Replaced the 9-volt battery with a pack that holds 8 AA batteries. Now Roberto is wireless! Then, I did some final troubleshooting. Fixed the code so that Robtero stopped for long enough for me to turn him off, and changed how long he spins in each direction before switching. Also replaced a bad motor that wasn’t working under load. He now words perfectly! I’ve decided to let Robterto go case-free because it won’t fit on the body or the wiring. Robtero is more of a free spirit anyway.🐴 I secured the components with tape so nothing flies off.

I got around the broken mircontroller by changing the cable and some code. Then I tried to solder it to fix the orginal issue(the board doesn’t stay connected constantly). Long story short, now the board doesn’t even turn on. I think I cooked it when I was soldering.

Tried to fix soldering issue that came up while I was writing the firmware. Ended up breaking the mirco controller in the process. But the code hypothetically works. New parts are on the way :(

Fully built and coded Mk 1 of Roberto Rotate-o. It was a long night

Assembled and soldered SIMOND. Also redid part of the case in Onshape

Writing some goofy code in c++. having a hard time getting it to run so I can debug
