Not gonna lie, I'm loving the Clustered-pi Zero build. Look at it! (just printing out more of the Cushions at the moment). Ordered some 90 degree micro USB connectors so the wires don't stick out the sides. https://t.co/AWk6oemZWP #raspberrypi #raspberrypizero2 @Raspberry_Pi

Visual blocks or MicroPython? With the latest Snakie update, you don't have to choose. Switch seamlessly between both using the same .py files you've already written!

Tonight's the deadline. Super Early Bird pricing on Quaddle open source mini robot dog ends at midnight PT — $99, 34% off the $149 MSRP. Last chance at this price, ever.

Already backed? Share this — help us hit the $200K stretch goal.

@RyanEls4 Is it Java because that’s just a bag of old rusty nails?

They All Gave Up on ROS and MicroPython — I Didn't https://t.co/LKGX5xaDjf

Going live in 10 minutes! Come and join me as we delve into #ROS on #MicroPython and mailbox stuff too.

I've made it really easy to compile your #MicroPython into the .mpy format; just right click.

I've been working on improving the #MicroPython (and #CircuitPython) Firmware flasher in Snakie; now lets you pick the board from a catalog of nearly 240 boards.

@ShaikhRobotics @arduino The ROS stack has many layers and services, so it’s more about lazy loading just what is needed. I also use MPY, which is precompiled bytecode, which results in smaller and quicker to load code.

[Kevin McAleer 🤖 Robot Maker @kevsmac]

Working on a #ROS (ROS2) library for #MicroPython (in pure micropython so it works on any board), this should help bridge the gap between robots running MicroPython and boards running full ROS2 like the new @arduino Ventuno Q.

@jcarolinares @kyrioslearn @arduino @Qualcomm Love your modulino hat

[Kevin McAleer 🤖 Robot Maker @kevsmac]

Can you believe there isn't an open source library for writing Microsoft Project files? There is the excellent MPXJ for reading Project (and many other file formats).

I need this for my https://t.co/fBiGSfU1xp app.

So me and Claude Fable 5.1 have been filling that gap.

@TracketPacer truly diabolical

I just backed Petoi Quaddle: A Do-It-All Mini Robot Dog for Physical AI on @Kickstarter https://t.co/fcT4WmGymE

[Kevin McAleer 🤖 Robot Maker @kevsmac]

@OpenRoboticsOrg @arduino Yes yes! Just testing and shrinking the code footprint so it works on smaller memory boards.

[Kevin McAleer 🤖 Robot Maker @kevsmac]

@FunkyPiwy @pimoroni @rpimagazine Nice work!

[GurgleApps @GurgleApps]

Holidays are over and its back to work but this time in a very different capacity. Planning on moving the business forward. More products to be launched soon. https://t.co/N7VFkOiJFO #electronics @Raspberry_Pi @RaspberryPi_org
