Hey stardance family
I think I realized a little too late that Pebble is a full fledged project that will DEFINITELY not be completed within the deadline for stardance, so I’m debating whether or not to keep it private or put it on forge or another ysws.
I had to find another battery and charger to drive the servos,so hopefully I’ll be able to prototype soon! I’m still mocking up a simulator. IF anyone has recs for sims, lmk!
SUP KIDS I highkey didn’t do much today and not sure if I’ve lost my sticky streak or not sadge
I did a little work on pebble, made hit connection so they aren’t just floating in space, added lower legs, but I still can’t decide on an ankle mechanism, especially because it’s a passive ankle… Any ideas welcome!
Come to think of it, pebble seems like a crab… wide ahh
Hi kids :)
Messed around with some hardware recently, and tested out the resistance of the servos. The #8-32 bolts fit in the servo holes, and hold it pretty well!
Big issue though… I DONT HAVE NUTS FOR THE BOLTS qoq
So, I guess I need to steal some nuts from robotics. oh well c’: more fun things on the way!
Please ignore the image quality LMAO it was a screenshot of the lapse… and also the actual camera kinda sucks as well
Hey stardance children yet again :)
Been hard at work on my website! I slapped a parallax effect and revised the star component so I could adjust the width/thickness of them (I like the skinnier ones sm better)
I also added a dynamic background to the home page, and am still debating adding it to other pages as well, to make the whole site more coherent and linked together. It’s super cool, and although I did use some AI to help me understand the structure of the code I found, I eventually made sense of it enough to create my own paths and lines within the site!
Going pretty well, but I have to sink more time into pebble :)
Sup guys! Today, I started the first step in revamping my website - came up with a new theme! However, the stars still seem too fat and I need some form of accent color/shade of grey. lmk! I’m trying to figure out paths for the svg and how they work but it’s hard :( I really like this home page so far so I hope that I can finish it up soon!
Hello starkids
This is just a project to repesent my website, since im doing a FULL revamp of the theme and other things. dm me some ideas! I like minimalist/brutalist, while also having like liquid metal or glass etc. hope to do some work soon!
This is a peek at the current website that im not a huge fan of
Hello stardance children :)
I did a lot today! Got to figure things out for the hips and basic legs of Pebble. I gotta admit, it looks super cool. BUT, the challenge is, whether it will actually be sturdy or just crack as soon as I move the motors :( Speaking of which, I do still have to figure out the motor driver and learn how to balance this boy. Anyways, thanks for reading :)
Wsg gang ! Today, I worked on a basic sketch of pebble, kind of seeing how it would work. Also, some components came in today, so I’m gonna try to figure it out. Pretty proud of this mockup, so I hope to follow it closely :) If anyone has ideas on what to do with the head/face, lmk! I need ideas cuz I don’t want to directly copy NVIDIA’s Blue…
Today, I came up with a BOM and started putting together a parts list! I also realized I never updated my description… oops! Changed the project around just now to what the project actually is.
I also started a basic sketch of what I want pebble to look like, inspired by NVIDIA’s Blue at GTC 2025. I hope to order things tonight, and hopefully they arrive soon!
