Kawaii Useless Robot - 2024 Edition
This is a kawaii (cute in Japanese) useless robot that makes cute facial expression and moves depending on its emotion. The only function of this robot is when you push the switch to its "ON" position, it turn itself off by pushing the switch back to the "OFF" position.
These category of robots are first introduced by a Japanese maker named 回路師(Kairoshi)back in 2012 on Niconico, but he didn't open source his design. That is why 12 years later, I am building myself a replica with modern components and design technologies.

Love this! 💛
Really cool project. Keep up the great projects!
Amazing, need one for my 15min breaks at working
有完整教程吗
I've been trying to upload the code using Arduino IDE, but I keep getting the error message "Found no CH55x USB" during the upload process. I am new to arduino, any tips?
Try to hold the PROG button when inserting the keypad into the USB port. The MCU will then enter FLASH mode for around 5 seconds and you will need to upload the firmware within this window. Otherwise it will show the error you saw earlier.
In which software did you design the pcb and is it possible for you to share the circuit diagram of this project
You can use EasyEDA for it and the source files are on Github. Thought this project is too simple that circuit wise it basically identical to a Wemos D1 connecting to an SD card with SPI, so I didn't design one when developing this project.
Very nice project. Great insights on WebOS idea. But NAS without RAID, hot-swap and disk health indicators is work in progress. Looking forward to it in the future.
I'm trying to program the ESP8266 through LOLIN(WEMOS) D1 R2 & mini, with higher bandwidth and frequency of 160MHz however I get error while uploading: "A fatal esptool.py error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header" . I have tryed to downgrade the esp8266 library to version 2.5.0 but this have caused a different error message which was "conversion from 'File' to non-scalar type 'fs::File' requested" . Is there any idea on how to fix it? Really appreciate any assistance!
Can it be possible to build firmware for NovelLife hotplate. We can implement similar functionality In Chinese clones, they are using CMS8S5897
Well-organized & cozy. 🍀👋 also, thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Hello, your project is so great that I'm working on it now, I have a big problem that the operating system you designed can't be used in my orangepi zero3, can you start with a detailed installation instructions from the operating system? Thank you
great project
Thank you for sharing this!!
You on Twitter?
Great work Toby!!❤
Nice work!
what would it take to adapt this board to control the larger aluminum hot plate with the blue base?
Do your aluminum hotplate uses AC power? If so, you will need a solid state relay for that. The rest are pretty much identical.
On the first look, i knew this is the first project to create a NAS using a esp8266, which I am looking for. The project was better than anything I thought, make me feel very excited but I am hoping you can make it support features like ethernet spi for better updown speed, a setting for self host Wifi access point so It won't require to connect to wifi router or phone's access point to get access to files system like a mobile storage device for phones, I also hope the main files of the esp8266 in the sd card sort in a folder so it can get more comfortable. This is my ideas, not anythings discontribution. Thank you so much for an opensource project like this, I felt very interesting when I know this project. Hope you great, lucky and continue making great project.
Thanks for the ideas! In fact this is one of my spin off projects from my another open source NAS project "ArozOS", which is a full fledged NAS OS project that runs on lower power systems (e.g. old POS motherboard, Rpi or Dell Optiplex) . For the price of a ESP8266 + SPI ethernet module + a SD card and your usage mentioned, you are better off getting a used old mini PC from 10 years ago and install Debian + ArozOS on top of it.
@@tobychui Thanks for your recommaended. I really appreciate you. Again, thank you so much for the project, it is perfect and I always wait for your new projects about Esp boards.
A wonderful design that I will try to make on my old Ultimaker. Thank you very much for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Is this design copied from @RobinReiter ? Saw this 4 years ago th-cam.com/video/XrnoqusTrHg/w-d-xo.html :)
A fantastic design! Whilst you have created 1U & 2U versions, is your design parametrised to allow a larger design to store more parts?
please share the step file sir
Great idea!
thanks for sharing.
Hi Toby, thanks for sharing. Is there any way to use the stick as a microSD reader as well?
I don't think so. The only way you could access the content in the SD card without unplugging the card is by using the WebStick web file manager but still, you will need a dedicated card reader for the initial setup.
Bought 2 ps Web Sticks from website, try follow instructions load files to SD card, config WIFI and setup password, power on but don't see in list WIFIs that device. Test both all the same. Looks like WIFI device not working or me make something wrong. What is wrong? Copy files, edit config WIFI txt file just put a password.
The wifi.txt setups a WiFi Client not an AP. You need to fill in your home WiFi SSID and password to make the webstick connect to your home WiFi network and access it via local IP address instead. If you are setting it up correctly and the green LED blinks once every 3 seconds, that means there are issues with your SD card (need to be < 4GB with FAT / FAT16 format), if the LED blinks once every second, it means it have difficulties reaching the wifi you setup (wrong SSID / password maybe?). If you need further support, contact me via toby@imuslab.com 😉
@@tobychui Thank You. I'll do like You describe.
Hi I’m new to electronics. Why are Apple chargers so much smaller than your design?
how secure is it im a noob. :P
The backend is a firmware downloaded into a MCU that cannot be changed remotely. Super secure right? 😎
Make other project webserver, like showing multiple sensor value on chart, logging it to microsd and can download via ftp 😅
Nice project! Is the EasyEDA schematic also somewhere? Would love to tweak/try to include can BUS connections for home automation!

