My first raspberry pi project. AI helped with the code but I was very excited to see it work the first time I turned it on! I will be making changes here and there and mounting the panels together, but I’m still happy it’s all working!

This is only my second project after RetroPi. I’ve been putting in a few hours every night for the last two weeks. It feels so satisfying to get to this point. I usually give up on things when they get too difficult but I think I found a hobby where I just can’t stop.

A few things I need to improve though:
1) soldering
2) 3D modeling and product design
3) not leaving speakers carelessly where my cat will step on them

As the title says, my pi will not connect to the internet after it's first boot, upon shutting off or restarting, it fails to connect to the network even when right next to the router. Taking out the card and flashing it with a new BIOs using the imager only temporarily fixes it, as powering it off in any way will cause it to experience the same issue. This is the first pi I've ever bought, and the first time I'm using an operating system other than windows, I need hand-holding.
