Hey! You may have seen my #electronics videos on Hackster.io - or various #robots, including my shoulder owl Archimedes & other #CompanionBots; my Ouija #ESP8266 planchette PCB; or the Companion Core...

Or seen me in Make:, Hackaday, HackSpace mag, the Adafruit blog, TWiT, Recomendo, etc.

As I make new project threads, I'll link them below :D

For now, you can find more here: https://bit.ly/ayglow

Toot

I should kick off this thread with Archimedes, the #owl #CompanionBot in the first pic! Made him for #BayArea #MakerFaire in May '18, with a #RaspberryPi brain, then updated in '21 with an #Arduino for motor control.

I've been working on smaller versions since then – including Nano'Medes here, with #origami wings – and plugging away at the new "Prince Stolas" version. Both use my Companion Core PCB (more on that soon!) 🦉🤖💙✨

@alexglow I hope he gets his name from Disney’s Sword in the Stone. I loved that movie so much.

@alexb It came from E.B. White's The Once and Future King (which SitS was based on), so pretty much! :3
