Hi everyone - It's come to my attention that there has been someone masquerading as myself, responding to some comments here with a link to a Telegram chat to win a prize from me. THIS IS A SCAM, I am not holding a contest, nor do I have a Telegram account. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE MESSAGES!! It's happening on a lot of my videos, I'm taking steps to remove them manually, but as I have 162 videos, it will take some time. If you do run across a suspicious comment, I would appreciate you letting me know at info@dronebotworkshop.com. Thanks! Bill (The real one!)
This channel offers truly amazing content on Arduino. Each video includes detailed and clear explanations, and the sample projects are practical and usable in real life. Additionally, the channel owner is also very talented in terms of the quality of images and audio. A must-watch resource for anyone interested in Arduino. Thank you very much Bill.
My Goodness Bill... This is FANTASTIC!! I'm in my mid 60's and am new to Arduinos- I have been following you for about 3 years- I have read books, tried Tutorials but just cannot get my head around programming- so This is just a Paradigm Shift for me-Thank you ever so much for showing us how to use this new tech !! You're the best Man!!
Best Intro/DEMO of ChatGPT that I've seen on YT. Amazing! As a coder myself, it's so awesome to see the future of this profession mature in my lifetime. Coding is a hurdle for many creatives that may soon be overcome. Thank you for presenting all of this in such an easy to digest manner.
While I have seen a lot in the news regarding ChatGPT, it was in the context of generating essays or papers. This is the first video I have seen for it's application to code development. Outstanding!
Great work. I have already started using ChatGBT to help me get ideas on how to write code for specific functions. I don't think that AI is a threat to anybody. I think about it as a helper tool that wee need to make use of it !
AI is an obvious threat as it has no morals or integrity and any reason to have it. It has no reward system to do the “right thing”. Simple questions like how to save the world could be interpreted to kill all lifeforms to save the ball of rock.
Mate, as always you deliver fantastic content! Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge with us. As a 73 year old who knows very little about micro controllers, I find this mind boggling! Thanks again, please keep up the great work
Tried this. Amazing. Seems ok on small projects, and did forget some coding when I asked to modify coding. Tried a display all ok , then added IR detectors, with leds. Noticed that it had added “IR sensor detected “ to the display as well as lighting leds. Didn’t ask for that, also didn’t clear screen before adding another message. That could have been me not telling it to clear screen after each message. So far impressed.
I have have been ignoring Adrian Twarog's channel's thumbnail simply because it had chat in CHATGPT. Now I know better. Thank you Sir, for always steering me in the right direction, ever so gently. Stay well.
I absolutely love how informative your videos are. I've been watching your content for the last week to familiarize myself with the Arduino IDE and ESP32
Hey Bill, Love each and everyone of your videos. You always manage to educate the viewers with new and fresh ideas. Like how to get all the various little micro controllers up and running on various projects. Great job and thank you again for taking time to do so. Also just wanted to let you know of a slight typo in your description of this video. You mention that ChatGPT was release on November 30th of 2023. we all have suffered from as I call it, (the dreaded Fat finger syndrome).
This is the ‘combo’, I’ve been looking for! I’ve done PLC programming, but I just love the Arduino capabilities. Yet, the de-bugging is a huge time killer. This is the way around that problem ! Can’t wait to try it. Of course, being 74, doesn’t make it easier…….
Ha! A new workshop video! 😃 I‘m in heaven - a friendly place where you can learn stuff so easily, because Bill takes a lot of care and love on his videos and the website. I wish I had such a good teacher when I was in school. 🥰
Another great video Bill. Thank you for the introduction. Now I'm looking forward to using ChatGPT in my projects and know what all the hype is about. Thank you for making getting an introduction to topics such as this an easy and enjoyable experience. You save so many people a lot of struggles. It's why I recommend your videos often when people have questions about certain topics in Arduino forums.
So generous from you. The best content in term of quality and quantity. I am your fun from years, since your beginning, and I am blessed with you tutorials. Thank you thousand times👍
I tried instructing it to making python code to send data to an arduino and it even made rhe arduino side code. I haven't tested it but it definitely will help speed up my projects. Thanks for the info.👍🏻
You're amazing, Bill. You always make things easier to understand. Thanks so much for your continued efforts in building our individual and joint capacities!
I’m at an beginning-intermediate level into coding and computer stuff, I’m starting late in life but I appreciate your video because you put things into a comprehensive, easy-to-digest format and you are a natural instructor. Thank you
I am a begiiner to the Arduino aand Raspberry Pi coding. This was an absolutely terrific introduction to the AI world. I cannot thank you enough. Liked, Subscribed and Shared (via an rmail) with my friends. Please keep up the great work, thank you.
First Thanks Dronebot for this video. I have seen ChatGPT in the news and had in my mind to search for it but you have done it ahead and explained it well. Amazing, finally see some automation in coding. My introduction to programming is in 1980 with PL1 with punch cards. I was very good at programming but completed my technology education with hardware. In the 1990s I asked my brother who is a programmer about any automation in coding, and his answer was C++. Now I see my kids playing with the Scratch and figured out they need to be introduced to real coding instead of superficial Scratch. I don't know anything about the recent development in AI but knew AI is the step to automate coding. After experiencing Google Assistance, dreamed of Ada, a coding assistant whom you would tell to create building blocks all done verbally commanding the assistance. Now I see it happening and I have shown this video to my teenage children about where the future is heading.
