Devlog 2-2: Controller and Antenna
First Lookout was bugging so I had to stop at 50 min.
But this time i basically was trying to finish the controller and adding the antenna, grips, fillets, etc..
I still wanna add some hollow knight details to make it more exciting!
The antenna is made to slid onto the little bump on the top of the controller body so it can be printed separately

Devlog 1-2: Controller and Headache
Basically today I had my school presentation/reunion so with my very normal sleep schedule I had to go to school without sleeping so during the day I had a horrible headache so i couldnt do much today.
But besides that I basically start to build the raw shape of the controller. It will have 6 joysticks that each control a different servo and will communicate to the Arm using ESP-NOW.

This Devlog was just me basically assuring everything was correct and making a piece to slide on my desk to lock the arm.
Besides that I just need to make the repository and thats the end.

Devlog 3: Confusion
Basically this hour was just me figuring out ways to route the cables in order for them not to tangle.
So now im trying to mkake a design similar to a construction crane where it is mostly hollow so i have space to pass the clabes through the middle.
its still kinda ugly ngl but i still have time

Devlog 1: Arm
Basically instead of being normal and finishing my WebOS, I decided to Start yet another Hardware project because they are funnier!
Basically I wanna build some sort of Claw Arm with Servo Motor cuz on paper it looks cool!
So i spent some time doing some sketches and CADing the general parts of the arm.
I wanna also try using an ESP32 and the ESP NOW protocol to control with an ESP based controller!
But for now i still need to finish and polish the CAD model
