#1 - Smoothly Animated Robot Eyes on OLED Displays with the Robo Eyes Library

[@MrRG118]

I have wanted to create.a desk pet for such a long time and this is the motivation I needed! Thank you

[@Mobius-3D]

same i want to build a robot pet with emotion but i noob in electronic

[@KiranDevi-ni7yv]

Same bro

[@FluxGarage]

Maybe I'll sell some kits that would make it easier to start :)

[@vladsynytsyn3074]

Wow, that's such an awesome project! Keep up the great work, I can't wait to see how it turns out!

[@VictorFrost]

I look forward to seeing the final library!

[@Rob_III]

Noice! Looks great! Can't wait to get to use the library!

[@radicalvillain]

Great work! looking forward to the library!

[@neoflix59]

Thank you.. You have no idea how long I been looking for this

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Outstanding work! Subscribed and excited to see more!

[@lukaso97]

Keep working on your project, i remain expectant for further results!!

[@prusafixer]

Very nice project! Looking forward for the open source library. I have some OLED screens laying around 🙃

[@filstudio-zulfadli9554]

Nice work bro. I'm also working on a project that requires animated eyes on an Oled LCD. And I found this video. I can't wait to try your library. Keep going bro.

[@technology_projects]

Amazing idea and well explained! Never thought of using a Nokia screen for such use cases

[@arekifsimpang9092]

Truly awesome project btw👍🏻

[@aaamott]

Impressive! I've got a couple places I'd love to use this and a pair of OLED screens just waiting for it!

[@dastatiks6182]

This is so cool, I was looking for something like this ! Awesome !

[@bentsprockettech]

So nice! I love OLEDs. Thank you for sharing this one with us. :)

[@chrisdeaap6915]

Very awesome project. 👏👏 I will definitely use this for an AI interface.

[@le_h_racing]

Absolutely awesome ! Keep it up

[@JuanFunQi]

Looking forward for the next update however I have encountered some issue in curious mode if a change mode to "happy or tired" and set it to "off" while curious is in effect, eyes stock continuously (unbalance)

[@GranMaster]

I really liked your work, I'm looking forward to the library, it would be really cool to implement a bench pet or a virtual assistant

[@FluxGarage]

Thanks! Yes, such desk pets are cool and I'm also planning to create one :)

[@michu129]

very cool stuff, keep it up!

[@TheIronHeadRat]

Great job, thanks for sharing 👍

[@speeter6345]

looks very cool!

[@softwarepole]

Any chance it would work on two separate displays (one eye on one display)? I am trying to achieve something similar with the smaller 128x32 modules on raspberry pi.

[@FluxGarage]

In theory, this is absolutely possible, but not "out of the box". You'll have to find a solution for controlling the two displays with a single controller, there are some tutorials here on youtube how this can work. After that, you can use the RoboEyes library as a starting point and split up the drawings.

[@softwarepole]

@FluxGarage I got them connected both to software I2C buses and can draw simple rectangles to them. I think I will need to use threading to draw them at the same time, but other than that I think I am ready. I will take a look at the library and try to integrate it.

[@Nayel-Khouatra]

Thank you so much !

[@ruanclaudio4719]

Is it possible to use 2 visors and to put 1 eye in each of the OLED screens?

[@FluxGarage]

This is a frequently asked question. In theory yes, but not "out of the box". At first, you'll have to find a hardware solution to use the two displays with one controller. Next you need to adjust the RoboEyes library's core to split up the actual drawings for the two displays. And of course, probably you'll need to adjust some of the library's logic.

[@DonaldTrunket]

Hi, is this library based on adafruit gfx so that it is also compatible with esp32 boards?

[@FluxGarage]

Hi, yes it‘s based on the Adafruit GFX library and works fine on ESP32 boards.

[@kaitoshimizu2043]

so, how tomake A.I robot controlling OLED eyes when it want to make it impressions? this is serious question, i hope you reply :)

[@FluxGarage]

I'm not sure if I got you right. But as a simple answer: In your code it's about checking if an event occurs, such as "robot detects a known person via face recognition". Then you could change the robot's mood to happy and trigger the laugh animation like this: roboEyes.setMood(HAPPY); roboEyes.anim_laugh();

[@tinkomusic604]

bro how can we use ir sensors except these push buttons

[@tinkomusic604]

bro how to create and add crying fun in this

[@tinkomusic604]

bro plzzzz give a circut diagram without breadboard and add jyro sensor in it for eyes tilt plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@ratrollerzspeedshop]

euhm maybe a stupid question but is it possible to use 2 screens 1screen per eye?

