This week I think my framework is ready to be shown. I finalized the main concepts and base parts, and now I want to show everything including the framework’s main features. The most important parts that define the framework are…

simpleR – a Mechanical Robotic Framework
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…
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…
rEmotion – a Module with Visual Input and Output
After several months of experiments, I’ve decided to shape a new project called rEmotion. rEmotion is a hardware module with a robotic application in mind. The module represents a head with a display and a camera, allowing a robot to…
LeOn – a Toy for Cats
Here I’m sharing my results with a project I started last summer. I finished it in the winter but forgot to share the results, so here they are. The project turned out quite simple, but I think it’s pretty solid.…
Sensor Unit with qCAN Support is Merged!
Updated code for the Sensor Unit with qCAN support is merged and documented! Error happened.
New Zakhar Face Module
The new Unit is based on the ESP-Wrover-Kit and uses a TJA1050 module for CANbus communication. It is compatible with the qCAN protocol (described on the Zakhar main page) and can show 5 facial expressions: Anger (0x32), Sadness (0x34), Pleasure…
Hardware structure
Just added illustrations describing the hardware used in the project to the repository: https://github.com/an-dr/zakhar/tree/ec7c4e69af0f5b44aa3dde2fd7766416ac783668 Here are the pictures: And detailed for each device: Error happened.
