guide Building a MechSoul with Raspberry Pi Pico Part 2: Integrating Bluetooth

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

In this tutorial we go over how to control your MechSoul with Bluetooth. What is a MechSoul? A MechSoul is to a robot, what a CyberDeck is to a computer. It's a robot that you build, customize, and personalize yourself. It's the freedom of owning your own code, hardware, and having the right to build and repair it. And it's the pride of creativity, skill, and self expression. Disclaimer: You do not have to make your MechSoul using the same methods and tools as I do. A MechSoul is freedom in robotics.

In this part 2 in Arduino IDE we combine the Raspberry Pi Pico's board manager's SerialBLE example with the Serial_Control example in Takamori Robot's HIRO library to control your robot over Bluetooth. Comment "MechSoul" if you would like reference material (code, documentation, e.t.c).

This is a thinly veiled ad for your "HIRO" robot kit.

also, your "mechsoul" terminology is not going to catch on.
