You may have seen the talented maker and robot builder, Jorvon Moss, on the cover of Make: magazine several years ago. Jorvon makes characterful robotic companions.
In this Tested video, Jorvon joins Adam Savage in Adam’s Cave to talk about his various projects and what motivates him to keep dreaming and building.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
Jorvon is an inspirational figure to anyone wanting to learn robotics. It’s not all fun and games. There’s mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and plenty of code! Jorvon’s robots bring fun and whimsy back to robotics.
