Hi all! Add your name to the tasks you want to do (edit the post above then add (<your-name>

). This should be chill, we should aim to finish this research within the next 7 days and add any useful things to this GitHub issue.
Yo, I was wondering if we can go with a refurbished machine to save some money. Also, considering that it's going to be stored in the back of the Twizy and not used directly, it kind of makes sense. However, it also depends on the budget we have to spend, lol. If we can afford a new machine, we can go with that as well. A PC is also under consideration.
Also, I've got a recommendation regarding Raspberry alternatives. You can check them out here: https://www.khadas.com/vim4

Yep, definitely. It could even have a broken screen since it would still be usable via Anydesk or ssh

Pros of PC: cheap and easier to upgrade. Cons: constant battery consumption and size.

This seems pretty interesting. We could have one these to solely manage the lidar or cameras. I'll think about this for a bit. Good find!
The fyp teams have several Raspberry Pis
And there is a 16GB RAM laptop with Ubuntu, now in G03
Fixed issue on why we couldn't ping the PX 2 from the new Dell Latitude laptop:
sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.100/24 dev enp0s31f6
, i.e. changing ip address of interface to have same subnet as px 2 (source)I'll leave it to one of you guys to try running sensors from this laptop. I'll hold off from buying a new computer.
Edit: I'll set up anydesk now and keep the laptop on if you wanna install some things. Also VPN is set up. I add the credentials on this page.
I am not exactly sure of our budget (yet), but I'd aim for no more than $1500 for now.
Alienware Laptop
Drive PX 2
Or, scale horizontally (keep our setup and add more hardware):
