a Raspberry pi 4 with 4 or 8GB of ram?
Got caught out by the jumper on the power supply side - the board came with the jumper in place and, to old eyes at least, appeared properly positioned. SO I assumed all was good until I tried firing up. When the power supply failed, I used the USB connection to check that the fault wasn't in the Nano. All good, so I tried removing the jumper, just in case on the slightly different configuration (I thought I was getting exactly the same as in this video, but instead it came as the 2-camera slot version). It came off TOO easily, so obviously wasn't in place properly - it certainly took time to try to get it to slot back. All good now, but something to watch out for.
I am a 11 year old and have learnt arduino from you and am currently learning Linux and raspberry pi. I am so happy as I am the only child in my class knowing about “arduino”
Hey Paul, i don't think that multiple window popping up issue is normal, never seen that before on Windows when flashing an SD card. Didn't have that freeze on first boot either. Thx again for the very detailed instructions, i 3D printed my case instead.
I love your tutorials.I have learnt how to use arduino from your new arduino tutorials You make tutorials better than any other channels on RUclips. You are really a great and hard working person You explain everything in detail and tell us everything about the subject of your video. I want to meet you but I live in India
Thanks! You are going to go very far in life. You are taking the initiative to do more than those around you. I predict you are going to be a great success in life if you keep this up.
When I click your link to buy the Jetson Nano, It only has 1 used and 1 new available. But, I see that Amazon has other Jetson Nanos. I need to buy 2 and would prefer to get them new. Also, are we supposed to get the "A02" or "B01"? Thanks.
Got my Jetson Nano off of your parts list. Followed your instructions and all went very well. Looking forward to the next lesson. You are an excellent teacher. I followed your tutorials on Fusion 360 and that is a snap for me now. So, I am looking forward to learning from and with this platform.
G'Day Paul! started my Nano lessons, ordered some kits while waiting for them to be delivered I thought I should at least get started with basic stuff.
Impressive. I was wondering if the nano module can be used on Xavier NX developer kit, as the Nvidia documentation state they share same pin out. Already have the nano module but eyeing the NX development board with it support for M.2 drives support
Would this tutorial series be compatible with the jetson nano 2GB? I know that the new 2Gb version lacks a few physical connections but I don't know about the software aspects.
Hello, I know you stated it would be good to have the same hardware but I was given the 2gb version of the nano. Will I be able to the same tutorial videos and follow along? I do plan on purchasing the 4gb version eventually but I figured I start by get my hands dirty in the process.
I received my jetson Nano CPU Fan with 4 pin yellow,blue,red and black cable. After putting in my fan not spinning. The fan only spin with only black and red cable. May I know the yellow and blue cable is for sensor and may be the Fan only spin when reach certain temperature? What is your advice?
Paul: Is there a lesson outline available for this series? Given the scope of AI applications addressable with this level of hardware, it would be interesting to see what you will be including in the scope of these lessons.
Good question. first we will familiarize ourselves with Linux terminal and the command line. Then will give some introductory lessons on python. Then we will learn OpenCV, and we will begin developing AI based on use of openCV in python. My interest is to be interacting with the real world through the GPIO pins.
Hi Paul, Great Content. I''m learning alot from your lesson. I have a question. Instead of running a webcam, is there a code to run rtsp stream on network in this framework? Thanks
You can, but would have to figure out how to grab your rtsp stream in gstreamer. I am sure there is a gstreamer parameter that would allow that, but havent done it so not sure what it is.
Hi mr Paul, when i boot the jetson nano developer kit, the mouse and keyboard isnt working, i try a wired one also wireless pack, i try to put out the batteries and still not working, i use an 5V 4A barrel and the micro usb to boot it and still not working, idk what to do know, im a really beginner on this, could u help me?
