Vocore

My vocore boards finally arrived. They are so tiny!

So far not much done. I have tested one of the boards, ssh’d into it, installed the Micropython packages on it from the OpenWRT repositories, got TTL to work, tested that the interactive shell works.

Next I will need to experiment with GPIOs and PWM on it, see if I can get it to control the servos directly. In the worst case, I will just connect a 3.3V Arduino Pro Mini over TTL as the servo controller, but I’m optimistic.

The PyBoard will probably get moved to a slightly bigger robot body.
