@piofthings Good luck in getting ready for Piwars

[Elliot Pittam @ElliotPittam]

These robots are impressive https://t.co/QAVpEMLsiK

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

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.

[Elliot Pittam @ElliotPittam]

@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.

[Elliot Pittam @ElliotPittam]

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

[Neil Lambeth @NeilRedRobotics]

In my latest project, I save a load of old laptops from being thrown away by turning them into fancy new computers! @GraveneySchool @RestartProject https://t.co/OakBDJ6xjV via @hackadayio

@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?

I just backed RadarIQ Sensor on @Kickstarter https://t.co/v9LuGlHhNw

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. 👍

[Elliot Pittam @ElliotPittam]

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.

[Elliot Pittam @ElliotPittam]

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

[Neil Lambeth @NeilRedRobotics]

Absolutely loving the RedBoard+ control panel by @approx_eng it makes setting up your motors and servos a breeze! Check it out at https://t.co/BRnNCuflko

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 https://t.co/JUVIWNHrMy

[Elliot Pittam @ElliotPittam]

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

[@BrianLinuxing (everywhere, even on BlueSky!) 🇮🇪 @BrianLinuxing]

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 🥳

[Elliot Pittam @ElliotPittam]

@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

[Elliot Pittam @ElliotPittam]

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 :)