In August 2019 when lesson 1 of this extraordinary learning series was made, the Jetson Nano version AO2 was the then available model. Mr. McWhorter, I would like to ask: For those of us who are now starting on Lesson 1, do you recommend that we should buy the Jetson Nano previous version A02, or do you now recommend that it is better to buy the Jetson Nano latest version B01?
I got all supplies as you suggested yet I have gone with the B01 version of the 4g board and didn't go with the new 2g $59 version since I found it has way less options. By next month I will be up to speed and buildmy own Vector Robot. How hard can it be? :)
My Jetson Nano doesn't boot and it is plugged into the power adaptor that you recommend. I'm using the jumper on the pins but don't know what can be happening.
Hi, my Jetson Nano is shutting down when I try to run camera and Lidar both. I have connected with Lipo battery of 4A, 2200mah,11V and 14.43Wh. I'm using buck converter to step down(4A, 5V) the voltage. If I unplug Lidar then it's working fine but shutting down if both connected. And I'm also able to run both with 5V, 4A adapter. Can you tell me where the problem is? Thank you so much. :)
Your video production is one of the best I have seen on RUclips, you don’t stop at reviews you take us through the journey. Really appreciate the process and attention to detail.
You really don't have to apologize for anything.. Your videos are just fantastic. I'm not even doing AI yet but just watching your vids gets me excited and hopeful!

I just got onboard with an AI project using the Jetson Nano. I not only need to understand AI, but we will be creating our own breakout board for the SoC so I'm very much looking forward to your series on this to get a better understanding of all of this. I've seen your videos before and their really good. Thanks for doing this.
I'm catching up quick. I bought everything on your list plus a 22" HDMI monitor. I got everything up and running to the point in this video. No password required, single click machine, and WiFi is connected. I'm all set to move forward. I'm going to make a copy of this SD card image right now so my new SD card should already have all these modifications done. One to play with and one for A.I. lessons. The other one I'll be using for CAD and video production software.
Thanks Paul. This is going to be a great series. I'm all in. I'll become a patreon member as soon as I recover from having bought all this stuff. I ended up spending $350 with the new HDMI monitor. I also bought a TF mini LED LIDAR unit that I'm hoping to play with too. So this $99 Jetson Nano ended up costing me $350. But it looks like it's going to be worth it. The 22" HDMI monitor I bought looks like it's going to be good for CAD.
My Nano arrived today and the case and antennas a few days ago. So altogether now and ready to start the electrical bits. My case must be a little different - the side cutouts were identical and it didn't matter which side was which. Also, there were markings to indicate where the ports went and various other indicators, so assembly was far more straightforward - I would say the makers have listened to feedback.

Thank you very much Paul. I am a your new youtube student . At the moment, I am learning the lession 25 and I had isome issue with the raspberry pi camera during study. I found the better way the camera installation. Do not need install the camera cable twist(possibility damage the camera and cable connection). install the camera without twist. during programing the flip = 6 will be no probem to me. the flip for camSet in python lessen, available flip = 0 ~ 7 ( 2 is rotate -180 degrees.... 6 is Flip vertically...) I am also new . New students, please try that... you don't need to twist the cable. I only can suggest new students of this experience. I always thank you to Paul. you are best!!!!
I purchased the acrylic case and fan combo you suggested. I noticed that the fan mounting holes on the heat sink on my Jetson nano were not threaded. You may have had the same condition. The screws provided with the fan kit I received are *not* self-tapping screws, and should not be forced into the hole in the heat sink. Not only could you screw the screws up that way, but you run the risk of a small particle of metal getting loose and into the circuitry of the nano. The holes in the heat sink were the correct size to be tapped for the screws provided. Mine were metric screws, M3-.05 and the smallest metric tap in my tap and die set worked perfectly to prepare the fan to receive the screws. You must exercise extreme caution when tapping the holes. Go slowly, back out a partial turn often, wear eye protection and use compressed air or puckered lips and lung power to blow any possible chips of metal as far from the workpiece as possible. When finished, double-check and triple check, with a nice bright light source that there are no chips in any bad place.
