@piofthings Good luck in getting ready for Piwars

These robots are impressive youtube.com/watch?fbclid=I…

@NeilRedRobotics You have busy again, this new board looks really good Neil 🙂

Here's some pics of the new PPX board. It adds 12 GPIO pins to your #raspberrypi which can be configured as PWM, digital IO, ADC, or quadrature encoder inputs. Up to 4 boards can be stacked for more GPIO pins!

First day of the #PiWars Conference 2021 has been excellent. Big shout out to the gang of four @rwhb2 @recantha @Geeky_Tim and not forgetting @Worlds6440 for arranging. Great talks from the speakers, thank you all for taking the time putting them together.

@PiDrogen This is really cool, love how it stacks them all on the same run, and yes like others have commented here finding the drop off location is excellent 🙂. I would love to see the cube grab mechanism you have made.

Such a great use of old hardware Neil, so many places would have just thrown these away. I like the case and way you can store the keyboard inside when not in use. @NeilRedRobotics

@NeaveEng @JohnChinner @Worlds6440 @NeilRedRobotics I agree these are great boards to get you up and running and concentrate on the fun robotics tasks :)

@JohnChinner @ZodiusInfuser @Yuri_3_Rover Is this for a yuri3 upgrade?

@ZodiusInfuser @Yuri_3_Rover connectorisation of the wiring harness really makes maintenance and upgrades much simpler. Spend to save!

I do enjoy doing a bit of wiring. Creativeness coupled with calmness, and very satisfying when you have all the parts and tools you need on hand. Another job done on the @Yuri_3_Rover upgrade list. 🤘😁🤘

I just backed RadarIQ Sensor on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/radar…

The multi-function LED on @Yuri_3_Rover's embedded Redboard+ blinking out the wlan IP address and indicating battery voltage is really useful when you're running on battery and switching between usb WiFi dongles. Thanks @NeilRedRobotics for a great product, and your support. 👍

Very happy to receive my @NeilRedRobotics Redrobotics boards, I have multiple robots needing these 🙂, with the new MX2 add on boards they are great for multi wheeled robots where you need individual control like mechnum wheels need.

This is a great addition to redboard functionality and expansion, great timing for those using redboards for Piwars @PiWarsRobotics

First time on his own legs! Legs 🦵🏽 #robotics #microspot #dynamixel #ros #champ #quadruped

My weekend project moving from breadboard testing to a prototype for my low power remote sensors, designing a pcb would really help reduce the wiring on the back of these.

@peterwallhead @Raspberry_Pi @CoreElecAU @lbhq looks like $130 core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-4…

Anyone in #Australia privy to the @Raspberry_Pi 8GB model AUD pricing? @CoreElecAU is currently offline and @lbhq are still updating their store. #rpi4

I can highly recommend this book, and has some good programming techniques and great for ideas in robot building

Am happy another old #ThinkPad is usable with #Linux (only has two gig of ram which means #Windows10 is a no-no for sure). Took 16 minutes to install, it’s great to #reuse old tech 🥳

@Worlds6440 The tyres were fine when using a plastic or 3D printed chassis, but the one I took to Piwars last year did this which had a fair amount of metal in the chassis

@ElliotPittam I'm curious. I have seen 2 identical versions of these tires. One like mine and another that were ridiculously soft. What is the weight of your bot an how much did they flatten by? I can do a quick test on mine and compare

No I am not making small cakes, I am using expanding foam to make the tyres for my robot less swishy under the weight of the heaver chassis, although they did rise like cakes :)
