Over winter break I was able to get some more progress done building circuits to get closer to an upgrade of my old, broken Roboraptor. There are a zillion different components to this project, and I wanted to test each separately to make sure they work before I make a …
Some time ago I ordered one of Parallax’s “Feedback 360” servos for a robotics project I’m working on. I wrote a little arduino library to control it, and it works well.
As-is, however, the servo itself is too big to fit where I want it to. I’m …
I have finally written code that actually compiled and ran on the little ESP32 board I bought, and I hate the blasted thing already.
For starters, the process is slow, annoying, and tedious:
Aaah, that’s been a nice break from coding. Four weeks with no commits pushed to Phoo. It’s a shame I left it in a broken state. I haven’t the slightest idea why it’s broken — but then again, all the other times Phoo broke, I never knew …
A few months ago I stumbled upon two old 1990s-era Armdroid 1000s in the back of my engineering teacher’s storage closet. Naturally, being someone interested in robotics, I wanted to see if I could get them to operate.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know diddlysquat about how they worked. So …
