Review of the Elecfreaks CM4 XGO Robot Dog kit with Raspberry Pi Compute Module

The folks at Elecfreaks send me an Elecfreaks CM4 XGO Robot Dog kit with Raspberry Pi Compute Module. I had a heck of a lot of fun playing with this robot! It's amazing hardware. It has a Raspberry Pi Compute Module and it's extremely well built, although there are some challenges with the software. You can program it with Blockly/Python, and you can remote control it directly from your iPhone or Android phone. I was not paid for this video, but I did receive the robot for free. It will be donated to the my high school robotics team!
The Elecfreaks KZbin is at / elecfreaks and you can get the robot at shop.elecfreaks.com/products/...
Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, 1.5GHz quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72 CPU, 2GB RAM, 32GB Micro SD. 15 Servos on the limbs for a LOT of flexibility in movement. It can also do Machine Learning/AI things like face and limb recognition, all on device, without network access.

Wow - Very cool👏

[@slipgateaustralia]

That’s awesome :)

Now if you can attach a small spade to the grabber and train it to recognise barker's eggs it would be perfectly suited to roaming the backyard after my organic canine companion.

[@shanselman]

That’s…left as an exercise to the viewer 😂

@@shanselman maybe in the future my daughter will tell the story of how she got into robotics through not wanting to do her chore of collecting dog poop. I'll float the idea tonight. 🤣

[@elecfreaks]

Super cool!!🤗

[@shanselman]

Thank you 🤗

Awesome video Scott, thanks for sharing. Any recommendations for a starter robot for a 4th grader, maybe something you need to assemble?

[@shanselman]

I like the CuteBot Pro shop.elecfreaks.com/products/elecfreaks-smart-cutebot-pro-v2-programming-robot-car-for-micro-bit although it's not a total assembly from scratch, it's cheap and fun

[@vfeinman]

Just picked one up. Here's hoping for a Christmas win! 🤞

I have an odd question. The servo Control board. That’s in the body of it. Mine is broken. And for the life of me. I can’t find a replacement. Does anyone know where I can get one. Or one that is compatible with the XGO mini 2
