1 Meter of Pi - Meet the Challengers

 

Welcome to the 1 Meter of Pi Design Challenge!

 

As your rocket ship blasts into space, speeding to Mars, you have 1m3 of space to grow your food and nutrients for the journey. Resources are limited, and you need to make it work!

Luckily, your friends at the Community have provided 25 successful applicants with a Raspberry Pi 4 2GBRaspberry Pi 4 2GB, a Pimoroni PIM487 Automation HAT, PIM486 Enviro HAT, and a PICO HAT Hacker PCB to help them prepare their 1m3 builds. You have 10 weeks to save your crew.

This could be the 1m3 of space on your rocket, or it could be used to feed the masses, or in an urban setting to help feed the needy during a global disaster.

25 successful applicants will get the Challenge Kit free of charge to build and blog their project.

    Well, I don't think its the problem with pi, maybe it is because of handlingimage.

    Actually, there was a sudden power cut while I was upgrading the Pi, the first time. So, I reformatted the SD card, again flashed and started upgrading it again.

    The second time when it didn't boot, I realized that maybe its not because of power cut. Actually, I am interacting with my Pi via SSH i.e wireless. Whenever I tried to upgrade it, I got some errors, maybe because of broken files or something else, I don't know. After encountering these errors, I was enable to use the terminal anymore. I got this error when I tried to run any command: "/bin/ls: .: Input/output error". After getting this kind of error, what I used to do is that I directly turned off the power supplyimageimageimage (there was no other option). I think this is the reason for the failure.

    Also, as far as I remember this used to happen when some kind of kernel image settings were happing on the terminal. When I encountered my problem (both the times), I think this was happening on the screen: "Adding something.image to ......kernal.....". I think that is why the pi is unable to boot.

    I think I will just buy a HDMI cable and again set it up (with wireimage).

    Thanks!

    I'm always too lazy to edit config files, and instead decide to take an even harder route of connecting a keyboard, my DSI display, setting up wifi, reboot, and then using SSH.

    Power cut? At most, that would ruin EEPROM.
