Run OOMWOO on a Smartphone: ROS 2 on Android with Termux
OOMWOO will be able to use an old Android phone instead of a Raspberry Pi CM4/CM5. Step one: ROS 2 in Termux - options, instructions and measured proot overhead on a Pixel 7.
How I 3D print gears using POM (Delrin)
POM (Delrin) is the gear plastic in consumer robot vacuums, and notoriously hard to 3D print. Here is how I print it reliably: two sacrificial PETG layers first, then POM.
