Pico Bot

A desktop bot for fun... wobbles around, falls over, blinks and shows the data from the gyro and accelerometer.

Micropython

You'll need 1.19, not all firmware appears to work, if you have problems try the one included here https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/9/9d/RP2040-LCD-1.28.zip to test your device. You'll then need download the "Pico with Pimoroni Libraries" via Thonny or https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases

All this because I used the ellipse method in framebuf which didn't appear till 1.19. Apparently circles are cutting edge and only just released!

Printing

Printed on an Ender 3 Neo v2 with standard settings and PLA filament.

Painting

Sanded down and a couple coats of primer, 4 - 5 coats of spray metalic silver paint. Photo really shows up the layer lines, it's much less noticable in real life and has quite a nice gloss finish.