Interestingly, although I am using the same case as you, and am using the pi v2 camera that sparkfun provides with their Jetson kit, after all the assembly was finished and I powered up the Jetson and followed NVIDIA's lesson to get the camera working, the image my camera produced was upside-down! I had to disassemble the camera mount and flip the camera over so that the cable is exiting the top of the mount to get an upright image. This disagrees with both your build and the pictures presented by the case manufacturer. There is no way to tell by looking at my camera module that the image is going to be upside-down compared to other similar modules! I also suspect that my fan is blowing the opposite of yours, based on the layout of the wiring, as my fan is unlabelled on both sides. I will mount mine with the air blowing into the case, as you suggest.
Thanks for your efforts and excellently instructive videos!
HTH. HAND.
You need to watch my video series . . . you put it together and then jumped over to NVIDIA lessons. You need to stick with one set of lessons. In a later lesson I show you how to address the upside down image in the command used to launch the camera. I agree on the screws, but since I dont have tapping equipment, I just forced the screws in.
Measured heatsink temp with fan in both positions (label visible or not). Heatsink temp : 29C with fan label visible; 26.8C with fan label towards heatsink (confirmed multiple times). Used sudo install lm-sensors hddtemp to measure temp. Fun experiment to see if fan position really matters - evidence supports the way fan is installed in the video. Thanks!
Glad we got that right. I was wondering if it matters but I can think a difference between sucking and blowing as far as getting heat off the heat sink
Thanks for the info. Interesting that the company that makes that case has a video on how to install everything, and the fan is label side up. ruclips.net/video/v0yUUtqKDhU/видео.html Lucky me...my fan came with the wrong connector...2 instead of the 4 pin connector. So a no go. Return in process.
Whew, that was an accomplishment getting through lesson #1. I already did the "headless" boot (lession #4) on a laptop w/ wired ethernet and it was fun. Onto lession #2. Thanks Paul for a great series ahead. BTW, for those who got the B01 (type B) JN, no need to jump J48 (type A), the board already comes with the jumper in place for you.
Others may have a look again. When I got my B01 the jumper only sat on one pin. So I still had to bridge the two pins
Good Tip for avoiding those annoying Windows messages, when the SDCard filesystem is not recognized: Disable Autoplay on removable memory devices, and not even one message pops up. If autoplay is active, Windows tries to open the conneced memory device in the explorer and fails. Why it tries that 10+ times escapes my logic, but hey it's windows. And btw. even if I repeat many comments here: Extremely helpful and informative video. Some ppl may find it lengthy, but i highly appreciate how you show every detail of the process. Because sometimes if you are trying something new which you aren't familiar to, even small missing bits of information can send you on a timeconsuming jurney of finding the solution. With many false paths to follow of course. So thanks for your videos! Top content
Superb first lesson, I am a qualified teacher and I cannot fault how you put this first tutorial together I now have a built Nano looking forward to lesson 2.
What an honest and nice person.
that girls unfortunately don't wanna sleep with :-(
shut up david
All put together with the pi cam, wireless mouse and keyboard I picked up locally, WIFI works great also. Dont forget to put the jumper in when using the power adaptor. Logitech is being delivered tomorrow. I was able to get the image recognition going, pretty awesome stuff. took me quite a while as I have no idea about ubuntu.
Cant wait for the lessons.
Follow-up to my previous posts about SD card image. Highly recommend that you download the image Paul is using in the videos. The image he is using is shown at 26:15. When I got my Jeston Nano, I downloaded the latest version, which is dated 2019/12/17. I had problems with it and decided to switch to the 2019/07/19 version, which is the one Paul is using. After installing it (and doing a change described in Lesson 10), all my problems disappeared. Since the problems I encountered pertain to OpenCV, I will post more information in Lesson 10, where OpenCV is introduced.
Thank you John. It is a really fluid situation and it takes much work to make the videos, and then when new image is released, it breaks some of my instruction. Safest thing, like you say, is to use the same image I am using.
