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!
Fixable!! content media

Just wanted to see if anyone has an updated Mac M1 and connects to Bittle with bluetooth. I can connect with USB but not bluetooth. This lets me see if it might be the app or the OS. I just don't want to keep trying to figure it out if it doesn't work for anyone else... Thanks-

Upgraded to the Biboard, but when I try to upload to it I keep getting: Failed to connect to ESP32: No Serial data received Anyone run into this or have any ideas? Checked everything I can think of, re-installed everything, new cable. Probably something silly that I'm missing...

I see Bittle can not understand voice commands but it requires the right sensor. I am just wondering it the phone app could be upgraded so the microphone on the phone could be used to send Bittle voice commands?

I downloaded this from the latest update email, but when I try to run it I get a prompt saying I do not have permission to run it. I have tried changing owner and group, tried setting a security exception, but no luck. If anyone has any ideas or has gotten this to work please let me know. John-

OK, so I have plugged my camera into the second port to start testing. If I run testI2cDevice in the serial monitor is scans for and see 3 addresses, so I am thinking the module is connect correctly and is seen. If I try to upload BallTracking I get the error "Error compelling for Arduino Uno" Has anyone had any luck with this, and if so what was needed to be done?

I am getting to the point of trying to use the camera but have no way to attach the camera to Bittle. I believe I saw somewhere that a rubber band could be used to attach the camera to the dog bone and then close the mouth on the bone, but I don't have a bone. In looking at the video it seems like there is a white clip that attaches to the back of the camera and then the mouth is closed on that. How would I get one of those clips? I had looked and do not see a printing file for it. If I have to find a way to have something printed I would much rather print the clip over the bone so I don't have to worry about the rubber band breaking. Also, is it normal for Bittle's head to pop off any time things go wrong and he flips over?

I know that when you add any type of extra board on to Bittle you can not longer attach the back cover. would it be possible to make kind of a square collar that would fill in the extra space that is created when a Pi or I BiBoard is added. It would clip into the body just as the back would and then the back would clip into the collar spacer. I personally like having the back attached in case he flips over I know that board would not be damaged. Thought? John-
