This might not seem like much... but Thank you for the Merch. I just got it the other day. keep on keeping on with what you are doing.
Hi Tom - it seems like a lot to me, it means you're part of my team now! Thank you for being a supporter and for the encouragement, it means the world to me!
Made one! I used a Max7219 LED display, Arduino Nano, added a servo, 2 pronged rgb led and a buzzer.
Post a picture and tag me!
Hey really cute project! How about adding a servo to move to nod the head from legs 30 percent. I may do this with a cardboard box with a servo cause it is really a great starter project and our 8X8 LED displays take up more space. Learned that when I made OttoDIY robots. Will be making one!!
Just made my first Mqtt robot with an ultrasound obstacle avoidance. I need a little help with a raspberry pi Pico display 2. I would like to put eyes on it, like an animated gif for each emotion but can't find alot out there. Easy enough to put writing or a JPEG image but I like the idea of an animation.
Q Exactly which 8x8 matrix are you using? Please post a link. Could do more if you used an 8x8 rgb matrix.
Q Where is the link to your Python Icon Maker app?
His Chris - the link to the code is in the video description
please get an overhead camera your making me ill waving out of focus boards around.
How to use 8x8 LED Displays with MicroPython? Get a C or an assembly language programmer to write some real code for you (eg, a library), then let your SLOW interrupter update a mirrored memory field. Realtime fast programming is NOT done in Python, micro or otherwise. Just sayin'.
That’s a bit overkill for updating a small display. It’s not like its a 4k display that requires 120fps. Real world programmers use appropriate effort to achieve results, otherwise they end up the most over engineered product in the graveyard
That, or they just use a library (the internals of which they do not and will never understand) to do their bidding. Think of FASTLED for the Arduino community. The majority of users don't NEED the speed and performance of the code that was written for them, but the average Arduino coder could never write that library.
Realtime interrupt-driven hardware drivers are harder to code and debug then the kinds of things Python was invented for. I say this as FACT because it is what I have been doing in C/Assembly for the last 50 years. I am NOT saying this to dicourage anyone from joining that club, it is fun, please do come on in.
I'm just saying writing hardware drivers in Python is the wrong tool for the wrong job, while talking to hardware through well-crafted library of modules written in C/Assembly always works better AND it would be nice to see some UA-camr's tackling the harder problem of Python Library construction rather always do the trivial presentation of a slow and tiny example of easy code. Again, just sayin'

@@greg4367 I can't wait to see your videos of this, let me know when you've uploaded it and I'll give it a watch.
That is a great answer. If this is a game, you win. What skills I have are limited to coding and cooking. I don't have a clue how to make a UA-cam presentation and i surly lack the personality for it too. Still... A deeper dive would be educational for some.
Looking forward to your next one.
