Hi Guys. I am a senior student. My graduation design teacher requires me to deploy a large model based on the Petoi Bittle X platform. According to the content input by voice, the large model will give detailed instructions after analysis, and the visual module will realize environmental interaction to clamp and pick up the required workpieces, ultimately achieving intelligent handling. I think there are many difficulties in this process: 1. The deployment of a large language model at the edge. I can think of two ways: deploying it on a host computer such as a Raspberry Pi or directly calling an API over the network. 2. The design of the gripper. I saw that you posted a video on Bilibili called “Robot Dog Mining Race” which uses Bittle R. This kind of robotic arm may be helpful for my work. Can this kind of robotic arm be purchased as…

The documentation for BiBoard programming says to use Arduino 1.x and ESP SDK 2.0.12.

Arduino: The v2.x IDE is much, much better than the v1.x. Keeping around an old, lesser version for programming BiBoard is not ideal. This could make sense in an industry environment where legacy equipment is being maintained, but in a learning environment it's not great as it's one step forward (using the Bittle!), two steps back (hassling with multiple versions of an IDE, working around already solved problems, etc...). If Petoi intends to continue on into the future, and it surely seems committed to that!-- then it is inconceivable that it remain on Arduino 1.x now that Arduino 2.x is released, stable, and widely deployed. I understand there's a technical reason for that, but AFAIK OpenCat is the only ESP32 project to be stuck like this so perhaps there's hope a solution can be found.

I have a few Bittles with BiBoards and would like to trigger skills from a Matlab/Julia/Python script using a wifi connection. Specifically, I want to be able to tell the robot to walk forward, turn left, turn right, and stop (although in general I would like to be able simply to trigger generic skills programmatically). I cannot yet see where this control is documented (although I did find https://docs.petoi.com/apis/serial-protocol for documenting instructions emitted over a serial cable). Obviously it's possible, as the app works for commanding the robot!

Anyone could point to some documentation or post a working code sample?

So I have had my dog for years! And I now had the problem where what I call the front left shoulder cracked! So right by the screw by the fron left servo, but you know what! That's ok!! The files for 3d printing are avalible, and my local library here in Chicago has 3D printing... the result? A happy new green shoulder!
