TeddyCloud is an alternative server for your Toniebox

teddyCloud is an alternative server for your Toniebox, allowing you to host the cloud services locally. This gives you the control about which data is sent to the original manufacturer’s cloud and allows you to host your own figurine audio files on e.g. your NAS or any other server.

It provides an easy to use WebGui. GPL-2.0 licensed.

Author Aaron Whitaker says “I just wanted to point out that there is firmware for ESPhome also. It should be easy to implement in circuitpython too :)”

Check it all out on its website and GitHub.

A MicroPython experimental port for the Dabao

The Dabao is an awesome RISC-V evaluation board built around the Baochip-1x SoC, both created by @bunnie.

@andrewleech and @mattytrentini have been working on a port for MicroPython for Dabao, building on @ArmstrongSubero‘s daobao-sdk.

The port is still experimental, but if you have a Dabao, Matt would love some testers!

The DEFCON 34 badge may also work, also having a bao chip. Matt is very keen to hear if it does/doesn’t work!

See the MicroPython discussion page for all the details.

Make a Voice Clock with MicroPython

image via ndenki, hackster.io

 

Hackster.io user ndenki made a clock that sparkles, speaks the time, and to help beginners learn about async/await:

While the device itself is a practical daily tool, I built it with a secondary, hidden purpose: to create a real-world tutorial for MicroPython’s async/await.

Learning programming syntax from a textbook can be boring. But when you try to control hardware—syncing Wi-Fi, animating LEDs, playing audio, and scheduling alarms all at once—you quickly realize why asynchronous programming is essential.

This project is designed to show beginners exactly why and how to use async/await in embedded systems instead of relying on blocking functions like MicroPython’s time.sleep() or Arduino’s delay(), which prevent other tasks from running while they wait.

Making a 16×2 LCD 7 Times Bigger

UncleStem leveled, er, scaled up 7 times in this video on YouTube:

Instead of trying to manufacture a real liquid crystal display, I replaced every LCD pixel with an individually controllable LED and designed custom PCBs to recreate the original 16×2 layout.

We’ve got a handful of tradionally sized 16×2 LCDs here and guides too!
