Testing new electronic components!
Today I’m experimenting with FlatFlaps by @microbots_io and exploring their movement. The best part? You can adjust the flapping speed using a Microbots DriveCell!
What would you create with these? 🚀

What If Your First Robot Fit in Your Palm?
ProtoBot is a tiny robotics platform built around an ESP32-C6, with four N20 motors, proximity sensing, a 9-axis IMU, RGB lights and a breadboard for adding your own electronics.
You can drive it from your phone, make it avoid obstacles, draw shapes, log sensor data or write your own Arduino code.
The really nice part is that the body, accessories and software are open source. You can 3D print the shell and add things like a thermal camera, air-quality sensor, humidity sensor, camera mount, tank tracks or a grabber.
It feels like a small robotics playground where you can start simple and keep adding hardware.
What would you add to it first?

All-in-1 Tiny Robotic Brain
Tiny game-changer for micro-robotics just dropped: CodeCell C6 Drive.⚡🤖
This 2.25 cm board packs:
- ESP32-C6 (Wi-Fi 6 / BLE / Zigbee)
- Dual H-bridge motor drivers (up to 1.8A)
- IMU, light/proximity sensors, tap/step detection & more
- Built-in LiPo charging + ultra-low power sleep (~40 µA)
- Arduino compatible + wireless app control via MicroLink
No more external drivers eating space… just plug motors straight in and prototype palm-sized rovers in minutes. Super clean builds!
Thanks for sharing, @bugejacarl!

Can’t believe it’s already been a year since CodeCell launched! 🙌 Huge thanks for all the support! I’ve taken everything I learned from v1, pushed it further with smaller 0201 parts + a bit of engineering magic.. and now, 2 new CodeCells are on the way next month. Stay tuned!
