Starting the process of converting the cardboard mech torso panels into 26 gauge steel. Strong, magnetic, shiny!

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

Umpteenth overhaul of the mech leg circuits

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

Making cardboard templates for the torso. Its much cheaper experimenting with cardboard before committing to steel

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

Mech cockpit hatch is ready for paneling!

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

The mech arm motors are mapped to a standard USB joystick.

Eye screen upgrade for the robit. Such fps, much wow.

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

Screens are running in the mech cockpit!

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

SPUD's paper face was nice, but very fragile.

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

With over 3000lbs of torque, this is quite a mech transport platform!
You can see I built it before I started the mech's retrofit :D

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

Yes the robowaifu can run doom, just not the one you're thinking of!

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

Before the retrofit the mech DID function, but it was quite a mess. Now its gonna be easier, safer and better!

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

As you can see, the SPI screens for the robowaifu are very slow.

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

Not only has the skeletonics patent expired in like 2023, but I created my own version that is much simpler and cheaper.
Anyone interested in a "how to" video?

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

Experimenting with the ILI9341 lcd chipset. Unfortunately it is old and not updated so it can't be used for something as real-time as robowaifu eyes (maybe 4FPS for 2 screens at best)

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

The torso armor juts out a bit too much so I'm rebuilding the mech's chest to be more streamlike and stable... out of steel tubing.

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

Cleaning up the robowaifu's hair to look less derpy:

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

A quick peek inside the mech cockpit. Without a video signal everything is very blue (da bee dee)

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

Trying out a bit more of a gundam-shape for the mech... including a plushie head for the lulz

[Mechnomancer @NyeMech]

There has been a lack of robowaifu posting... don't worry tho there are reasons for that!
