i built a combat robot. in fact i build combat robots now, i guess.
I may be an electrical engineer, but for some reason that didn't sway me away from what is essentially the wildest mechanical engineering challenge. Neither did some strange mishaps, which could be interpreted as either me being too stupid for this sport or some sort of divine intervention.

    I was most curious to see how the WiiMote was used to control Who Cares. You could probably get absolutely silly and map tilt controls to a throttle somewhere...

    • @KylesMaybeElectricalStuff
      @KylesMaybeElectricalStuff หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nunchuk is drive, B is 1/3 weapon throttle, A is 2/3 weapon throttle, A+B is max weapon throttle. The wiimote itself only has an accelerometer, so anything more than waggle controls are infeasible with the amount of effort i was willing to put in (even then i struggled to get super fine control). Wii motion plus adds a gyro for actually usable tilt controls. I should figure out how to use it...

      Humour (Commonwealth English) or humor (American English) is the tendency of experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as humours (Latin: humor, "body fluid"), controlled human health and emotion. People of all ages and cultures respond to humour. Most people are able to experience humour-be amused, smile or laugh at something funny (such as a pun or joke)-and thus are considered to have a sense of humour. The hypothetical person lacking a sense of humour would likely find the behaviour to be inexplicable, strange, or even irrational. Though ultimately decided by subjective personal taste, the extent to which a person finds something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence and context. For example, young children may favour slapstick such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons such as Tom and Jerry or Looney Tunes, whose physical nature makes it accessible to them. By contrast, more sophisticated forms of humour such as satire require an understanding of its social meaning and context, and thus tend to appeal to a more mature audience.

      I've tried that - someone made a library to make any of the Atmega32u4 based arduinos into a USB gamepad. If memory serves me right i had limited success using it, but I ultimately found that the keyboard was overall less finnicky. I did add this library to the adapter as its own config, but nothing would recognize it for unknown reasons.

    Great video! Loved the combat and the humor. I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but I had a similar controller disconnect issue with my ant weight (also using an ESP32 and bluetooth controller). The issue turned out to be the boot button on the microcontroller. Sometimes big hits would cause the button to trigger, the board to reboot, and the controller to disconnect until I went through the pairing process again. Other times it would still think the controller was connected, but wouldn't accept input until I fully shut down and re-paired the controller. As a short term fix, a big glob of hot glue on the button worked great!

    • @KylesMaybeElectricalStuff
      @KylesMaybeElectricalStuff 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! What you're describing is basically what happened. I didn't show it, but in that final grudge where the drum split, the same thing happened where it died and couldn't accept input. We opened the box, power cycled, and just as you described, it came back to life.

    Hi, kyle, if your reading this, how would you connect a wii remote to an arduino to control a robot?

    • @KylesMaybeElectricalStuff
      @KylesMaybeElectricalStuff 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The wii remote itself is just a bluetooth device, so I had an ESP32 inside the robot that it connects to. Someone made a library to do this which I used, though it takes a small modification to get it to work. I keep meaning contribute my fix to github but I keep forgetting to github.com/hrgraf/ESP32Wiimote The ESP32, in my experience, is not able to handle pretty harsh conditions (i.e. combat robotics), so I'm working on a different solution using ELRS, but it's still a bit immature to talk about here. That being said, I can still recommend it for most other things. Some folks use ESP32s to control 3lb combat robots at NHRL with xbox controllers and such, so I might just be bad at this.
