I have a passion for building robots and want to create more of them. But a robot without a frame is just a heap of electronics. For each robot, I need a skeleton to hold the electronics and bring them to life. I need a mechanical framework that fits my needs, but online solutions are either too rigid or overly complicated. That’s why I started my simpleR Framework—a simpler, more adaptable solution for robotics enthusiasts like me! The first attempt looked like a centaur 🙂 The square shape looks better The small prototyping with my existing robot showed that the shape should be square-like And now it looks like this: My plan is to move all…
rEmotion 2 Control Library
Good news! rEmotion 2 is now shipped with the Linux library that can be used to interact with the module from your Raspberry Pi or any other Linux device! The update is available in the repository: Look at the example…
microlog 6: New feature – Log Topics
Hi! I continue developing my logging library. I’m not getting much positive response from the internet, but the developing itself is too fun, so I continue adding new features (and use them in my other projects 🙂) This time I…
rEmotion 2 Firmware Update
Today, I made a port of my old rEmotion 1 Arduino Nano-based firmware to rEmotion 2’s Pico. I used the second core for the stepper motor. You can build it yourself using PlatformIO. The code is crappy, probably has to…
New Release: microlog 5.1.0
Here is a new version of microlog with improved custom callback handling. It is not always simple to redirect printf output on some platforms. For this, in the last release, I’ve added a new ulog_add_callback function. microlog is a C-based…
Manual for Building rEmotion
Just publish a manual for building the rEmotion platform: Try to build your own! Supporting software is in development. Error happened.
rEmotion 2 – For Everybody
I started the second iteration of my robotic module rEmotion. This time it will be more public and accessible. I’m making it for everybody: More updates and instructions soon! Error happened.
Fast Prototyping of Mechatronics
I finally tried Raspberry Pi Pico, and I was shocked. Writing hardware logic in Python is the simplest prototyping method, period. Now, details. To test the MicroPython I came up with a project I saw implemented on Arduino – a…
microlog – I Made another Logging Library in C but with Emojis
I have a lot of small projects, over 100 repos on GitHub. Most of them are simple prototypes, and after some time I started to think about some unification, so I spend less time on typical tasks. These tasks include…
Course: The Complete Guide to Becoming a Software Architect
Interestingly, the field of software architecture is so vast that having processed several seemingly comprehensive sources of knowledge, I found almost no overlap in them. This course feels like a puzzle piece to the Fundamentals of Software Design and Architecture…