You are welcome. You wouldn't believe how many hours I've spent trying to resolve the issues I had with the 2019/12/17 image! At any rate, I am having way too much fun following along.
Update to my post. I posted the OpenCV information in Lesson 11, not Lesson 10.
i am a y4 student from china, and i will graduate this year. thanks for your video and i appreciate it. it help me to keep leanring new technologies to promote professional development.
thank you very much!!!
Love your work. Ordered my Nano. Used your links, bud. Looking forward to getting started!
the jumper thing is at 39:56 , if anybody is looking for it.
amazing lesson by the way !
Consice, professional and to the point tutorial 👌
I appreciate that!
Thanks!
WOW! Thank you so much. Such an encouragement, I appreciate it.
This is a plumbing trick, but it works with any threaded connection. If you quarter turn the threads in the opposite direction, like you're loosening, you will feel the threads seat. Then you can run them up and have no issue with cross threading.
By you I learn twice as fast as by others.
Ive been watching your videos for a few years now, can only now say I feel like subscribing.
The uncut raw demonstration is you and finally something i can accept. Not sure why you do thou - whos got time to waste on building something backwards?
Otherwise this info is invaluable and much gratitude, looking fwd to getting nano and rewatching with alittle fast fwding.
I do not edit my videos and leave my mistakes in. That is because the most important thing you can learn from me is how to troubleshoot and debut. I talk out loud, and let people see my thought process when I have made a mistake. It also teaches normal people that making mistakes, finding them, and fixing them is a normal and important part of engineering. So, I do not apologize for leaving mistakes in, there is a purpose to it.
Hi Paul, i finished your Jetson videos 2 years ago. All of them were awesome now i would like to do Spanish videos teaching jetson nano for all Spanish community. Wish me luck!
Sounds great!
Thanks for this Paul, I'm probably going to get into this in a few weeks after some work projects are wrapped up. I enjoyed the lightning backdrop!
Yeah been a couple of places "Enter At Your On Risk", I personally had a great time. I did not get mine going. I got the Nano assembled but the wires that snap to the WIFI card were bent at the connection point and the ribbon cable from the camera was torn but got them on order and should be here this next week. It was a good video looking forward to more. Have a great Labor Day.
Sorry for the difficulty. Really scared me those little connectors for the wifi antenna. I usually keep a few spare pi camera ribbon cables on hand. Also, be really careful with the clip on the nano board for the camera cable. That one is easy to pop off.
@@paulmcwhorter Your right on those Nano board connector they are delicate, I've never seen the snap on antenna wires but hey whats a little irritation along the way...LOL.
Paul, the absolute Chad of engineering. Gosh do I love your series.
For the jumper to get the barrel jack power supply to work, it turned out for me, that there was already a jumper on it, but only over 1 pin, and not both. I found that and moved it be over both. Up and till then, I was having so much trouble finding the pins to put the jumper on and I thought I noticed that the jumper was already on it, but couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Didn't notice that it was only over one pin and not both.
Thank you Paul. First video as you Said is for totally beginner. You explain well. Go on with New ones.
I have watched through for 5 episodes and re-watching from this beginning because after weeks, my Nano is arriving today!!!
I will be following along as soon as I get it in a case.
I was trying to configure a bluetooth speaker with my nano, using the Waveshare Wifi antenna kit you recommended. Wifi works just great, but the bluetooth/ubuntu configuration was over my head. Thankfully my monitor has an audio out jack and my regular speakers work fine so I can now watch the whole series on my Nano ubuntu machine!
Having a problem with the camera. I was looking for a course like this to intergrate AI into hardware/sensors. Just started your videos and up to 10 and think they are great. You are very clear. I do have a background in ML/DL so hope to catch up soon. I just received the Jeston Nano and did the physical install. While installing the Rasberry Pi Camera I was having problems plugging the cable into the slot. The pop-up plastic broke off on both slots. Will I have problems? Do I need to get a replacement slot?? I assume they come out. Thanks
The camera has to be plugged in securely, and yes bery easy to break those plastic tabs. See if you can find repleacements, or at least see if the broken one can be used to wedge back in to create that very tight connection between camera and board.
