AeroBot

Starbie

Aerobot is a personal desk buddy. It can be any shape, the goal is to be creative. I t has a motion sensor which allows aerobot to know if tis being moved around. shake it and its face moves!

What it is

It sits on your desk as a companion. You can assign different functions with the buttons and you can play with it if you're bored.

It is inspired by the starbie, here is the repository: https://github.com/SharKingStudios/Starbie/blob/main/README.md?plain=1 it is equiped with a guide which i followed.

The board includes an oled display, microcontroller and motion sensor

The firmware is in the main.cpp file

The aerobot has 21 expressions: Mood button cycle (starts in AUTO at boot, never returns to it): // Tap 1 Happy Tap 2 Wink Tap 3 Love // Tap 4 Sleepy Tap 5 Cry Tap 6 Distressed // Tap 7 Glare Tap 8 Mad Tap 9 Glasses // Tap 10 Sleep Tap 11 Blink upper Tap 12 Tired // Tap 13 Night Tap 14 Upper lids Tap 15 Lower lids // Tap 16 Blank Tap 17 "HELLO" Tap 18 "BYE" // Tap 19 "What?" Tap 20 Scuba Cat (sways side to side) // Tap 21 = back to Happy ... and so on forever

It also signals water me when it senses dry soil The 3rd button turns the screen off The 4th button recaliberates the mpu6050

The aerobot is now comple. Please access the BOM.md for a proper breakdown of the necessary components. The journal for help with any struggles, as i may have struggled with the same thing. The KiCad folder has all the schematics, and pcb render. As well as gerber file which has to be zipped if you want to order the pcb I made form JLC PCB. The main.cpp is the program to be installed in the ESP32 C3. it is built for an oled with the sh1106 driver. If you have a different OLED, just change the libraries and it should work.

There's also the backup firmware which is just a copy of main.cpp in case the file gets missing.
