I once went to order a battery, and they told me that for legal reasons, I can't buy just the battery. So, now I have an ESP32 board I have no idea what I'm going to do with.
Hey, there were no actual " final chalk prints" watch & see ! He only used that thing to maybe make a few rough lines... The rest is all B.S. weird edits !
@ But unfortunately. I don't think it can even produce a complete outline... The video, only shows it working for approx. 2 seconds at a time ? The rest is weird edits !
Excellent work! Pronunciation note: Aloysius is pronounced "al-oh-ish-us." I had heard the name but never actually seen it spelled, so I'm stoked to finally put those together!
I don't know how many people remember apple II+ computers, but I built a turtle robot from old dot matrix printer parts and used turtle basic to send the robot commands over a parallel interface. You could write any turtle basic code and the robot would execute it, that was back mid 80s early 90s. There was no jpg pictures to send it. It drew on the sidewalk with chaulk. Turtle basic AKA LOGO you can give it a distance and an angle and pick up or put down the pen that was about it. But it did make great spirograph drawings very easily. That was the first robot I ever built. Everyone loved to watch it draw. I dont know if it was the first chaulk drawing robot or not, I know many turtle based robots started popping up around that time, mostly with a pen to draw on poster board, but it may have been close to the first one? No idea really. I just remember the months I worked to get it all working. But everyone had questions and loved watching it.
I don't think an Apple II could handle decoding a JPEG. Early PC's (without floating point co-processor) struggled with it. Your project sounds cool -- how old were you?
@JohnDlugosz i was in the last year of middle school /first year of High school it was summer that I finished the project. I got parts from old printers and radio shack back then. Anything I could find to make it work. The challenge was the parallel cable, they are big fat and heavy cables for a robot to move around with. But I did get it all working. I don't know if I even have pictures of it anymore. I lost a lot of things during a divorce my pictures are probably long gone now. Back then it was just 35mm or Kodak pictures. Physical storage is harder to keep when moving.
Was wondering who’d put all the effort into a sidewalk chalk robot but then I saw the voron and it all made sense. Jokes aside this is incredible. The production quality is top notch too. TH-cam algorithm actually did its job today folks
I am glad TH-cam finally recommended me something interesting! Great project! I see your video style is definitely inspired by "Stuff Made Here". Keep it up! Great work!
What a fantastic video. The storytelling, the comedy, the technical stuff, the history of a phrase. Let’s just hope the HOA likes side walk art. Looking forward to another video.
Only 1.7k subscribers?! I bet most of those are because of this video too. You deserve to be a much bigger creator. The editing, the engineering, and even the final product is something I’d expect from a much bigger channel. Good for you and you earned a subscriber
Using the long-exposure light thing to debug is really smart, especially when you can change the light color per-segment and stuff 9:43 HA this is so real
This was such a fun video! Great comedic timing, perfect balance between technical details and storytelling, and awesome execution. Can't wait to see your future videos
I'm a simple man, I see cute ponies, I like and comment. Also, I think finding a way to deposite chalk was very interesting, even if at the end of the video. Thank you for sharing your projects!
This video simultaneously gives me nostalgia of chalk drawing as a child and also perked my interest for modern technical projects. Very engaging content.
Getting over 400 subscribers on the first video posted is actually sorta bonkers. The youtube algorithm loves this guy and it is well deserved. Awesome work
Great work! Excellent an well produced video, some of the humour is Michael Reeves-esque. You've clearly watched aroudn the youtube engineering space. As you can see, we're all looking forward to your next video!
This was great! The editing, the dad jokes, the making just for the sake of it but with a lot of interesting challenges. I think you are onto something. Thank you so much
2:25 Vrooooom! Every house owner can relate.. :) Also... great idea, great animations & editing. The YT tube algorithm lead me here and I know why: This channel is underrated and needs more subscribers.
Came here straight from the digikey maker spotlight - really looking forward to seeing what else you come up with! Hope you show a bit more of the making/designing process in future videos!
It’s a really good video and honestly a very clever design to make chalk print that big ^w^ Thank you for the inspiration and I be waiting for the phase 2 Keep going it your first video and it’s really good ❤
Assumed I would find a lot more videos in your catalog from the quality of this one. Great documentation of your process, lots of fun. Subscribed for the next
Excellent project and video to launch your channel with! The video is really well thought out and put together as well. FluidNC also looks interesting - I might actually end up using that on some of my projects. This is a definite subscribe for me!
This vid should have wayyy more views than it does. Amazing work! Project, edit and storytelling are all great. As a fellow Ohioan, you have my attention.
The quality of your content is stellar. Excellent my friend, highly enjoyed the video. With a family like yours, you’re the richest man in the world! from a fellow ohioan 🫶🏼
Another way to cover lots of area is a string/cable-type bot. You'd need at least 3 motor bases that reel in or out string that's attached to a central carriage. It has its own interesting set of complications, of course. Regarding firmware, you should always consider searching for one that fits your exact application, because it's usually been done before, sort of.
Damn, amazing video! I would have never thought of using a circular system to draw! Great stuff. The only thing I would recommend for your channel is to look for better audio (your mic)-it can greatly improve the viewing experience with minimal effort (well, you need to spend a few bucks, but still). Nevertheless, I subscribed!
This is awesome! Great video work and design work. You showed some of the things that have gotten me excited to be studying engineering and i expect that your video will inspire more people to try making something cool.
Spending untold amounts of time and quite a lot of money to solve a non-problem.... -You're living the dream! You should contact Adam Savage and challenge him to a draw-off :D
It doesnt make sense that you only have 28 subscribers, this was '1 million sub channel' quality easily, Ill be subbing and following your posts from now on for sure! Absolutely loved all of it!
How about he never really built anything which actually works ?? It's all in that strange editing you seem to like ! There is not one single shot of it actually drawing these cartoons on the walk !!
@ Yes, a lot of work & much strange editing ! I wish he'd have used all that to inform & share with us ! Instead of being deceitful & turning into some "beat the neighbors" lying thing 😝👎
@@Isaac.J.Garcia Another comment, was quoting something he said - "I had hardware that I'd impulsively bought, and I'm not sure I know how to use it", Amen brother. - - If he had shared with us the problems he faced, often people in the comments will, Have Solutions !
Be careful, your neighbours might make a chalk robot inhibiting robot. Eventualy things will spiral out of control and you'll be battling death machines in the street
Pre-process the coordinates and lines/curves to inverse map from cartesian to polar. The result should be that when drawing a square, the robot thinks it's drawing a wave shape (peaks, with curves downward and back up to the next peak). The wrap-around can be solved by using double-cover rotation- the total area it draws in should be 720°, the normal 360° plus 180° more clockwise and 180° more counterclockwise. The design is laid out in this double-wide XY space with placement on the left half or right half based on what makes the most continuous line. - just a random former industry game dev, who has solved some of the same problems for camera logic and whatnot

