Any microcontroller that can present itself to the operating system as a USB Human Interface Device (HID) will work fine for a project like this.
#ADAFRUIT TRINKET M0 1 WIRE PROFESSIONAL#
With a saw and a drill press you can make some very professional cases out of acrylic, which goes to show that you don’t necessarily need to have a high end 3D printer to create great looking enclosures.Īs explained in the video, the Adafruit Trinket is not strictly necessary for this build, it’s just what had lying around. But using the acrylic is easy and gives a nice glossy look to the final hardware. uses 1/4 inch acrylic to make the case, though he does mention that it could just as easily be 3D printed. This time around, he takes a bunch of spare arcade-style buttons he had from a previous project and combines them with an Adafruit Trinket (SAMD21 flavor) to make a USB input device for his computer. Prolific maker has taken the wraps off of his latest one-day build, and as usual, it takes the kind of spare parts most people reading Hackaday will have in their parts bins and turns it into something fun and useful. If they all become independently mobile, we’ll need clarification when discussing the average velocity of an unladen folklore robot companion: African or European folklore?Ĭontinue reading “Printed Perching Pals Proliferate” → Posted in Arduino Hacks, Robots Hacks Tagged 3d printed, Adafruit trinket, arduino, arduino nano, LED array, servo, sg90, shoulder It’s always great to see open source projects inspire even more projects, and watch them as they all evolve in skill and capability. Mechanical articulation for legs would allow more dynamic behaviors while perched, but if the motors are powerful enough, Asi can walk on a surface when not perched. (Video after the break.) Adding sound localization components will let Asi face whoever’s speaking nearby. Like every project ever undertaken, there is no shortage of ideas for Asi’s future and listed some of them in an interview with. Accompanying him to various events like Sparklecon 2019, Asi is always a crowd pleaser wherever they go. loved the idea of a robot companion perched on his shoulder but decided to draw from a different pool of cultural folklore for Asi. According to at Superconference 2018, she knew of several who have done so, some with their own individual customization. Anyone who desire their own are invited to visit Asi’s project page.Īsi was inspired by ’s Archimedes, who also has a project page for anyone to build their own. How might Anansi adapt to the twenty-first century? imagined the form of a cyborg spider, and created Asi the robot companion to perch on his shoulder. Anansi’s adventures through oral tradition have adapted to the situation of people telling those stories, everything ranging from unseasonable weather to living a life in slavery. Anansi in African folktale is a trickster and god of stories, usually taking physical form of a spider.
