For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; 

for it is great.

Person Sensor

After finishing and testing components for the first one, I used extra parts I had on hand to wire up two more sound boards that use audio input to move a servo.  I ordered a Person sensor last week and it arrived today.  I will be using this so Dewey's eyes will follow a face that is in front of him.  95,100,72,0,B

Somehow, I came across this Australian puppet act while researching animatronics. I have since binge- watched all his YouTube videos.  This excerpt from the full routine "Randy Writes a Novel" is epic.  97,101,72,0,B

slacker?

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Surprisingly easy...

When I first thought about trying this build, I figured if would be fairly difficult and that I would have a lot of problems with it. But this "DIY SIMPLE EYE MECHANISM" by Will Cogley was exactly that. All the parts printed out flawlessly and assembly was quick and easy. Only problem I had was that the center hole on the "Three-point Connector" was too large, so I revised the part with the correct hole size using Tinkercad and reprinted it. Wired up all the components according to his diagram, installed his code, and on first powerup it worked exactly as advertised. 103,108,75,0,B

Romans 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

Drone repairs...

No Amazon Prime Day deals for the DJI drones I had my eye on so did some more work on the drone today.  After a good rest, the battery seems to be OK and I was able to fully charge it.  Leg repairs done and did some successful hover tests.  Got some smudges on the protective lens cover but they don't seem to affect image quality.  If I decide to replace it - it's a cheap/easy fix.  Next, I have to address some issues with the camera gimbal and shaky video.  103,109,77,0,B

Old friends...

Dan and Katheryn Winters came out for a long overdue visit.  They are thinking about buying the 20 acre tract for sale behind TFL.  Dan and I worked together back in our NYC daze.  He has done quite well for himself as a photographer.  100,105,79,0,B

Testing audio inputs

Testing my finished "Jawduino" talking head robot with ChatGPT using the Google Chrome extension - "Talk to ChatGPT". It allows you to interact with GPT by talking and listening rather than typing and reading. You can download the extension from the Chrome Web Store.