Neat! I’d love to see more footage of it making the drawings.
I was thinking, this is Stuffmadehere level project! Then he shows up in the comments!!!
Another banger from a channel I’ve never heard of, thanks TH-cam algorithm.
Great video.
Considering that this is the first video on the channel - no one heard of it before.
Now I'm subbed and patiently waiting for version 2.
Read other comments, etc. The thing doesn't even work ! It's all BS & Wierd editing of video !
Fake News Scam - pretense of him doing it
damn only 9 subscribers and its your first video? the production quality is insane! keep it up your gona make it big!
Wow! Made me sub 😂
from 9 subscribers to 9 dislikes
When he said his daughter is not as cool as that kid. That was really diabolical
hope the daughter never sees that part 😢
Sometimes it be like it is.
Haha unfortunately my oldest has a lot of sas and is more than capable of returning this kind of friendly fire right back at me

Very cool! I like that it makes outlines to be colored in, like a big coloring book! I would've loved this as a kid
Using the long-exposure light thing to debug is really smart, especially when you can change the light color per-segment and stuff
9:43 HA this is so real
I'm glad I was recommend your first video. I'm getting some "Stuff Made Here" vibes. Thanks for sharing your struggle!
Amazing lighthearted video! Enjoyed the editing and chalk prints. Well done from start to finish!!
2:12 Bro just casually dunking on his own kid.
Amazing video. I was way more intrigued than most of the high production value videos. This reminds me of Stuff Made Here. Keep it up!
Very cool! The final results look great!
This was such a fun video! Great comedic timing, perfect balance between technical details and storytelling, and awesome execution. Can't wait to see your future videos
Production quality on this video is great, even crazier that it’s only vid 1! Looking forward to phase 2

Nothing to say about Aloysius? Perhaps... "Who?"
Nice video, I like the natural feeling... no over edited.
This video simultaneously gives me nostalgia of chalk drawing as a child and also perked my interest for modern technical projects. Very engaging content.
A new TH-cam Engineer channel enters the scene. Great video
Wow! Keep up the good work! Great project and very funny video, can't belive it's your first one!
This, this is what the internet was made for. I hope to see this channel grow soon.
Finally some good new content to watch! My youtube feed used to be filled with awesome projects like this. Good to see some new people making them.

Fantastic!! It got my dad brain thinking of fun stuff like this to do with my kiddos!!
Yeah, that's an instant follow. Great video, great sense of humor, cool tech, fantastic editing.
Wow I would have thought you were a much bigger channel. Love some engineering, doubley so when it involves programming.
Subscribed, keep it up man.
Keep it up, great first video! Don't take forever to bring us #2, we love you already.
Hey man, I love how you take robotics, and make really cool art with chalk from that! Keep up the good work man!
amazing quality for a first vid, look forward to pt2!
Definitely worth to subscribe. Great editing and love the work.
First time I follow an YT account with just 1 available video 😂
with videos like this you will go places👍🏻👍🏻
For step 2.. two thin wires for location would give you a high position solution. Used in some handheld cnc
Loved this video!
Great work.

What, i tought this channel was waaaaaaaay bigger that it is. Very good editing and project
Awesome! How does this channel not even have 1k subscribers?

I had pondered something like this you could just stake into the ground around the drive way, it could be really accurate.
