Made an interactive exhibit with multiple Robot Butterflies. Plus a projector and Kinect! Linked robots up to a MQTT server running on a Pi with a lil router. Bowie's power pack was recycled into that project. Here's a walkthrough to prove it happened in real reality! www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7lI...

What do sea urchins have to do with the kelp forest? Ask Sabrina Grant! By collecting data on the behaviors of red and purple urchins, she helps the Aquarium better understand how we can restore our ocean’s ecosystems 🌊 🤿 🐟 . Find out more about our research at: mbayaq.co/3UKg5fd

This is the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, imaged on 21 July by the Hubble Space Telescope.
It continues to blow my mind that this comet is from a different planetary system, and is likely more than seven billion years old.

Enjoying this cool map on @oshwassociation.bsky.social! Looks like there's a race between 3 countries to get to the 100 mark soon — 🇨🇦 needs to step up! 😃 🏅 🏆

Let's explore some Winterberry Holly ☺️
In early autumn Robot Butterfly enjoyed hanging out near the winterberry holly! The vibrant red absolutely blazing against the brown hues.

Here's the first gotcha with Robot Butterfly firmware integration
The tone when a button is pressed interfered with the servo timer
There were lots of layers to debug - the state machine entrance timer, servo animation code, button isr's, and then finally, it was the BEEP
Fixed it
