Two screens, two eyeballs
08/02/2014 at 22:35 • 0 commentsThe OLED screen can be one of two TWI addresses, depending on if one pin is low or high. So I might move to having two screens side by side as "eyeball" displays. Adding the mouth is a little harder unless I desolder things on one screen to turn it into an SPI interface.

Two 2812 LEDs, one on each side
07/31/2014 at 11:22 • 0 commentsAttached to the Side Mount Brackets that hold the screen channel on. Having the LED aimed downward at the floor and along the main channel makes it easier on the eyes, those 2812 are extremely bright.
Currently I'm running them colour syned to the wheel power. Low/no power = red color, high power = red+(g|b) depending on the side.
