I wanted a physical keypad to control effects on #TouchDesigner, so I got my Adafruit MacroPad RP2040 out of storage and printed a nice new case for it. Add in some colorful key caps and it's a work of art! Software is WIP

Forgot to post here, I cleaned up my TouchDesigner network and added some filters and effects

Weekend project: combined my new hobby (generative art + Touch Designer) with robotics using the VL53L5CX ToF imager sensor. Modified my #ROS driver to also publish messages using the OSC (Open Sound Control) protocol and added effects on #TouchDesigner github.com/adityakamath...

Just hit publish on my annual recap of all the fun projects I did last year - includes a lot of robotics (work and hobby) and #ROS, including trips to #RoboCup and #ROSCon 2024. I also talk about my latest hobby of generative design using #TouchDesigner. kamathsblog.com/2024-a-year-...

Bought a fancy new multipen (2 ballpoints + 1 mechanical pencil) as an EDC on a recent trip to Cologne, but then ended up with a broken finger and now can't write for 2 weeks. FML

Oops, have been forgetting to post the results of my #touchdesigner experiments here. Here are some of my favourites, two of them are sound reactive. Based off of tutorials by @pao_olea_ (on Twitter) #visualart #soundreactive

I started learning to use #TouchDesigner a few months ago but then got busy with other stuff. Yesterday I picked it up again and am challenging myself to follow a 15-20 min tutorial on YouTube each day. Here are my results: (I'm also posting this on Twitter, sorry for the spam 😅)

I'm so fricking impressed with how good AI tools have become. I'm working on a new product idea (more details coming soon) and managed to build a proof-of-concept over a weekend using Cursor and without writing a single line of code. I only provided prompts and reviewed code 🧵

Any interesting non-robotics people I should follow? My feed is just full of robotics stuff and I'm missing the photography content, the memes and the shit-posts... 😔

Writing about my #ROSCon experiences on my blog, and I discovered the focus mode on Hashnode.dev - I can play ambient sounds like rain or forest or even sounds of a cafe. So cool! (Blog coming soon..)

Hey #ROS #Robotics people, what's the best way to connect ROS 2 and an Arduino Mega? Micro-ROS doesn't support the Mega and ROSSerial (AFAIK) doesn't work on ROS 2.

Test post from this new app called Yup. Let's me see bsky and twitter feeds together and also let's me post to both platforms at once.

I'm probably going to spend more time on bsky because of this :D

Can't wait to get my hands on this!

Hello world! I played around with an Oculus Quest that I borrowed from work. I'm totally amazed by how precise the controller tracking and localization is, the controller even detects if a finger is simply placed on top of a button/trigger. I can already imagine quite a few uses in robotics..
