Years ago at Maker Fair I saw a person followed by a rather impressive robot that seemed to have a mind of it’s own. Later I found out that the robot was being controlled by people through the internet using a site called LetsRobot. While that project is no more, that same person, Jillian Ogle, that I met is the creator of it’s successor RemoTV.

MicroBit, Adafruit Crickit, and MakeCode Robot!
I am trying out a new robot kit that I want to teach with. It was a bit tricky to get things to run with batteries, but I just added a 5V 2Amp voltage regulator on there and it is working like a champ. This is part of a build workshop at Living Computers Museum on Saturday. Continue reading MicroBit, Adafruit Crickit, and MakeCode Robot!

Micro:Bit Servo Robot
I have been working on trying to get my servo powered robot, Hack-e-Bot, working with the MicroBit so that younger kids can program it’s basic movement to navigate through an obstacle course. I now have custom blocks that can be used to control any servo powered robot using Pin 0 and Pin 1. Continue reading Micro:Bit Servo Robot
Playing with large robots.
Today we start getting trained on how to use the new large CNC mill that we will have access to at the makerspace.
This thing can take a sheet of plywood and cut it into whatever parts and pieces you could ever need. It also has 12 tool heads that it will change automatically. That means I no longer have to switch bits halfway through a job.
Fun times 🙂
