Pia the Robot #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

via Pohukai on thingiverse

After seeing Alonso Martinez’s Mira robot on You-Tube, I had to have one but couldn’t find it anywhere. So, I designed my own version of it and will be uploading STLs and make the software that I’ve written for it available either here or github.

In a nutshell, it is two concentric shells with 3 servos to control x, y and z axis. It runs on a raspberry pi zero w, a pi camera and a PWM board from Adafruit. Internal parts are held in place without screws; just 3D printed blocks and 1/4″, strong magnets.
