Robot Face Posts – Hack Club Scrapbook

Today i first time realized how important using robots.txt file is. i had 10,000 api credits for my crypto project from coinmarketcap api but last night google bot started to crawl all of the coin details pages (each page counts as 3 credits ) and i have about 15,000 coins in my db. resulting to my api credits being expired in single night. now im learning how to write a robots.txt file

A remote control for a makerbuying robotic arm. It uses 2 arduino unos communicating via i2c, one for the robotic arm and one for the joysticks, so i can have a cable between them if i want to and i plan on using 2 esp32s to make it wireless in the future. I have never i2c before so i have learnt very much. Sadly i dont got any pictures of the projekt as it not here but here's a picture of the robotic arm.

I spent a couple hours today trying to get all the components to fit on a 2s battery 40 amp modular PSU pcb I'm currently routing. On my small board, just a USB-C connector takes a HUGE amount of space. Its like half the height of the board! I'll try to make it work, but space is sure at a premium, and I don't want to skimp on copper trace thickness either. This board is part of a larger modular control board project called CACKLE, Card Adaptable Controller Kinetic Link Electronics. github.com/techy-robot/CACKLE

did some work on the websocket and working that into the bot :yay: take a look for more at #C07R889PURK| btw (shameless plug) nothing too much to show but checkout a flow chart planner type thing to map out the work I'm doing/did and some UI already done :D

Today I experimented with a feature that I haven't used before in KiCAD: Net class Directives. This helps you section off nets that you are routing and to have pre-defined settings that are different for each group. It should speed up routing with automatic trace widths. I'm currently routing a PCB for my USB-C and 2s battery 40 amp modular PSU. This board is part of a larger modular control board project called CACKLE, Card Adaptable Controller Kinetic Link Electronics. github.com/techy-robot/CACKLE

Added an integration to my discord bot so I can now write typst snippets and share them directly in discord! (Typst is a scripting and markup language to write scientific papers. It can do quite a lot, especially with plugins, allowing you to plot stuff, design flow charts, circuits and more from a markup language!)

Today I did some cleanup of my Kicad schematic and I added some circuitry for the USB-C connector for my modular PSU pcb. Almost ready for layout. This board is part of a larger project called CACKLE, Card Adaptable Controller Kinetic Link Electronics. github.com/techy-robot/CACKLE

Today I reworked my schematic for a modular 40 amp PSU to use a CH32 microcontroller (CH32X035) instead of an STM32. My goal is to save costs and add USB-C Power delivery capability for charging a battery.

After working for a bit on a bot that will inform users about cybersecurity, I decided it was about time that I added a second level to my Slime Game that I made this summer. So I opened Godot and got to work. I first implemented the function that will transport the user to the next level, then, I started working on actually making it!

I worked on a new feature for wakapi-anyide today, to mask autosave files as the original file! Its still WIP. Upstream: github.com/iamawatermelo/wakapi-anyide.

The app is in the PyPI package repository for users to download and try, last version published was from 2 weeks ago though. pypi.org/project/wakapi-anyide

Started working on a slack bot to help me out if I forget to post a scrapbook past a certain time. For some reason, I decided to have the bot get my timezone from slack instead of hardcoding it.

Shipping from my laptop straight to Nest (after this, going to setup systemd service unit file first) before #C07PZMBUNDS| ends (please vote for me to get some :sky-scales:), it's @HackClubLeeks ! It's a Slack app companion for #C06089401GT| for data sleuths at Hack Club Slack with a review queue similar to how #CNMU9L92Q| work to avoid abuse and false flags for those who want to spot the leaks minus the copy-and-paste-da-permalink part. Don't worry, leeks flagged through the bot are anonymous but logged the user ID of the first person to flag for moderation purposes. Simply react with :leeks: or privately flag as leek via message actions on channels like #C05SVRTCDGV| and #C054QL5JHU0| (or even #C01FXNNF6F2| if you seriously want to FAFO with the FD).

today i worked on: 1. an assignment on DDE for my robotics class 2. started working on my chip-8 emulator but i switched tutorials since i wasn't rlly sure where to start. i think im getting the idea so i might go back to the one i was using to see if it makes more sense :) 3. contacting a boba shop for discounted boba for counterspell since we're getting like 100

day 4 of no code. today was a semi no-code day, i didnt do any coding but i learnt about it in my robotics class. i also did lots of maths work and econ work today for assignments i wanna submit early (i rlly wanna clear out my schedule by submitting everything wayyy earlier). i also got some tickets for an SMEs convention (im mostly only gonna use that to network for #C07J6TP1LLB|). counterspell related, i got to work a lil bit on the budget, if you wanna check it out its here :)
