Bridge the Physical World: Kotlin/Native on Raspberry Pi

on YouTube ↗36m

" summary

Compiles Kotlin/Native for Raspberry Pi, cross‑compiles from macOS and runs a working rock‑paper‑scissors robot that blinks LEDs, reads buttons and drives servos via PiGPIO and an I2C PCA9685 driver; uses generated C bindings, CValuesRef and memScoped for arrays and staticCFunction for callbacks, automates build and SCP with Gradle tasks, and captures images by execing camera tools. TensorFlow C API builds mostly fail so prebuilt Raspberry Pi binaries are used; basic tensor ops load but full image inference is not completed.
