Shipped my over-engineered personal website with a CMS using Next.js 15 + Cloudflare Workers + D1 + R2 along with Drizzle ORM Tailwind + shadcn/ui, learned a lot as I was wanting to see what @cloudflare.social had to offer. Check the complete post here 👉 jacksonbarnes.net/posts/blog/m...
Some of my other interests include educational technology, epistemology, cognitive science, brain-computer-interfaces, computer science, procedural modeling, and enjoy lurking around tools for thought communities. Away from the computer I enjoy; making music/art, bouldering, and swimming.
Hello @bsky.app, my name is Jackson. My experience revolves around Spatial Computing (AR/VR), Unity/.NET, Full-Stack Web-Dev, Product Design, iOS/Android, UI/UX Design, AI/ML, 5/6G, Cloud Technologies, and Human Performance tech. I'm currently exploring robotics!
Next: Training custom policies and exploring spatial computing integration. #SOARM100 is an incredible entry point into robotics. LOE was relatively low and definitely recommend anyone exploring robotics check it out. Full build log: jacksonbarnes.net/posts/projec...
Used my custom Dawn #MCP server with Claude Code for project management: 8 tasks tracked, 3 documentation artifacts, Time tracking integration This was my first AI-assisted hardware project
Teleoperation successful: ~330Hz communication frequency between arms.
- Smooth, responsive control
- Leader arm movements replicated in real-time by follower
- Had some cable strain issue with follower arm that caused disconnections initially but repositioning fixed it
Calibration was a bit tricky. Had to sync leader/follower arms through 3 positions: zero, rotated, and rest. Hit a gripper range error (-84% instead of 0-100%) on the leader arm but solved it by repositioning to neutral mid-range.
Assembly took 1-2 hours per arm. The documentation is decent, but @phosphoai has an excellent detailed assembly walkthrough youtube.com/watch?v=PG_E... . Leader arm gets a hand controller end-effector vs gripper on follower arm
Parts needed: 12x STS3215 servo motors, 2x servo adapter boards for XIAO, plus various cables and connectors. Got everything from Seed Studio
. 3D printing took ~48 hours total on my Bambu Labs P1S with standard PLA
Finished building my first robotic arm project - the SO-ARM100. An open-source, 3D-printed teleoperated arm capable of using SOTA autonomous manipulation policies built in collaboration with @hf.co Here's my complete build breakdown 🧵