Thank you so much for working so hard to make this technology accessible to so many people, professor. I have finished all your Arduino videos and am super excited to find this course. You are an inspiration.
You mention a "link below" where we can find the exact parts you ordered. Where, please, is that link? BFP
Started with a New Jetson Nano 2gb and going to cover all your videos sir and I highly appreciated you sir for your detailed tutorials
@paul mcwhorter's classes are the best in whole world. keep spreading knowledge. thanks for providing these precious lectures for free
Looking back in this vid to refresh. One thing I do use libre office write for is to capture my doc notes when doing things on the board and referring to internet urls as I go, because you need to simply cut n' paste url for future ref in your "how-to" doc.
Getting started! I finished putting it all together I got a logitech camera instead of the raspberry, only weird thing I noticed was on my Jetson Nano I had two slots where you inserted the raspberry pie. Instead of one slot and the pins next to it I have 2 slots.. I hope this won't affect me down the road! Having fun already!
Ok, last comment! :) Just got the Jetson B01 and got it fully installed (kind of forgot wifi password) and all seems to be running well. Order all parts you suggested other than the keyboard mouse and have it hard wired to my network for now. All I can say I YAY I'm back using Unix! :)
Funny Story... I ordered a Jetson Nano so I'm able to follow your lessons... not the way around 😁
Fan of your Arduino and Raspberry pi lessons. You are absolutely the best!!
Have fun!
Got the Xavier going. . Yea.. retired ;). Very good stuff this! No jumper needed. A few hiccups. #1 wifi plugs were mildly difficult issue and one broke .. ordered new plastic case with new plugs. Other less critical issues like proper HDMI adapter ... old VGA to HDMI did not work, making me think everything was broken when in fact it was just the video interface. Very excited to work through your tutorials!
Hey Paul. Finally got all my stuff together. I got the wrong acrylic case but it seems mine was quite a bit easier to assemble than yours. Im new to Mac and had to install using that so I was off the script for a while last night but its all good. Up and booted. Works great 1st time! I'll do the remaining lessons and get all caught up over the weekend. This is an amazing example of how good a teacher you are. Not to be blowing smoke .... but I cannot express how much you have helped me here!!! Thanks.
Thank you for the great tutorial, off to tut 2 :) ; process went flawless: Windows 11 + Hikvision Micro SD Formatter + SD Card formatter and Finally Balena Etcher worked without a single error..Whooop. Nano set up and running like a charm
We don't hate you :) Thanks for the playlist!
Blow dryer to heat the case and box cutter is what I used, just wish one piece didnt arrive broken! I did end up scratching the acryllic though
If you got the NEW Jetson Nano B01 version with 2 camera connectors instead of 1 then your jumper pins were moved a little to the side of the original spot and it has a jumper already installed but ONLY on one pin, take it out and place it on both then it should boot up!
Thank you for all the time and effort put into your videos
I'm here to start a fun trek. I saw the Vector Robot and it got me very interested in AI robotics. Now yes, the Vector Robot isn't even close to true AI and is why I am here. I want a simple robot exactly like the Vector Robot but be able to create it so it has true AI in that it can act as a mouse exploring the house even collecting items to take back to its' home base. I liked the Vector robot since it has a tractor type body with even the right arms if modified enough could pick items up. With your help here I hope to make a GREAT personal robot which would make my Roomba very very happy. But at the end before I can build such a toy I need to simply ear exactly what is machine AI learning.
