Oopsies, it's also fumble Friday!! 🤣

I copied and pasted my post from Mastodon and forgot to change the handle for @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social 🤦

You can find them, and us, on both socials! 😊

It's teacher Tuesday!!

If you're teaching with or learning Raspberry Pi Pico programming using #MicroPython I've just shared five introductory programming activities for BEAPER Pico that you can easily adapt to other circuits!

Check them out: github.com/mirobotech/B...

Anyone who talks about the 'good ol' days' of computers is lying! 🤣

What a bargain! As a teen, I spent $460 dollars of my own hard-earned money to upgrade my Atari 800 from 16kB to 48kB. 😭

This is excellent.

It's freebie Friday!!

And the last Friday of the school year up here! If you're a teacher who'll be teaching #STEM, electronics, or computer technology next year, check out our free electronics resources: mirobo.tech/electronics

Thanks for all you do and have a well-deserved rest this summer! 😊

Yup, it’s good to work towards getting beginners using them, but first they come across so many examples on the internet using the basic declarations. 👍

You're right. The doc is meant to be a quick reference for beginner students, and helps to explain and summarize the Arduino variable types here: docs.arduino.cc/language-ref...

If it's useful for you, and important to specify the stdint.h types, it's easy to copy and edit it to include them! 😊

Are you teaching #electronics, computer technology, or #robotics? Would you like an ARPS-2, BEAPER Nano, or BEAPER Pico bare PCB for free?!?

DM me, or use the contact form at mirobo.tech – Sorry, I'll only mail them to schools in Canada or the USA.

The features of BEAPER Bot I'm most proud of are the parts I left out – traditional fasteners! Every part of the robot snaps, slides, or clips together. 👀

And it's bi-directional. And, you can modify all of its parts on #Tinkercad (search for BEAPER). 😊

Front-left view of a BEAPER Nano robot assembled into a white 3D-printed robot chassis. A white drive wheel is visible at the back, and a stainless steel roller ball assembly is visible underneath the front. An SG90 servo is attached to the front corner in a snap-in mount, and an oval window (front, middle of the robot) allows the robot to determine the distance to an object using an optical time-of-flight (ToF) module.

Cleaning my workspace and exposing my many mistakes to the harsh light of day! 😂

These are all of my prototype BEAPER Bot robot chassis iterations... I'm happy with the final results!

Design files are on #Tinkercad, print files are on #Makerworld: makerworld.com/en/collectio...

I'm also a big fan of break-away pcb parts! 😆

Can you guess why the BEAPER kit discount codes contain the word "hamfest"?

Yep, I demonstrated both robots 🤖 at a local hamfest this past weekend! ⚡️

Act soon, this special offer brings the kit down to 🇨🇦 $48 (regularly $58) and expires on June 9! 💨

Front-right view of a red 3D-printed BEAPER Bot robot controlled by a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 microcontroller mounted in a blue BEAPER Pico printed circuit board. The LCD display mounted behind the Raspberry Pi Pico is displaying a radar-like display showing the distance to an object sensed by a time-of-flight (ToF) module mounted in the oval window at the front, and the reflectivity of the floor sensed by the left and right optical floor sensor modules attached by rainbow-coloured extension cables.

We don't care if you love #Arduino or #RaspberryPiPico, #C, or #MicroPython – we just want to show you some love by giving you $10 off a BEAPER Nano or BEAPER Pico electronic parts kit using code NANOHAMFEST or PICOHAMFEST when you order from here: mirobo.tech/beaper

BEAPER Pico says Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Trump threatens to eviscerate NASA The Presidential budget proposal is a death sentence for the space agency

I am furiously, flamingly, incandescently, *supernova-levels* of angry right now.

Trump is trying to kill NASA science. And hoo boy, do I have something to say about it.
