Introduction Continuing the attempt to recreate Xiao Zhi AI, but based on the Arduino framework. Last week, I completed the development environment setup for ESP32-S3 + ESP-SR + ESP-TTS using VSCode + PlatformIO + Arduino (see the article “Recreating Xiao Zhi AI, ESP32-S3 Building Arduino + ESP-SR + ESP-TTS Development Environment Pitfall Record”), and the … Read more
One late night while debugging the serial port, the waveform on the oscilloscope suddenly started doing the mechanical dance— my Python script, after running for 8 hours straight, suddenly read the temperature and humidity sensor as gyroscope data. This reminded me of the I/O multiplexing dilemma Guido van Rossum faced when designing the prototype of … Read more
Recently, the Cyber Dog and Xiao Zhi AI have become quite popular on Bilibili. I also wanted to recreate one, preferably combining both, and after some research, I found that the authors’ open-source solutions did not quite match my preferences. I decided to modify them, which led me on a journey of troubleshooting. Reason The … Read more
Arduino programming is a simplified version based on C/C++ language, allowing code to be written and uploaded to the Arduino development board through an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to control external devices. Its core features are “low threshold and high extensibility”, enabling quick entry even without hardware knowledge.Currently, many programming robots in China are based … Read more
