RoboticBits

Rapid prototyping, robotics, swarms and tinyML.

My new microphone just arrived.. and it left me wondering why my PC is full of RGB stuff!

While normally always off, the RGBs came on for couple of photos.

@azerimaker and will they be surrounded by 'positivity'? 😀

@seeedstudio Finally an esp32c6 xiao with onboard 3d metal/ceramic antenna? Sweet.

Open source and hobby robotics need more attention and affords to help drive the robotic revolution.

RoboticBits is determined improve the world of open source and hobby robotics in 2024. Lots of new concepts and robots are coming.

In 1971, Steve Wozniak built his first computer as a hobby project. He later designed @apple's first computer.

Without homebrew and hobby computers, there would be no @apple or @microsoft.

In 2024, we are in a similar stage for robotics.

@JeremySCook @Raspberry_Pi @pimoroni Thanks, those are 3v 100rpm 6mm gear motors.

[RoboticBits @roboticbits]

Introducing Dot.. a stamp size @Raspberry_Pi #RP2040 robot.. the smallest in the world! Makes a proper use of the @pimoroni #Tiny2040!

@AJLenze1 @Raspberry_Pi @pimoroni yes, I used the 100rpm ones.

[RoboticBits @roboticbits]

@AJLenze1 @Raspberry_Pi @pimoroni Those are 6mm geared motors (100rpm), found on aliexpress.

@HermannSW Ah, I see, thanks for sharing :)

[RoboticBits @roboticbits]

@HermannSW Nice, have you tried putting them further away?

[RoboticBits @roboticbits]

@davidcrookes Hi, Sure :)

[nixCraft 🐧 @nixcraft]

Linux is everywhere.

[RoboticBits @roboticbits]

@HermannSW @Raspberry_Pi @pimoroni Nice agile motions, well done!

[RoboticBits @roboticbits]

@HermannSW @Raspberry_Pi @pimoroni Hi, Well done completing your robot! As requested, the Dot is 18x40x17mm (lxwxh) with bead wheels & battery. With slimmer wheels, it'll be 18x28x17mm. Weights 8g. If interested, I can share photo of measurements. Don't forget, your one has wifi! :)

[PCMag @PCMag]

The smallest Raspberry Pi robot yet, and unlikely to be beaten. https://t.co/QwA3RiJydk

[Hackster.io @Hacksterio]

.@roboticbits' Pica and Dot are ultra-tiny, fully-functional, @Raspberry_Pi RP2040-based wheeled robots: https://t.co/IrXbero36f

This Raspberry Pi RP2040 Robot is The Smallest We’ve Ever Seen https://t.co/Gb1GhdLwrx

[RoboticBits @roboticbits]

@HermannSW @Raspberry_Pi @pimoroni Cool.. Is it bettter to solder the ESP01 to Tin2040 to keep the size compact? I have some ESP boards, zigbee/ble too, might go for zigbee for the small footprint.

[RoboticBits @roboticbits]

@HermannSW @Raspberry_Pi @pimoroni Well done! That's good amount of details in the forum, will surely be useful for others to follow.

[RoboticBits @roboticbits]

@biglesp @Raspberry_Pi @pimoroni @tomshardware No problem, here's the photo of both sides.

[RoboticBits @roboticbits]

Can anyone spot a @Raspberry_Pi robot? Clue: it's the world's smallest one! @pimoroni
