Updated the 'brain' and 'pico' robot BOM on sowbot.co.uk might try and get the Pico actually running tomorow

Just fire up Freecad for a while, will make you feel much better about using about those proprietary systems..

I think you're confusing 'shouldn't' and 'can't'

Attacking another state with no legal basis for example; is a bad idea, It doesn't mean that it can't be done.

It's early days for it I think, but maybe in 12 months is my thinking. Bring up ROS now and wait with a working robot rather than a pile of parts? Second link should have been github.com/copper-proje...

Then gradual migration to github.com/openrr/openrr + github.com/openrr/openrr as they (and hopefully I) mature.

you design 2-layer PCBs because you're good at making efficient layouts. I design 2-layer PCBs because I'm a cheapass. We are not the same

✨ New bonus episode! ✨

I asked roboticists what is well known in their field of robotics, but outsiders find surprising. Their answers touch on technical challenges, societal impact, and even students' expectations.

Tomorrow my plan is to
- fork a version of the controller software for the 8 channel servo board.
- put an 8 channel servo board on the robot.
- work out the extents for the servos
- modify the servo board with walk sequencing software.
- finish the robot.

Hi, @octostudioapp.bsky.social and @cocubefun.bsky.social. We love this photo with the MicroBlocks logo in the back.

I can also do waypoints that are linearally interpolated. (realtime is just a fast stream of the same interpolation)

New Stable Release! Try it out at microblocks.fun/run/microblo... or install from microblocks.fun/downloads/la...

This is also what made Obsidian click for me. I was *so* tired of learning to write in one tool and then having to move to another. Well, now it's just something living atop the markdown files that *I* own.