[@FluxGarage]

That's a frequently asked question and the answer is: not "out of the box", but it should be possible. It requires a hardware solution, e.g. two displays with different I2C adresses. And the some changes on the software side need to be made. I'll put that on my to do list to figure it out for a future Version of the library.

[@ratrollerzspeedshop]

@FluxGarage thanks for the info , i'm gonna try and find a a bigger display for my robot build

[@ratrollerzspeedshop]

@@FluxGarage ok another question if you don`t mind , i got a 5.5inch oled screen a ssd1322 how to adjust the code to that screen? 256x64 screen

[@FluxGarage]

@@ratrollerzspeedshop Sure. I'm not familiar with ssd1322 yet, but I've found a library that should make it possible to run the RoboEyes on such displays: github.com/venice1200/SSD1322_for_Adafruit_GFX

[@FluxGarage]

I'd install the library and start with the ssd1322_test.ino - If you get this one up and running, you can then get rid of all the test drawing functions and include the RoboEyes as shown in the video #2.

[@TechVirtue]

Super cool project! I can see that some of the OLED displays are bigger than the more common 128x64/32. Would you be able to give me the name/model of some of the bigger OLEDs that you used? Thanks a ton.

[@FluxGarage]

Thank you! Sure, google for "2.42 Inch OLED displays with 128x64px". They are available for SPI and I2C.

[@dev_life_style]

perfect

[@Tinkoplayz]

Bro u change all with button can u use sensors axcept button than when we tilt robot eyes down such as

[@FluxGarage]

Yes, you can read any kind of sensor and trigger some state changes or animations accordingly. For example, you can involve a temperature sensor and let the robot shiver/freeze when it‘s cold. I‘m working on some shorts that cover such sensor related stuff.

[@Tinkoplayz]

@@FluxGarage plzz make it and ehen we put hand on robot head his eyes moves up plzz make it

[@FluxGarage]

Will do this in the next few weeks :)

[@dannysprogis8446]

Awesome 🎉

[@PriyankBolia]

Is the library open sourced and available or this is just a demo

[@FluxGarage]

This video is a first demo, the library will be open source soon, I'm working on a "getting started" video and I hope to publish everything very soon. Stay tuned!

[@RealtyElectronics]

When will you publish the library.

[@FluxGarage]

Just now, check this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaWviJZrr9-lo6s

[@astro_kozuki]

How can i get the bitmap data

[@FluxGarage]

The RoboEyes library is not based on prerendered bitmap sprites but draws the shapes using the Adafruit GFX library. It‘ll be all published together with my next video. Stay tuned.

[@NimaJafarlou-mj7oo]

hey can i use this library in tft circular display?

[@FluxGarage]

Not as it is, but theoretically it can be adapted to work on TFTs, because it‘s based on the Adafruit GFX library. Also, you would need a fast controller to push all the colored pixels.

[@vinaykumargupta7487]

from where you get such big oleds??

[@FluxGarage]

These are 2.4 inch oled displays with 128x64 pixels. You'll find many brands and sellers if you google them.

@@FluxGarage you're welcome! you(re really talented! inspiration can lead to creativity and keep on with the engineering!! good luck!

[@hypnoticatrance]

If u use ESpi library you can use sprites, and then the flicker is gone! kzbin.infoIBjRAHX_4xg

[@FluxGarage]

Thanks for your hint! Actually I wanted the eyes to be completely generic in terms of their shape, movements and so on. When using prerendered sprites, I'll lose this capability. Another question is, which flicker you mean? If we're talking about the slow vertical "scanlines" - these are only visible on camera and not in real life. If we're talking about the artifacts that are visible during fast movements (the ones I called glitches), then yes, this becomes less when using spi.

[@tinkomusic604]

bro u add laugh flicker button in it plzzz add crying button in it for crying

[@beingtechnified]

great work, I've worked on this as well, I'd like to collaborate with you!!

[@FluxGarage]

Thanks. So you have also created a solution for drawing simple robot eyes?