It would be great if you can explore the jetson nano in a headless mode. Since its goal is to serve to ai on the edge, having a desktop environment is a waste of resources. I'm very interested in this device for robotics and artificial vision applications. Right now I'm waiting for mine to arrive, due to my location (Bolivia) I have to wait more than a month when I order online :(. But, in the meantime I'm so looking forward to follow your tutorials. You are a very good teacher and mentor!
I feel the same way. The nano is such a neat little package, and then connect up an octopus of wires to it. I like to run it as minimal as possible. The easiest is to connect it up once, get its IP address sorted out, and then just SSH into it. With wifi, then you just need one cord for power. Also you can run VNC to remote view the desktop. Should probably make a lesson on that pretty early on.
@@paulmcwhorter I also have the Jetson setup in headless mode with ssh. Looking for a python ide....I saw you asking JetsonHacks the same question. Hope you came up with a good python ide to use with the Jetson
@@quaternion-pi I have it figured out and will show in an upcoming video. The issue was a tough one, as you could get them installed and running, but could not get them to use the image libraries. But have it figured out, but beyond what I can explain in simple comment. Will do in a future video as we get ready to really start coding. Right now, you can use gedit to play around, as it is a simple text editor
@Paul McWhorter I saw where you were having trouble getting the python ide to work. Glad you got it sorted out. One thing comes to mind for your future tutorials. Once you have a tested and working environment, might try putting it into a Docker container, so that everyone in your “class” is working on exactly the same system, independent of platform. I know that this solution has helped other educators... especially those that were messing with OpenCV. Anyway, just a thought for future projects. It also helps if you suddenly find that you have to make a major mod and can update the class without having to reinstall everything. Just update the container.
my JN 4Gb has the 'little jumper' in a different location and it came attached to one of the two pins only for transportation, I assume. Need to locate the pins and adjust the jumper otherwise, no booting after plugging in the power. Might be an updated version of the JN 4Gb compared to Paul's lesson #1
Assembly, file downloads, formatting SD card OK. A bit of confusion flashing the SD card. Don't unzip the image file. Just point balena etcher to the image zip file. Then all OK.
Starting my youngest grandson up. Remembered the problem I had at the time and thought I'd share this with new-comers just in case.
Excellent intro! I always learn something new watching your tutorials! The setup instructions are great!
I think this project costs a little too much for me to get into... Primarily for a toy without much direct usefulness... I will watch and follow the project though... It looks interesting... Thank you for presenting it.
Jeston always too expensive.
@Tony Lewis ... OK, please share how you plan on using it... OK?
I’m thinking about an AI capable lawn mower that can tell the difference between dogs and cats and react accordingly... But in all seriousness, first I’ll learn it’s capabilities and limitations, then I’ll decide what I might use it to do. Learn first. Do second. FWIW, I learned much of what I know about Arduino from Paul. I didn’t have any use in mind for it when I started. Now, there are Arduinos everywhere around here.
I was wondering can I still do the lessons without the case and fan. I have one coming in a few days but, I wanted to get started right away
Please respond if you have an answer thanks in advance.
Thank you for making this series and all of the others. I have subscribed and I don't skip your ads. I do have a complaint/request. Please don't make us commit the same errors as you, this isn't live instruction. I was frustrated to have to take apart the case when you found it was put together incorrectly.
I have received all my gear and I am ready to get started. Looking forward to it.
OK, great. This first lesson is a little tedious. It takes me a couple of times to get the acrylic case put together right. But, we will get the stuff assembled and booted in the first lesson. I am really looking forward to this series and happy to see there are people who are going to be follwing along.
@@paulmcwhorter 1:42 describes me to a t, thank you for your efforts on this series. I appreciate your Patreon plea, help a brother out. You deserve a little support. TY! I have some catch up coming. lol.
the biggest problem with jetson nano is that there are hardly any good books that we can read and learn from..that's frustrating. THAT makes Pauls lessons the only rigorous source of comprehensive information for the nano.
Is it possible some how that macbook Air M1 can be use an monitor for Jetson board ?
Please reply I am new to this field.
