Test: Charlieplexing Feasibility Study 1

Status: Successful.

Not the cheapest robot in the world. But pretty cheap. Cheapo is an experiment in budget robotics.

I am not sure how much Cheapo cost but it wasn’t much. Ok the Arduino controller and servos cost a little bit but not that much. And the stuff that I built his body out of cost about $1 I think.

The poor little guy is not much to look at now. But just wait until I get some sensors and onboard power in there. He still won’t be much to look at, but he will be smart as a cookie. Like literally, a cookie that you would eat. And once I upload my proprietary "Interactive Droid Executive Layer" firmware onto him… Well, who knows cos I haven’t even written that crap yet.

Now all I need to do is find some JST connectors for the friggin infrared sensors I have sitting around in my toolbox… I will give you eyes Cheapo. So you may better bring me beers.

Mmmm. Beer.

Poor little Pleo, it didn’t stand a chance!
