Otto Blockly progress

Hi guys good news! i just updated the MP3 DFMini block setup/init to convert into Software Serial libraries and to trigger sound events.

If you wanna try them before the new version comes (we still have a long list of things to do 😃) you can just simplify replace these 2 files in your local installation folders:

This one https://github.com/OttoDIY/blockly/blob/de3a7ddd1572a8809ccc28ab13eb50f4bf94125a/www/blocs%26generateurs/actionneur.js
goes here C:\OttoBlockly\www\blocs&generateurs

And this one
https://github.com/OttoDIY/blockly/blob/de3a7ddd1572a8809ccc28ab13eb50f4bf94125a/www/toolbox/toolbox_arduino_all.xml goes here
C:\OttoBlockly\www\toolbox

Here there is a video of the single booster using a small 16340 lithium cell from 3.7V to 5V to power a humanoid alike Otto with 6 mg90a servos at the same time in some movements (the metal ones) including a neopixel matrix 4x4 in full brightness.

I also tested the module separate and it powers more than 2 servos at same time Piers Kennedy Bill SCHONFELDER

Timm H. Try testing them out separate from the nano

Another Nano shield compatible board. 644 Narrow is a barebone implementing an Atmega644 microcontroller. It is designed as an upgrade to the Arduino Nano, offering twice the memory capabilities.

Birger T mission accomplished, we have the OLED expansion working and compatible with the previous ones. Bill SCHONFELDER you can also follow this modular approach for the laser, mp3 audio, neopixels other displays and so on.

Compatible with previous versions of Otto starter, plus and eyes. Even uses the same head as wheels.

Hi Bill SCHONFELDER

Look like this wiring and this blockly code it should work, it is a simple code to see the value of the laser sensor in the OLED directly in this way we can test both components.

All files attached.

I ordered one laser sensor also to test but it will take some time to arrive, so let me know how it goes.

Hi Otto Builders

Wikifactory has released this cool fork feature that will allow you to copy other projects and then build on top or modify and to complement that we have created this Otto REMIX template for you

https://wikifactory.com/+OttoDIY/ottodiy-remix-template

It will allow you to use as a base to easily follow step by step needed to write your readme, upload the right file and properly document your Otto robot remixes.

We will be making new challenges and contest in the future with great prices so start documenting now!

Following Birger T suggestions here is another expansion having the arms to the front, including a new grip design for you to 3D print. Do you want them for for boxing :D? Note the clip on the back is for the Bluetooth module ;*

Legs you can use Ottoky ones alternatively. they are outside the body without elevating the center of gravity

Next will be the OLED display as alternative to the LED matrix but there are memory limitations for it... how are we gonna solve that?