Thanks to my wonderful wife she got me the Jetson Nano 2 Gigabyte version...formatted, etched, installed, wifi is up...Lesson 1 = successful!
Sounds like perhaps you have found the ultimate woman. Congratulations. Now, on with the lessons!
Hi Paul, just discover your content a few weeks ago. Great Tutor, looking forward to start. Great work!
Thanks! This Jetson Nano series is one of my favorites. Some really cool stuff will be coming in future lessons. Stay tuned!
Hi Paul. I have the same problem as you since 8:34. How did you format the SD card?
Maybe the fan screws are large so that when the heat sink gets hot and expands they don't loosen?
Hard to find the product available. Could you put the exact model number that you use for the video in the description Amazon is sold out has been for a while so many other variations
This is the kind of content that will truly democratize AI and Maker accessibility. Thank you sir!
1:13:50 I'm on Mac.. Any idea what my key for ESC will be?
I'm super excited for this series and to see where you can take us with this. I think all your video series are fantastic! Thank you for your work. What is your favorite coffee?
Since you asked, starbucks french roast whole beans
Thank you very much, you make it possible to understand such a complex topic as jetson nano
Thank you for all your efforts teaching people all around the world. These Jetson lessons I will follow in a slower tempo, and make the decision to save for one when I'm familiar with it and be able to integrate it for home projects. First lesson done at least 😏
Hi Paul. Thank you for the great videos. I am just starting the jetson nano videos. I am starting the AI learning then go back to the smart car. I will be incorporation parts of the nano project with the smart car for my mars rover.
Was on your website.. didn't see a way to reach you from there? So came into here.. My question is would an AI work on a Raspberry pi 4 with 4 or 8GB of ram?
Got caught out by the jumper on the power supply side - the board came with the jumper in place and, to old eyes at least, appeared properly positioned. SO I assumed all was good until I tried firing up. When the power supply failed, I used the USB connection to check that the fault wasn't in the Nano. All good, so I tried removing the jumper, just in case on the slightly different configuration (I thought I was getting exactly the same as in this video, but instead it came as the 2-camera slot version). It came off TOO easily, so obviously wasn't in place properly - it certainly took time to try to get it to slot back. All good now, but something to watch out for.
I am a 11 year old and have learnt arduino from you and am currently learning Linux and raspberry pi. I am so happy as I am the only child in my class knowing about “arduino”
Hey Paul, i don't think that multiple window popping up issue is normal, never seen that before on Windows when flashing an SD card.
Didn't have that freeze on first boot either.
Thx again for the very detailed instructions, i 3D printed my case instead.
Please guys don't let all these commands make you forget the most important command "bring yourself a nice big cup of iced coffee" Lol
I love your tutorials.I have learnt how to use arduino from your new arduino tutorials
You make tutorials better than any other channels on RUclips.
You are really a great and hard working person
You explain everything in detail and tell us everything about the subject of your video.
I want to meet you but I live in India
Thanks! You are going to go very far in life. You are taking the initiative to do more than those around you. I predict you are going to be a great success in life if you keep this up.
Thanks
@@paulmcwhorter Can I Do this series on raspberry pi instead of jetson nano
When I click your link to buy the Jetson Nano, It only has 1 used and 1 new available. But, I see that Amazon has other Jetson Nanos. I need to buy 2 and would prefer to get them new. Also, are we supposed to get the "A02" or "B01"? Thanks.
Is there a link to this set of videos on the main website? I can find pages for all of the other series but I can't find this one.
Got my Jetson Nano off of your parts list. Followed your instructions and all went very well. Looking forward to the next lesson. You are an excellent teacher. I followed your tutorials on Fusion 360 and that is a snap for me now. So, I am looking forward to learning from and with this platform.
Should we first watch this series or the Playlist jetson nano NX machine learning?:)
Thank you very much Paul. I watched your videos all day... It is the best Jetson Nano video series on the net I ever seen... Booomm:)
G'Day Paul! started my Nano lessons, ordered some kits while waiting for them to be delivered I thought I should at least get started with basic stuff.
