merlin / alex glowHey! You may have seen my #electronics videos on Hackster.io - or various #robots, including my shoulder owl Archimedes & other #CompanionBots; my Ouija #ESP8266 planchette PCB; or the Companion Core...
Or seen me in Make:, Hackaday, HackSpace mag, the Adafruit blog, TWiT, Recomendo, etc.
As I make new project threads, I'll link them below :D
For now, you can find more here: https://bit.ly/ayglow
Alex Glow | Notion
Alex creates electronic projects, tutorials, unboxings, and video interviews with hardware luminaries as the lead Hardware Nerd at Hackster.io – the online community for hardware developers. She also occasionally produces videos and/or assists with events for companies such as Arduino and Edge Impulse.
Had to post for International #WomenInRobotics day (https://www.womeninrobotics.org/wir-day/2024), but I'll keep updating with progress reports – and inspiration from others :D
Love meeting up with my #CompanionBots compatriots at events – including @gella, @geekmomprojects, and Anouk Wipprecht (the Spider Dress totally counts!) 🫶🏻

Can I *finally* turn this pile o' parts into a #DarkAcademia flavored #owl #robot in time for #Halloween? (Or Bay Area #MakerFaire??)
Got a ton of travel coming up this month... but we shall see! >:D
