@phethers Need an option with an included motor for out of the box testing

[Chris Dunn @KE6MTO]

@ROBOTISAmerica Looks like the repo is private

@EstesRockets Looking forward to it

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting sixth flight test of Starship!

[Chris Dunn @KE6MTO]

@ZodiusInfuser I really like my Logitech MX full keyboard and mouse. Doesn't check all you boxes but solid hardware plus you can pair with up to 3 devices

[Chris Dunn @KE6MTO]

@RosmoRobot What robotics platform is that built on?

[Chris Dunn @KE6MTO]

@tomfleet @tomfleet can you post a photo of the bottom of the LIDAR unit? Want to see how it compares to the 2 I got here. Mine are labeled as LD06M. Connecting GND and 5v to the pads on the bottom the head started to spin.

[Chris Dunn @KE6MTO]

@tomfleet Got mine in today from the US seller. Seems to have a 6 pin connector but pads on the bottom that indicate the 4 pins I'm question.

[Chris Dunn @KE6MTO]

@tomfleet Been trying to track this tread and like others, here in the US the shipping makes it unreasonable. I did find this: Innomaker LiDAR LD06, seems to me the same base unit? https://t.co/NckKtWMk4k

[Chris Dunn @KE6MTO]

@tomwarren $139 for 35/35 WISP connection in the US

Pimoroni Yukon Review: Yukon Build Your Dream Robot https://t.co/1JgWwpSudf

[Chris Parrott @ZodiusInfuser]

Thanks @biglesp for the glowing review! 🤖 https://t.co/Ulqpj9VTgV

[ODrive Robotics @ODriveRobotics]

The long awaited ODrive Micro is now available on our web shop!

🔬The ODrive micro is the smallest ODrive we've released to date. Perfect for space-constrained and lower-power applications.

@ZodiusInfuser @pimoroni Ok, I will join the discord channel. It's possible it's on the servo hardware side. Here is the errors from the scan servo and Spidertank code. I did only have 1 servo hooked up will doing this testing.

[Chris Dunn @KE6MTO]

@pimoroni @ZodiusInfuser having an issue where any of the example code that uses the lx_servo.py library is generating a "buffer too small" error. New to micropython so not sure if it's a user error or something else.

[Chris Dunn @KE6MTO]

@pimoroni @ZodiusInfuser can you provide the PN for the connector on the Yukon serial servo module?
