00:00:00 Stream Starts Hello everyone, happy Wednesday! It’s been a few days since Scotty last streamed, he’s been busy. He had his 2nd Vaccine shot yesterday! Scotty has 4 or 5 different projects in the works but it’s taking a while and taking getting used to, not being in Shenzhen, not being able to meet […]

I figured out how to use Websockets and Cors to get Spare Parts to respond to clicking buttons on a Twitch overlay! There was still plenty of things to do but this felt like a huge achievement for Spare Parts’ channel. This was streamed on Twitch on Jan 6, 2021. Special thanks to Greg Needel […]

Wow, you guys really stepped up and brought some AMAZING robot names to the table but what DID we end up naming it? I figured out, for the most part, how to make the robot do a thing and setup a new Twitch overlay. It was a little makeshift at the time but it was […]

OK, this should be the one where I fix this thing, right? So we have a couple of keys that don’t work and a bit of an LED Party Mode going on. Come find out what’s wrong and watch as we get this Corne Chocolate split keyboard finally working! This was streamed on Twitch on […]

It seems like this keyboard has a million little LEDs! No matter, in this chill stream I got them all soldered on and after replacing a LED or two, all of them seem to light up! This was streamed on Twitch on Dec 28, 2020. Special thanks to Jesse Vincent of Keyboardio for loaning the […]

You can now tilt the camera and use text-to-speech on the robot but streaming the robot’s view is a little hit and miss for now. And chat is figuring out how to use my Alexa speaker via the robot. Join me in this Christmas Eve adventure where a lot of the Robot’s core functionality was […]

Chat successfully drove the robot for the first time! They managed to form a democracy and didn’t destroy anything of value! That doesn’t mean that y’all aren’t a handful and don’t need babysitting though… This was streamed on Twitch on Dec 21, 2020. Special thanks to Greg Needel of REV Robotics and @Esden for the […]

Now that the robot has wheels and motors, it’s time to figure out where the brains and control components go. Chat helped me brainstorm names for the robot and and I worked on placing various power components. This was streamed on Twitch on Dec 19, 2020. Special thanks to Greg Needel of REV Robotics and […]
