Retired software engineer (he/him) living near Tacoma in the Pacific North-West region of the United States.

Interested in 3D printing, home robotics, µcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi), anything that whirrs or clicks.

Trying to remember these two rules:
"Don't be a dick" -- Wil Wheaton
"The failure mode of clever is asshole" -- John Scalzi

The latest mini-project is a remote control for the robots. Presenting the RoMote in it’s early form.

Uses an Arduino Micro, nRF24L01 radio and a bunch of odd LEDs and switches. Box is quickly 3D printed using Protopasta’s Candy Apple Metallic Red filament. Neither the picture nor my printer do the color justice — it’s wonderful.

I’m firmly of the belief that robots are autonomous, but sometimes (especially during development and debugging), you need to step in.
