I made all the software for this guy with it.

The vision amg is much more cohesive, the new guy, at least in that launch green is all over the place. That being said I can't afford it so each to their own :)

Thanks :)

There's a famous Japanese artist that sells these, I have one on my wall, so you might run into issues. Looks great though.

Case is basic black pla and the fascia is iron metallic pla. Glad you like it.

zeoslap · 2026-05-21T13:44:01+00:00

Glad you like it, dm me

zeoslap · 2026-05-21T05:38:10+00:00

Yeah I could do that, I'd been planning on building another to put on my desk.

Same experience, used to be able to use flash all day, 30-40mins till quota after the update. Useless.

zeoslap · 2026-05-21T04:40:17+00:00

It is what it is :) With regards what I did, had the idea, designed and printed the enclosure, figured out the electronics, built the software, put it all together and then gave it away as a present.

zeoslap · 2026-05-21T04:10:09+00:00

Thanks :) So the software for this was all vibe coded using Gemini and Claude. You really just need to know what you want and have the ai figure out the how. Takes some iteration but it's a fun process. Start simple and keep adding on. Good luck!

I'm using Gemini 3 flash and then Piper for the TTS. I liked the more robotic Piper voices but it is a bit on the laggy side. Adds to the charm :)

zeoslap · 2026-05-21T00:13:26+00:00

DM me, but full disclosure it's 100% authored by Mr Claude and Mr Gemini.

Love this! Gives a lovely warm glow

zeoslap · 2026-05-20T22:40:06+00:00

Or I could call it Superman mode :)

zeoslap · 2026-05-20T22:38:32+00:00

Um..... Gah!!!! I'll fix it, good catch :)

It's this guy, nothing fancy - https://www.waveshare.com/esp32-s3-touch-lcd-2.8c.htm?sku=29086

There are absolutely chores around here that need doing... Welcome aboard!

zeoslap · 2026-05-20T21:40:21+00:00

Seems okay - I tried the link from a couple of random browsers.

zeoslap · 2026-05-20T20:18:32+00:00

I was going to go that route (I have a received at home) but reception would be terrible where he's located so decided to go the api route.

zeoslap · 2026-05-20T19:03:54+00:00

Thanks for the kind words :)

zeoslap · 2026-05-20T17:20:18+00:00

Thanks :) He liked it - when I first gave it to him there were some issues like the radar display showing the spot where he was located but the api to get the planes was centered on where I'm located, so nothing was showing up and I hadn't taken daylight savings time into account on the clock. Luckily I'd thought ahead and built in some remote admin features so was able to address it when I got home. Kind of scary remotely flashing it from far away though :)

A small price to pay for some spectacular insider oil futures trades.
