First day of the #PiWars Conference 2021 has been excellent. Big shout out to the gang of four @rwhb2 @recantha @Geeky_Tim and not forgetting @Worlds6440 for arranging. Great talks from the speakers, thank you all for taking the time putting them together.
Such a great use of old hardware Neil, so many places would have just thrown these away. I like the case and way you can store the keyboard inside when not in use. @NeilRedRobotics
In my latest project, I save a load of old laptops from being thrown away by turning them into fancy new computers! @GraveneySchool @RestartProject hackaday.io/project/176450-t… via @hackadayio

The multi-function LED on @Yuri_3_Rover's embedded Redboard+ blinking out the wlan IP address and indicating battery voltage is really useful when you're running on battery and switching between usb WiFi dongles.
Thanks @NeilRedRobotics for a great product, and your support. 👍
Very happy to receive my @NeilRedRobotics Redrobotics boards, I have multiple robots needing these 🙂, with the new MX2 add on boards they are great for multi wheeled robots where you need individual control like mechnum wheels need.
This is a great addition to redboard functionality and expansion, great timing for those using redboards for Piwars @PiWarsRobotics
Absolutely loving the RedBoard+ control panel by @approx_eng it makes setting up your motors and servos a breeze! Check it out at github.com/ApproxEng/RedBoar…
My weekend project moving from breadboard testing to a prototype for my low power remote sensors, designing a pcb would really help reduce the wiring on the back of these.
I can highly recommend this book, and has some good programming techniques and great for ideas in robot building

Am happy another old #ThinkPad is usable with #Linux (only has two gig of ram which means #Windows10 is a no-no for sure).
Took 16 minutes to install, it’s great to #reuse old tech 🥳
No I am not making small cakes, I am using expanding foam to make the tyres for my robot less swishy under the weight of the heaver chassis, although they did rise like cakes :)
Spent my sunday designing and building a heavy duty robot chassis, much stronger than I normally build, once I fit the electronics it will be ready for some rough outdoor testing.

We need this in our office!! @ICAHackspace 😆
Nice work Neil
200 more masks made today, I'm aiming to make at least 500 a week. A few people have asked about donations for materials - I'm part of a much larger group who have set up a gofundme. Thanks!

The only good thing about having been away for a while, is coming back to see all those impulse buys. I guess I better get started on my fleet of mini esp32 powered robots controlled from a PI4
After 23 days in the same room of a hospital, where I kept testing positive for COVID-19 I have been released, and so happy to be clear of the virus. #COVIDー19 #COVID19au
