Assemble the official version Elegoo Penguin-Bot Arduino Robot KIT Step 3: Assemble The Legs - Part 2

Few of weeks ago I received another Cool Penguin-Bot Arduino Robot KIT from Elegoo donated for the Visuino development :-).

This is the Final Production Version of the Robot. I already posted videos for the Preproduction version, and now here is the first assembly video of the production version.

I already posted:
Unboxing Video 
Step 1:  Assemble The Feet, and Install the Servos controlling them
Step 2: Assemble The Legs - Part 1

Here is the third Assembly Video - Assemble The Legs - Part2

I am preparing the rest of the Assembly videos and will post them in the following days. I have also mapped the Robot's functionality in Visuino, and plan even improved support in the future.
After that I will try to make some Visuino tutorials for the Robot.

Cheers,

At the "Hackaday LA August Meetup" last week

Last week, I finally had a chance to go to the "Hackaday LA August Meetup" meetup at the Supplyframe DesignLab.
Unfortunately the traffic that day was awful, and it took me over 2 and a half hours to arrive :-( .
I missed the first speaker but had chance to be there for the Sarah Beshir's presentation.

Fortunately there are replays of the presentations and we all can watch them:

Sirina Nabhan - Apollo 11 Inspiration and Innovation

Sarah Beshir - The "What", "Why", and "How" of Model Based Systems Engineering

Here are some pictures I took from the event:

Robots and food at the event :-)

...and avdn Visuino :-)

Tim Trzepacz is making "70s style" wearable synthesizers :-)

At the entrance they had "Hackaday Prize Boxes" available for the attendees :-)

Here is what was inside:

I hope I will have chance to go to another event, and will have a better luck with the traffic next time, as these events are always great!

Visuino support for the ESP32 based M5 Stack core - First Test

After few days of digging through code, schematics, and specifications, I finally have the Visuino support for the ESP32 Basic Core , and made the first test project:

Here is the programmed Core:

I also recorded a first look video and you can see it here:

I am working to add support for the rest of the modules, and will be posting the progress so stay tuned.
I also hope to have a new Visuino release later this week if all goes well... It will include the new modules, a lot of fixes, and new features that I added last week.

Cheer,

  Boian
