Building a DrawBot with parts from AdaBox 002 #Adafruit #AdaBox #Robots #DrawBot @Adafruit

From the Adafruit Forums comes a delightful build: a turtle drawbot by user PawArmy.

My AdaBoxDrawBot is a small robot that uses colored pens to draw on the surface it’s moving around on. It’s built from Adafruit’s AdaBox 002 and some additional parts. I used a custom FeatherWing with a MCP23008 I2C 8 bit port expander and a ULN2803A to drive a pair of 28BYJ-48 stepper motors.

It runs a version of my ClassBotLib (see https://github.com/russhughes/ClassBo... for more information) modified for the FeatherWing. I am currently working on porting the ClassBotLib from Arduino to micropython. I’ll be documenting the build and will post it on GitHub.

See the pictures and video below. Great work!!

Here is a video of it in action.
