@@monad_tcp If I understood correctly it is because of photoelectric effect, when photon with enough energy smashes into bare die, it disrupts the electrons grid structure and provides enough energy to move electron through depleeted region and IC can glitch because of this.

According to EEVblog xenon flash can generate UV light frequencies and they will travel further into microchip than regular visible light and cause this effect.

5:05 I think the explanation for this is that you have a floating pin that interacts with the motor. Having a pin in this state, it can receive external interference from anything (alternating current when you turns your light on, for example). You need some pull-up or pull-down resistors to fix this. epic video man!!
Thanks :DD - Also your wisdom is much appreciated, quite a few people have mentioned the external interfeerecne, but noone has mentioned the floating pin bit yet, so now I have a way to solve it!
5:30 The movement is probably caused by leakage current. Highly simplified, additional current (from the lightbulb) travels through the air, in to the raspberry pi and messes with the chip. If you got no ground connection (on the lightbulb), this can happen, but most devices stay unaffected by this (except low power devices, like LEDs and computer). It's basically the same technique as in an wireless charger.
oh my lord, current travelling thoruhg the air over usch long distances? (maybe a metre), it would make sense but im not suprised i never landed on that lol
You are probably using a compact flurescent light with a dodgy starter. I suspect your light is doing a high voltage arc, that is messing with the sensitive servo control circuit.
i am unsure if somewhere your robot was connected to the main when the arm moved. as far as i know, if there are items plugged in to the same house circuit and one is switched off, then there is a brief surge as the circuit adapts to the change. especially if the still connected items are sensitive/low current, this could surge said item, hence the arm movement and then burn out. this is what i think i know, but i am in no way educated in the ways of human existence :) so it could just be bumf
That was definitely the best video yet. It was great from every aspect! No complaints what so ever. Maybe get a bit more into the details for the nerds (like me😊) if you feel comfortable but if you don't this is just fine as well. Keep up the good work bro!
nice robot. isnt it possible to use computer vision to detect the yellow and/or the green pixels of the label? i think you use that to estimate the distance and to center the movement.
mmm that is a good idea! I wonder how you would go from pixels to distance though? I suppose you could just take teh width of the butter and focal length hmm....
@@Robotcus you can capture a image of the butter when its on the desired grabing distance. get the width of the butter at that distance. then make the robot walk until the butter is at final distance. less math more easy =p
Very very cool video! BUT what we need is Cozmo with a BRAIN! goals: self charging, self thinking, able to index items around the house; and last let it figure out if it can take the object back home.
A little late to the party and probably wont be seen, but why not use sections of tread that fit together with hinges? I have printed out a tread fidget toy that uses this and that design has always worked perfectly for the fidget toy and I think it might work for this purpose as well.
I saw an online STL that used that hinge design (like a tank track right?), it was even print in place which was super handy, I did print it, i think it would have been better, and i adapted it for my motors, but ultimately i just wanted the experience of actually doing the maths to try and create some tracks myself so i went with the one here, also makes me feel better when i make a video about it claiming my amazing and brilliance lol if ive actually built it
10k views in 3 days!! your channel is picking up! awesome video keep it up. It's nice to see smaller creators recommended to me. Looks like we are both trying to figure out the youtube game lmao
You should have hooked it up to chatgpt api and used piper-tts/whisper to comunicate with it... let the chatgpt give back position of butter (by adding grid overlay marked with xy cood. numbers...) 😆 great anyway though....
@@Robotcus no, it's really simple.... you can google it and with proper libs, you could make it in just 30, 40 lines of code... the heavy lifing is done by the chatgpt and piper currently i am really busy, but as soon as i get time, if you want i can make a simple example project and share link here, do you have discord or something? i would love to help you.. and it's feels like really fun thing to do also.. only issue is i have zero electronic skill other than occational playing with raspberry pi and arduino(i work as SE)
If you think it is experiencing crisis now just wait until it finds out that you're switching to margarine.

babe wake upp new Robotcus video just dropped

If you print the tracks in a circle, they wont fight as hard when spinning the motors my rubber lego tracks are like this.

@@Lucifer-HH-isbestdad thanks bro
so good, Thanks for the laugh and the interestingly depressing look into the future of home robotics.. We will all be humans in Wall-E

Haha love that project 👍🏻
Ok I’m spooked. I just watched this episode today the first time. Now, this video is on my recommended.
always watching wazowski, always watching....
No way, Butter Robot!
These videos are so chaotic I love them lol
@@PanGuy_ The only ever way to make them
well done 🤣, replicating from Rick and Morty is crazy
Me (robotically) :
What is my purpose?
To watch this epic new robotcus upload
good to knoew you understand
instead of printing the treads as ovals, why not circular? then there would be no stalling due to the shape?
Yeah i think you would be right about that, im just a donkey

LET'S GOOOO, HE IS BACK
i like how you call the rpi a "microcontroller" :D
Why didn't you just print the treads round?
am silly billy
I can definitely see that your skills have improved over the past couple of videos
awesome :D
Please check to make sure your houses butter is grounded.. I mean power is grounded. Could explain ur light situation.
1:04 yes I'm your god, be happy I told you your purpose, my god didn't tell that to me
the arms movig due to ac current (hz) must live in uk diffrent power output from ac/dc
ahhh smart, this could very well have been it since i am in the UK

ooo dat is a cool idea, make a busines out of that lol

thats sick man. Plz make more!?!?
ooo I may just have to
Man, the way those servos broke is so weird. Also how does this video not have 100k views!?
Another commentor said rasberry pis can break with light lol, proper weird lol, also thanks

You couldn't get actual butter for the video?
youre cool as heck we both have the same 5$ mouse lol
For future track making, make them into a circle ⭕ but big enough for both wheels and a gap
awesome ty for advice :D
Very, very,…. very,….. very,……very good 👍😀
yet another diy pass the butter robot
I like this

Don’t forget me when you become viral
Cool