Sir. I must say that you are the best.
BRB, gotta get the coffee. It's 12:18am in DFW < 3
Impressive. I was wondering if the nano module can be used on Xavier NX developer kit, as the Nvidia documentation state they share same pin out. Already have the nano module but eyeing the NX development board with it support for M.2 drives support
Would this tutorial series be compatible with the jetson nano 2GB? I know that the new 2Gb version lacks a few physical connections but I don't know about the software aspects.
Hello, I know you stated it would be good to have the same hardware but I was given the 2gb version of the nano. Will I be able to the same tutorial videos and follow along? I do plan on purchasing the 4gb version eventually but I figured I start by get my hands dirty in the process.
I received my jetson Nano CPU Fan with 4 pin yellow,blue,red and black cable. After putting in my fan not spinning. The fan only spin with only black and red cable. May I know the yellow and blue cable is for sensor and may be the Fan only spin when reach certain temperature? What is your advice?
Paul:
Is there a lesson outline available for this series? Given the scope of AI applications addressable with this level of hardware, it would be interesting to see what you will be including in the scope of these lessons.
Good question. first we will familiarize ourselves with Linux terminal and the command line. Then will give some introductory lessons on python. Then we will learn OpenCV, and we will begin developing AI based on use of openCV in python. My interest is to be interacting with the real world through the GPIO pins.
@@paulmcwhorter Thanks Paul. I look forward to following your lessons as we explore AI in real-world applications. Richard K5ANR
Hi sir, love your lessons but did you look into the obsobot AI camera?
Thank you for lessons!!! Respect for you!
Hi Paul, Great Content. I''m learning alot from your lesson. I have a question. Instead of running a webcam, is there a code to run rtsp stream on network in this framework? Thanks
You can, but would have to figure out how to grab your rtsp stream in gstreamer. I am sure there is a gstreamer parameter that would allow that, but havent done it so not sure what it is.
Wow.... How difficult to assamble this small thing. I won't do it alone. Thanks for all that excellent tutorials
Hi mr Paul, when i boot the jetson nano developer kit, the mouse and keyboard isnt working, i try a wired one also wireless pack, i try to put out the batteries and still not working, i use an 5V 4A barrel and the micro usb to boot it and still not working, idk what to do know, im a really beginner on this, could u help me?
In August 2019 when lesson 1 of this extraordinary learning series was made, the Jetson Nano version AO2 was the then available model. Mr. McWhorter, I would like to ask: For those of us who are now starting on Lesson 1, do you recommend that we should buy the Jetson Nano previous version A02, or do you now recommend that it is better to buy the Jetson Nano latest version B01?
I think it would be wise to use identical hardware that I am using and also make to use the same jetpack image.
I got all supplies as you suggested yet I have gone with the B01 version of the 4g board and didn't go with the new 2g $59 version since I found it has way less options. By next month I will be up to speed and buildmy own Vector Robot. How hard can it be? :)
My Jetson Nano doesn't boot and it is plugged into the power adaptor that you recommend. I'm using the jumper on the pins but don't know what can be happening.
I got the metal case and the attenas and fan, but Im missing the wireless module.
Loved the lesson everything worked as instructed built my own 3D printed case thank you very much I am a patreon subscriber.
If I wanted a certain size drone for my nano to control would you be able to print
I wonder if he's drinking iced drinks or if he's drinking some Chips and Processors. Anyway, a great tutorial.
Hi, my Jetson Nano is shutting down when I try to run camera and Lidar both. I have connected with Lipo battery of 4A, 2200mah,11V and 14.43Wh. I'm using buck converter to step down(4A, 5V) the voltage. If I unplug Lidar then it's working fine but shutting down if both connected. And I'm also able to run both with 5V, 4A adapter. Can you tell me where the problem is? Thank you so much. :)
