Could you also give me a brief idea of how all the items should be wired? the duet, the raspberry pi, the pi camera, the ultrasonic sensor, the screen for the pi, the pump.
Really now? You're asking for a complete circuit diagram? Are you serious?
Your initial post lists a couple of electronic devices and asks how to wire them - entirely all of them. Same with your latest post. In a near-duplicate post, you request advice on the programming aspects - to be precise: on all of them.
Honestly, that’s quite a big shot, so it might be helpful to give us an idea of what base knowledge on your part we can build upon. So far, your request is just a mix of dropping names of components and marketing speech. At least you obviously master the latter one

Hey, yeah i get what you mean and i am sorry about that. i used Ai to create two different posts, based on the specifications i had, for the two different forums to get insight from each. I really have no base knowledge. This is for a senior design project, where we are given a sponsor and a problem statement, and are instructed to research, design and manufacture a prototype. We are now in the manufacturing stage after consulting different lab coordinators about the components we need to purchase, and i thought it would be best to ask directly on the duet forum for help on where to start and how to continue. Sorry for the ambiguity. All help is welcome really. There really is no need to be aggressive about it though, it is not that deep. Im just trying to learn

Thanks for the honest answer. You have just yourself to blame for my aggression, it's my natural reaction to stupid AI chatter. Take my good advice and better use your own device - the one between your ears.
I really have no base knowledge.
Great! I suggest to start with the RasPI. Attach a power supply, keyboard and screen. Then, play with it to explore the operating system. Tutorials can be found on the internet (but don't waste your time on YouTube). Get used to the PI's command line interface (CLI).
Next step is to attach the ultrasonic sensor. On the fly, you will learn a lot about the PI’s interfaces and how to deal with them. Pick one of these tutorial projects who address your specific sensor - there are plenty of them. And don’t panic: most of them cover the wiring, too.
Then, go and add a camera. Use a low-resolution device, it makes image recognition easier. Once again, use the internet to educate yourself. Main purpose of this exercise is to become familiar with a suitable framework (or library) and how to write code for your specific requirements.
Some weeks later, when you are confident to operate the PI and the sensors in a manner which fits with your project, return to this thread: Then, we will talk about the mechanics and how to control them. Your post will not stay unnoticed.

Sorry [Rant]
@Rackan-Mansour Using ChatGPT-AI for your Senior design project fits like a glove to this smart generation.
If that's the rule and not the exeption, I see a bright future ahead of us.
Is it legal to use AI for such purposes where you come from? -
@o_lampe it may not be illegal but as we see it may not be as helpful as people want to believe (-;

. I just used to it to save time writing comprehensive forum posts. I don't believe it is illegal anywhere. It is being used as an enhancement, meaning it should allow us to take on harder challenges. Similar to the introduction of the calculator way back when. -

Dream on. Recall my reaction on that ”stupid AI chatter” as I called it? Read it again. I don't like you to waste my time on such dumb posts just to save a bit of your own.

Stupidity has always been free and available in vast quantities. And yes: it’s perfectly legal.
It is being used as an enhancement …
Right, AI amplifies the collective incompetence it has been trained with. So long, and thanks for the fish!

I'd compare a calculator with a translator, but not with AI.
Because for both cases you need to know what to type in. -
@o_lampe I fully agree. Type ’42’ into the calculator - it will never return ’Douglas Adams’, the single reasonable answer I would accept.
Same here: If you don’t know the question, the AI can’t answer it. Having no clue whatsoever, and utterly missing ’Big Thought’, the poor OP even asked the AI to generate the question on its own. Well, the AI wasn’t that bad, in essence, it stated:
”We want to automate our major enterprise, look at my
mixed bagtreasury of ’something’, uh, no idea, c'mon and elaborate the blueprints - adhering to best practice, of course.”Sounds like a lucrative job offer - lest the salary
. Our admins removed an identical post asking for the required codework to be sent, but the OP simply reposted it a few days later, thus proving a rather limited understanding of social interaction. 
Of course you were perfectly right with your ”Rant”, the OP is a gambler, always looking to reduce the wear of his precious brain cells to a minimum by putting the burden of thinking on others. Let's see how far he comes - be sure that, at some point, he'll smash into the wall of reality.

Alright this has gone far enough off the rails. If you want to discuss our future AI overlords, take it to off topic.
