  1. OKAY. SO. Open Sauce (opensauce.com) is upon us. I wish to have Archimedes (my robot owl familiar) functional before tomorrow. And mayyyybe some other things, too?? I shall update this thread with progress :D :D

  3. Live on #DayGlowShow this Thursday: #Arduino Alvik companion bots with @ishotjr ! I'll share a new tutorial on designing 3D-printed parts for this little bot, and David's got some #MicroPython code to crunch. Plus, updates on our other #hardware projects & upcoming events. Can't wait 🛠️ ✨

  5. Followed through on the Tuesday livestreams, which will now alternate with my #HacksterCafe interviews :) Here's the first one: youtube.com/live/JluJCiS0DgE

    Includes a few demos – Archimedes #CompanionBot upgrades for #MakerFaire (and to use him as my co-host for #HacksterIO Impact Spotlights), #RaspberryPi 500+ (incl live disemboweling), Mind-Altering Gadgets, and more!

  7. Heading down to #OpenSauce to pick up my press badge (thx, #HacksterIO )!

    Spent a silly amount of time, as per usual, messing with my #CompanionBot Archimedes today. I'm replacing his worn-out CD accents with this bike inner-tube material I love #upcycling. Come hassle me about progress! 😆

    (Gave up on adhesives, and this method works much better: improved attachment, without waiting hours for it to dry, & with much lower respiratory risk in my apartment. Blog soon at glow-ahead.ghost.io/#/portal )

  9. This first one, from October 2023, is of my owl #CompanionBot Archimedes: hackster.io/glowascii/archimed

    It's a collage of multiple 3D models brought into plotter.vision – an awesome tool by @th – to turn the STLs into wireframe SVGs. You can zoom, rotate, and control other aesthetic factors 🤩

    I dumped each piece into @inkscape and then put them together.

  11. Working on a "Beanie Bots" concept :) First new #CompanionBot in a while, doing the simplest possible thing with a discontinued LightBlue Bean and @alpenglow Coin Cell Power LiPo adapter as the base.

    As part of that, trying to resurrect the LBBean ecosystem as much as possible!

    I'll write it all up at hackster.io/glowascii , but for now, here's a build thread to follow: chaos.social/@alexglow/1140003

  13. I should kick off this thread with Archimedes, the #owl #CompanionBot in the first pic! Made him for #BayArea #MakerFaire in May '18, with a #RaspberryPi brain, then updated in '21 with an #Arduino for motor control.

    I've been working on smaller versions since then – including Nano'Medes here, with #origami wings – and plugging away at the new "Prince Stolas" version. Both use my Companion Core PCB (more on that soon!) 🦉🤖💙✨

  15. Today I'm interviewing Katherine Connell, aka Smalls, about two rad #WearableTech projects: her LED tattoo Kickstarter and fox #CompanionBot tutorials! You know I love both those things, and hers are next-level :D

  17. I've managed to build a #esp32 qr code reader that sends the QRdata via Bluetooth to a @RaspberryPi pico W and store in a csv file. It will end up in a #Companionbot that I'm going to use in my classroom.

    I've been developing this OpenMinds toolkit for a @mtflabs / #Erasmus project for easier prototyping for the Pico board. I had this idea for a completely separate project and ended up using my own toolkit to prototype it. Which is probably a good sign.

  18. Yay! I found LeeLoo (my home made prototype #CompanionBot ) while sorting through moving boxes! She’s looking a little worse for wear though! Can’t wait to see if she still works!

  20. Sometimes the YouTube algorithm suggests freaking awesome stuff... like this steampunk robot build by "Gigatrix". The guy only has 103 subs - go give him some love! youtube.com/watch?v=nhne6m1RUA #robotics #CompanionBot #CompanionDroid #droid #maker

  22. Headed down to #TinyMLSummit with a new (WIP) tiny Archimedes #CompanionBot ! This bite-sized bot is @arduino based and will run #EdgeImpulse . We joined the #Tech4Good section, sharing #OpenSource #hardware insights & ideas re: #TinyML from various Hackster.io initiatives :)

  24. Just a reminder that we’re chatting with Danielle Boyer today at 4pm Pacific! If you don’t know who she is, you should! She’s doing incredible work using companion bots to preserve and reach Native American languages and founded a nonprofit (The Steam Connection) to provide opportunities for indigenous youth to learn STEM and robotics.
