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 🛠️ ✨

Followed through on the Tuesday livestreams, which will now alternate with my #HacksterCafe interviews :) Here's the first one: https://www.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!

It’s #HackOClock 🛠✨ Going live in a few to get my owl #CompanionBot, Archimedes, ready to co-host #HacksterIO Impact Spotlights tomorrow and rock #MakerFaire this weekend!

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 https://glow-ahead.ghost.io/#/portal )

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

Join us in 2 hours for #HacksterCafe (or catch the recording): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN0J89SCBeQ&list=PLsRBa4uXjihZwcYrwwuPhsYxWtFwMBqDF&index=1

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.

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!
