Software Instructions for animated eye: * follow adafruit instructions for setting up circuit playground bluefruit for circuitpython https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-circuit-playground-bluefruit * follow adafruit instructions for setting up circuit playground bluefruit for tft gizmo https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-tft-gizmo * also need to add to lib: adafruit_display_shapes (install like adfruit_display_text in instructions above) * copy dingbot_eye_v9.py here to CIRCUITPY/code.py on your circuit playground bluefruit (looks like their most recent setup changes thing and _v7, _v8 won't work with it; _v9 updated 9/4/2020) Animated eye operation on Circuitplayground * slide switch center back (D7) controls if Dingbot blinks * reset switch in center back to reset (maybe useful to wakeup after drain power on battery) Instructions for printed eye: * On Prusa, set to change print filament for pupil (white to black) * use M600 * dingbot_nogizmo_eye.stl with Simplify3D and 0.2mm layers, I put before layer 42 out of 49 layers * Eye pops into rectangle where TFT gizmo would otherwise go To build from scad, you may want Write.scad: * https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16193 * dingbot_body.scad assumes in same directory with associated write directory