Looks very nice the only change I would make is replace the USB with a USB C port
Excellent work. I will return when the project integrating the ESP32 is ready. Best regards!
Why using an esp8266 in 2023? A much faster esp32-s3 would barely increase the cost.
@@dabyd64 Thanks for the clarification. To explain your question, here are some fun facts when working with sourcing at a relatively medium size quantity. When you get the MCU in bulk (like, 100+ units), the price difference is quite noticeable. I can get a ESP12F module (100 pcs) for around 7 HKD each, while a ESP32-c3 cost around 12 HKD each. If you multiply the price difference by 100 units, you got a 64 USD difference in manufacturing cost. In you case where it is only a few cents in price difference, it is mostly because the price of the MCU you are getting has a fixed shipping cost hidden within it, which is much larger compare to the origin cost of the MCU. That is what makes the price difference so small as seen in your location. That is why when I am designing a "tech toy" that I plan to sell on Tindie, I try to balance the production cost in terms of raw material (ICs and SMT components) and assembly (PCBA pin counts, for example). And that is why after carefully consideration (also the fun parts of fitting tons of feature into a limited hardware), I use ESP8266 instead.

Wow, not only are you got at web Dev but you also do electronic engineering, seriously impressive
tysm for sharing. 👍
Amazing project and your explication easy to follow. Keep the good work

Coming soon on Tindie 🙌
I have an old dlink DNS 345 sharecenter which I will gut out all the old hardware out and thinking of using the case and chuck in an sbc into it. Something like orange pi 5 since raspberry pi 4 is still ridiculously expensive. Would love to see you make a step-by-step video for this project which I can follow. Anyway I already subscribed to your channel so that I will get notified if you make any updates on your channel. Thanks
This is so great! thank you
Fantastic! Dumb Q , where did u get the retro looking keys, slightly yellow or off white??? Thx for doing this!
Thanks! I get it from an online DIY marketplace. But I guess you can find something similar on Esty.
@@tobychui ah i see, any chance you could share a link to the DIYer you got them from? again, uber cool job, want to use in my own project to make retro looking mainframe like system... ;)
this is so cool!!
This is awesome!
nice work. Can I know why the surface of backplate is so smooth(it reflects light), is it 3d printed material?🙂
I wonder if you could cramp in Bluetooth functionality. Bluetooth modules by itself are a few bucks, maybe the cost might can stay below $5 if engineered wisely.
