Make-A-Pede

Due to the Arduino 101 being discontinued, we will be switching to using an UNO-compatible microcontroller and a HC-08 Bluetooth module.

We have been working on making more tutorials on adding sensors to the robot.  Tutorials for a sound sensor and a RGB LED are now posted on our tutorials page.

We have updated the design of the 9V holder to include some additional wiring slots.  These help to make wiring any electronics on the head module easier, particularly the OLED display eyes.

We got a PIR motion detector working with the Make-A-Pede.  More details on how to install one on your Make-A-Pede are available on our tutorials page.

We uploaded all of our basic assembly tutorials to our website today. They detail how to construct, wire, and install electronics on a Make-A-Pede. There are also instructions on how to download the programs necessary to get it up and running. The videos and written instructions are available at: makeapede.com/tutorials.

Going forward we will be trying out some additional sensors and possibly uploading some tutorials related to expanding the robot with additional sensors.
