Who I Am

Born to explore. software, hardware, especially anything related to space exploration. My ultimate dream is to build something that operates on the moon. The Moon because I can point at it and tell the others that my robot is exploring that big giant ball.

Why I'm on Hackaday.io

One day a colleague came and told me about a self built Prusa i3 Mk2 printer that was cheap. It caught my attention and before I realized what happened, it was here, it got built and it became my best friend.

I wanted to learn RISC-V, not on an emulator, but on a real bare metal RISC-V processor. Even though Sparkfun RED-V is no longer produced.

    Experimenting with the Thor electronics and software led me to IoT devices like ESP-12. I somehow thought it was something like an nRF24L01 but using the Wifi media instead. Big was my surprise that it also contained a micro-controller on board.

    That is what I have been doing all weekend, toying with ESP-12.

Thanks for liking #Home Smart Mesh , I see you have 3d printing skills, that's my next step, my printer is already ordered, I'd like to make housing for my sensors and I'm shifting to Robotics, the concept is still ongoing https://github.com/Roblibs/gzrover, sensors networks and robotics go well together.

  Are you sure? yes | no
