We've ported the code from RPi 3, done some power testing and had some good results, but before going to the next stage, it would be nice to see if the project works as expected. Since we don't have the new chasis yet, let's use the old one for the moment - you can see what it looks like, there's a lot of space left once you replace RPi 3 with Zero W.

Everything's connected, let's fire it up! And...., it's all green :-) That is, only Zero W is green, all the other LEDs are red or blue, but it seems to be working. Now, all there's to do is to take it for a test drive. Which went as expected, so now it's time to start working on a brand new 3D printable chasis.

Some final thoughts for this log entry:

1. As our original github repo will be used for this project too (which makes sense as we'll use most of the original code), the old RPi 3 version is now available as a v1.0 release (git tag) and all new development will be done on the master branch

2. Just something we've learned along the way - while testing Autotron, it's always wise to do so on the floor, because leaving it on the table can (and eventually will) lead to the unwanted crash test, as seen in the picture below :-(

P.S. Altough unwanted, the crash test showed us that the chasis is the weakest part of Autotron - all of the other parts were left unharmed. Sorry for the slightly blurred image, the adrenaline was high at the moment ;-)
