My latest creation: The Valiant Turtle 2. You can see it in action on YouTube youtu.be/n7QADCfdDfI

Now that all the calibration code is written the Valiant Turtle 2 can actually start drawing things. This is the first time I’ve run it with a real pen 😎

I can’t think of anything more Swinglish than Marmite on Swedish tunnknäcke bröd 🤟

Just won a local auction for this Fisher-Price toy... My plan is to use some Python and a 3D printer to make it play some Taylor Swift. I don't need a good reason for any of this :)

It's been a while since I made any public mention of my on-going project to make a new version of the 1980's Valiant Turtle, so here's a picture of the current state of development of the Valiant Turtle 2. #retrocomputing #robotics
