Island Robotics

I made up my mind and I don't think I will be posting anything here for a while (but will keep this account to read what others post). I will post my (infrequent) updates at @shurik179" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@shurik179 so if for some strange reason you care, head over there

@anne_engineer Thanks!

Alexander Kirillov's Yozh is an expandable, compact, open source robot for education and more hackster.io/news/alexander…

@JeremySCook Haven't tried it yet, and don't think I have time and energy to try more new social networks. If mastodon fizzles out, I can leave without any network for my DIY stuff

@IslandRobotics How about bsky instead?

@Ascii211 so what ICs do they use? STM32?

I bought the AHRS unit out of a Shahed. Exploitation for firmware soon, along with writing a post on the process.

@RussianEmbassy @mfa_russia @BBCWorld @SkyNews @ftworldnews @guardianworld @TelegraphWorld @LBCNews @spectator @StatesmanWorld @standardnews И вы всерьез цитируете клоуна, который считает, что США должны выплатить России компенсации за уничтожение Мариуполя и Бахмута? Вам не смешно?

🇷🇺Security Council Deputy Chair Dmitry #Medvedev: In the West, there is no one to talk to about security guarantees. They do not seek peace, they want war. They do not seek cooperation, they want confrontation.

or is it because of crossing international date line?

is it a tracking software bug, or did my package really travel from Japan to Alaska and back?

@Ascii211 so - do you trust this claim!?

LETS GO FIRST COMBAT INTERCEPT OF A "HYPERSONIC" (it's literally just go fast sideways havarti)

@drfootleg based on Pololu Zumo wheels and tracks?

@drfootleg Look at that:

@drfootleg One of the reasons I never buy Li batteries on AliExpress or Amazon. You can see some really silly claims there, like "10 000 mAh 18650 battery". I switched to specialized sites like 8650batterystore.com. I still use AliExpress for lots of parts, but not batteries

@RoboFoundry @ZodiusInfuser @orionrobots Adafruit uses e-fuse in their Crickit robotics boards

@ZodiusInfuser @orionrobots I have heard of e-fuse but haven't done any research but I'm assuming those would be great smaller size and current.

Added in some power switches to the Lidar #robot, for controlling overall power (P), motor power (M), and Lidar on/off (L)

@kraken_pinion Wow. See you in Houston!

@tomfleet @fast_code_r_us well, it would be reasonable for 20 boards to cost less per board than 10. But total cost for 20 less than total cost for 10???

@fast_code_r_us Raw PCB? That's not illogical, just spreading the setup costs across unit qty, right?

OK, I am ready to laser cut the "aperiodic monotile". (If anyone needs the SVG file, I am happy to share it too)

@oakdevtech @NickRuffilo I use PirateShip and am also quite happy with it.

It's costly, but, I will defend that: 1) Shipping costs through etsy are significantly lower than buying directly from USPS. (some savings there) 2) They have an audience. 3) They make tax collection and everything else easy. It's a viable option still...
