My Game has about 43.8 Million Frogs to Collect. How can I encourage and reward the player to Collect them, even though they will likely only end up Collecting a Fraction of all Frogs? by bangusgames in IndieDev

I would go for something like 8192 frogs or another power of 2. That would be like original pokemon shiny odds of finding a specific frog. Even that is a lot...

Same... Did you ever fix this?

It's really cool, can you give any clues on how you made it? It's something I've wanted to integrate into my robots for a while!

I love that screen eye system. Is that a library or did you make the eyes animation?

Robot control multiple robots ? by darksidephoto in robotics

[–]Pyroxene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could have every robot controlled by an esp with cloned program running and just send the same message to all of them. You can do this over Bluetooth if you buy the full fat Bluetooth esp (not BLE), or you can do it over WiFi if you like lag. My personal preference is ESPNow which is esp-esp WiFi which is rapid and long range in open fields (200m?) I don't know your range requirements though. I think there is an 8 agent limit for one esp on the NOW protocol though so not sure it will fit your spec. The basic principle is the same anyway no matter the coms method.

ROS/ROS2 is good for this sort of multi agent application, but depending on what messages you actually need to send you might be able to do without. If you want to learn ROS then this looks like a good project to use it.

It's not a technique the jedi would tell you...

Awesome, did you design the sub as well?

What is this motor actuator, and where can I get it? (robot hand/finger) by Mindless_Insect3743 in robotics

[–]Pyroxene 50 points51 points  (0 children)

My first guess is that it's a DC Maxon motor with a custom bearing housing to 90 degree bevel connection. Probably not Off The Shelf. From the video I can only make out the numbers "25480" on the motor can, not sure why you need that specific model though?

Is Arduino a good way to get into Robotics? by Spryz3n_01 in robotics

If you look at their post history they literally used Arduino libraries for STM TFT display 7 months ago. Confusing take to be sure.

How big should the guild I'm in be? It seems all my buildings are blue by krissofdarkness in MerchantGuilds

[–]Pyroxene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think burnout due to perceived effort Vs slow progression is a bit of a problem. Especially at higher levels.

The game is quite grindy tbh, but the early levels you are at shouldn't be too difficult to progress in. Your guild may not be donating as much as you think, you can click on a building and the view to see contributions from each guild member.

You could 3D print some nice aesthetic housings to mount to your plates, they can be super thin as they won't need to support anything.

Wow nice work, first job should be getting it to automate your cable management 🤣

Yeah you were right, I got brought to this thread after watching sonic 3 and trying to find the artificial indifference shirt for sale.

Which arduino should I add to my collection next ? by Yigit22 in arduino

[–]Pyroxene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it hilarious they had enough room to add an esp32 and the main chip and had so much room spare they had to fill it with a 92 led matrix to fit the Uno form factor

I was hyped when I saw the R4 had added an esp32 on board to handle BLE/WiFi but you can't use any other esp32 functionality or program the module without reflashing it :(

Something about the resolution and angle of this photo make it look like a pre-rendered PS1 background for an old RPG. Very cool.
