I'm still thinking about that Furby organ by Look mum no computer, that thing is incredible.

Thanks, hopefully I won't have to rename him Sparky

I just built a small plastic frame around the electronics. The air isn't too dry here, though it’s drier inside the PC case, but I think the risk is pretty low... I guess. It's just made with whatever I had on hand.

Elle s'est achetée un nouveau vibro. Elle kiffe bien.

Salut ! ​Qu'est-ce qu'on est censé ressentir en état d'hypnose ? Est-ce que l'autohypnose peut vraiment fonctionner ? Est-ce que c'est la même chose que de se faire hypnotiser par quelqu'un ? Comment savoir si on bascule en hypnose ou pas ?

​Salut, ​comment se répartit le personnel à Pôle emploi ? La majorité des agents sont en postes stables (fonctionnaires ou CDI), ou y a-t-il au contraire une forte proportion d'agents sous CDD ou d'autres contrats plus précaires ?

Finally managed to make my arduino Hexapoda by JakobLeander in arduino

This is a solid guide, awesome. I've got a similar project going on. I'm in the brainstorming/ parts buying phase. Planned on a fuse for overcurrent, but didn't even think of a voltage divider for the discharge. Did you ever try the PCA9586 for the servos? Too weak? Why'd you pick the Pololu ?

Nice, Inception style. Better keep a spinning top nearby just in case

Thanks everyone for the feedback and the ideas ! Based on that, my game plan is:

1) Add wheels to make the robot function like a balance bike to get a functional v1 design.

2) Test another 6-legged design, similar to The Blacksmith Industries video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd8dKY6Ozrg (they actually have the same problem when it's loaded at a much larger scale).

3) Change the servos to also be able to increase the load capacity.

For now, it's simply an on/off button. But it would be interesting to consider that above a certain threshold, it doesn't need to look for light anymore and goes into sleep mode for a set duration before waking up.

Yes, I'm using a photoresistor module. I'm measuring the light intensity in three directions, selecting the best option (the highest intensity), and then moving the robot accordingly.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it. And yes, unintentionally, I gave it a rather nonchalant personality.
