I have made great progress on my RP2350 powered open source brushless motor (and industrial stepper) controller! This board supports up to 53v max, 30+A peak (depends on thermals), and is designed so anyone can order them from JLCPCB. I also just added USB-PD for 100W at 20V via USB-C!

Today, I have been working on a controller for the Giant Unicorn Hat. Have written a function to move the powered fadder to a set position, using a @pimoroni.com motor 2040, running CircuitPython to monitor/control the faders and the NeoTreilis.

pretty cool launch system lmao, still bespoke (and ros) but at least it's actually usable

The biggest driver of robotics innovation over the last couple of years hasn't been anything clever. It's just been people making cheap robots easier to use. And that's a good thing; we have all the tools we need for a robotics revolution, we just need to actually get people out there using robots.

@arturo182.bsky.social was there a parts related reason you stopped selling the blackberry style keyboards/ featherwing? Or would it still be possible to fabricate a batch?

I figured out how to get the bucket actuator attached!!!! I'm super happy to have made this progress on it!
I had some counterbalancing help and I was able to stand in the bucket with nothing breaking! :]

In my last premortem, I imagined user actions that would damage the robot's PCB.
These new 3 cm² should protect it from:
-Flipped batteries
-Wrong AA battery types
The robot keeps working once the mistake is sorted. No blown fuses to change.
(All parts in good supply < $0.30)
