RobGPT a Raspberry Pi Companion Bot #piday #raspberrypi
Ever get an idea you can’t put down? Reddit user u/MrRandom93 posted this impressive companion bot dubbed the child of mania and chatGPT. This is just v1 but it sounds like they have a lot planned out.
V1.0 – Current: Rpi 4
Rpi Camera
Monochrome OLED display(SH1106 driver, adafruits
standard library wont work, have to use luma.oled instead.)
L298N Motor driver
Some generic motor and prototype frame kit
Loosing sanity getting everything to work
Powerbank for RPi
Rechargeable NiMH for motor and servo
SG90 servo
V1.5 – Plans:
Replace the two separate batteries with one big instead
Program it to find and plug in to the charger by itself
General tweaks and touch ups
Second servo for head left/right
Third servo for lowering and raising charge plugs
