...and speaking of #robots, here's the latest progress on the manipulator I've designed from scratch and am releasing under the MIT license.

TL;DR: It works, and I can control motors via GCode from within #moveIt2, but it needs refinement.

Day 2 of sorting out the workbench and the variable power supply and soldering iron are installed.

Need to mount the spare wires properly tomorrow, but slowly moving towards a point where I can actually build #robots!

Cleaned up the workbench, let's see how long it lasts... 😅

Thanks, #ChatGPT and #Brave for using a ridiculous amount of RAM for a single tab - are you processing the LLM request in the browser itself?!

Hey everyone!

Somehow missed bsky as part of the great tw*tter migration!

More than happy to talk about the following subjects:

* Robotics (I'm learning ROS2 at the moment)
* Grafana (I work there)
* AuDHD (Diagnosed a few months ago aged 43!)
* Music
* Hackspaces
* Trains
* Anything else geeky!
