today we’re launching eyecandy robotics! we’re bringing animated characters to life through robotics and ai.

Heading to FOSS United! This weekend. Lets meet and find a few crazy ideas to work on

Ever wondered how hardware code is tested on every PR? We were manually testing across boards, architectures, flashing tools & test criteria. So I built a board farm that tests every PR on real hardware. FPGAs, dev boards & MCUs → one CI pipeline. Now I can work remotely 😁

Been working on a bunch of things lately 👀 One of them is my GSoC project bringing LiDAR perception from CARLA into an Automotive Grade Linux stack. Self driving stacks are driving me insane There is a lot to share! I wanna talk to people who have stared into this hell😓

my contribution to this board was one sentence. GPT-6 Astra chose the parts, drew the schematic and routed it , a 3-phase FOC driver for the axial-flux motor I posted last week. two layers, 12V, three-shunt current sensing. the one thing I specified was where the encoder sits, because that's set by the motor shaft, and there's nothing in a netlist that implies a shaft. it isn't fabbed yet so I don't know if it works. but the thing I keep turning over isn't whether it works. it's that designing it took an evening, and the board takes at least a week or two to fabricate. for as long as hardware has existed, design was the slow step. it isn't anymore , the bottleneck is physical now. fab queues, shipping, and finding out you were wrong a fortnight later. I don't think the next real unlock in hardware is a better model. I think it's turnaround time.

no wires, no iron core, just copper spirals etched into PCB 4000rpm on the first proper run @BugejaCarl showed me its possible but mine runs on 3 phases and hope 🫡

And THAT WAS A WRAP!

Look who just saw the world for the first time. It's so excited to be here!

Look at these beauties

We replicated bdx from walt disney mostly to learn about small details of physical character design. Some of our work will and is already contributed back to opensource. Would like to thank jaime and mimir for base electronics and mech design of bdx.

welcome to eyecandy character universe (ECU)

this had a hundred ways to go wrong. one wrong line, one bad joint, one shaky move and it's dead. made it anyway. shaped it like the batman logo. plugged it in expecting nothing… and it lit up🦇⚡

cooking up a board that slaps

Me and my friends are on our way to re-define the jain dating landscape with Jainge!!!!!!!!!