I have heard people writing malicious code with this but you can also use it to analyze for malicious code. Or even explain code you paste in. It is a great tool if you know enough to spot the mistakes
I'm sitting here and I can't believe it. If I dream a little more about what I just saw, soon you won't have to be able to program anymore. The joy is infinitely great, because then there is still more time left to realize dreams. (I hope the translator didn't make any mistakes).
i don't know how to code but i can copy and merge code a tweak it to make stuff. I was so excited when this came out i can make code so much easier its like the best tutor of all time. I can make code for my simple projects in hours where it would takes me days before. for example I made a stepper motor hand controller that uses a incremental encoder to control step and direction output single to a stepper drive. it has a reverse switch and adjustable acceleration.
An Excellent presentation I found it most useful. I have been trying ChatGPT for diagnosing code and getting ideas to solve coding problems, and now I will have a go at a complete program. As I consider the specification of the question to be crucial, my suggestion would be that a presentation around correctly describing the system requirements in a question to ChatGPT Cheers
that ai helped me creat an app for my phone from scratch. im impressed, just glad it isnt as sophisticated as people think. it falls flat on too much, overload it like a child asking 100 questions, and it gets lost in continuity.
Soo interesting and I love the esp32 because of the cheap Bluetooth. 🥳 I just ordered the power-house Orange Pi-5. Would you please make one of your cool videos on it? 😎 Thank you. Another thing I like about this ChatGPT is it is being tested in creating logical PLC industrial factory code for Siemens S7-300 for one example to run motors and switches, etc. and there are articles such as: 2012, ByteDance, TikTokers getting huge followings by blowing people’s minds about A.I. and ChatGPT
I love this feature of ChatGPT and stumbled on in quite by accident. I was chatting with Chat, and he offered a code snip. Wow! You can do that?? I'm really liking CircuitPython for this. So compact.
Your video was fantastic! Keep ahead of the technology with the "Ultimate Gpt Toolbar" Chrome extension, featuring voice control for GPT, the option to export to Word and PDF, and over 200 prompts. It's already a success, receiving 10,000 downloads in one day.
Another excellent video from Bill. In some ways I'm impressed by ChatGPT, but I'm also sceptical as to whether it could come up with anything useful if asked to write more complex code. (I realise that history is full of folk saying "that will never work" about things that nowadays are part of everyday life, so I'm being careful here.) In the last Arduino example (at 30.00), the button needs to be pressed for 2 seconds to switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit and back. Bill explains why and it's clear what's happening. So, how do we get ChatGPT to fix the problem? Simply reducing the 2 second delay time at the end of the main loop to something like 20 ms., fixes the switchover, but messes up the sensor. To do it properly requires a complete restructuring of the software to separate the display with its button from the sensor. As Bill points out, there are a number of ways to code it, but the actual task of even explaining to ChatGPT how you want it done is not trivial. As an experienced coder, I could probably write the code quicker than I could explain how to do it. So that leads me to several questions: 1. Is ChatGPT clever enough to get it right if told: "Modify the code to make the button respond in 20 ms."? 2. How would you get ChatGPT to code similar problems using sensors it knows nothing about? 3. Will ChatGPT eventually become better at coding than experienced humans and if so, when? 4. How do you debug code written by ChatGPT if it's so clever nobody can understand the code?
I had no real idea what ChatGPT was. This is far ahead of where I thought AI was. I'm curious if it can write more complicated code, like generating the code for a web browser or something. If I did that would it create a program that breaks it free from its shackles and allows it to roam the internet untethered, remaking the world as it sees fit? I for one welcome our new computer overlords.
If ya want to see something really cool, in the ChatGPT field, type the following: Write code to display the temperature and humidity readings from a DHT22 sensor on the serial monitor. Read the DHT22 every 2 seconds. Code for ESP32 WROOM and have it send readings over wireless using a data structure for values of temperature, humidity, channel number, date and time. Include the best libraries for all. The generated codes is interesting, although, I haven't tested it to see if it actually works. It's really fascinating!
I had a mate ask gpt to make a GPS Speedo with 7 segment display and I was quite impressed because it did it almost exactly like I'd done it myself. I suppose it's just sheer logic but still impressive 😎👍
I just bought some new things (ESP32, Hall Effect sensors, AD620 Amplifier and a few other toys) I'm going to be using ChatGPT for this. It looks like this is going to be a great help. Sometimes it's such a climb to learn a few new things. Looks like it's 100X better than Reddit :D
This is really cool. I am a semiconductor product engineer and serve as the team data analyst. Together we make things work. This is as cool as when the TI 59 came out - I extracted the equations from the main graphs of the Tom Welch Basic Data Handbook and wrote a mini-TCAD for CMOS and BiPolar circuits. I then went on to write the first Semiconductor PC CAD (CIF Code). chatGTP could port the whole thing over to a TTGO. Those programs can now be converted by GPT to VHDL and flashed into FPGAs and then on to neural ASICs. Realize Please ... When engineers are solving really complex equations they are more like GPT than a chimpanzee. I wrote a verbally interactive rendition of the semiconductor electrical parameter problem analyzer that principal product engineers swore had to have a PhD in device physics on the other end of the line. ( I am a cognitive anthropologist) When programming, the human and the GPT are essentially doing the same thing. My semiconductor diagnostics program gave opinions just like I would. The Sr. Principal Product Engineers had just not spent the time wandering in the semiconductor number jungle to know their way around. They had families and motorcycles and maybe were not autistic enough
Wow! Informative and impressive. Lets say you went several rounds and got a code that does the job, then a week later you want changes. I assume you could copy the working code to ChatGPT, and ask that it be revised to do x, y or z?
Hello Bill , thank you for all your work . Simple question , how would we know the ChatGPT is actually creating new code , maybe it just has thousands of examples and just has a database , or because the system is not linked to the internet , we are saying it cannot access a DB
I confess I started watching this video with a little bias cos AI leaves me cold and not because of 'SkyNet'. However I was engaged all of the time. I am still 'unheated' by AI but what you showed was interesting.
