Hello, this is based on a monthly subscription. If there's an update to the firmware or new models, will i need to subscribe again?

Creative C
CreativeChance

When you subscribe and download this post, updates to Orbit and Sprouts code or 3D models should be available even after stopping the subscription 🙌🏼

Will you be open-sourcing the firmware so that we can change the character's behaviour?

can we have a binary for the 1.28" esp32 display ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CSSSYFYY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Does the screen even fit the housing?

Hello! I know you want to protect the project's property by not uploading the source code to the software, but would it be possible to include the fusion project file so others could make quick modifications, or different attachments?

Carver H

Yes please! I'm interested in editing the code to add features!

Pretty much like the idea, will try to add it into home assistant with esphome as a voice assistant 😊 will be a lot more fun with esphome software to control the faces with it (e.g. show weather with smiles or crying). also allows to bring up notifications. Thanks for this great inspiration.

The prints went really good. printed all 3 and they will get good places around the house.

Great project, thats the speaker model? got a affiliate link?

Creative C
CreativeChance

It should be included with the Waveshare screen in the package. I don't have an affiliate link

Hi, in my download there was no pdf? And where do I get the code to make the screen run?

Creative C
CreativeChance

The download folder includes a Deskimon.zip file, that includes the PDF and the code!

J

Hi, yes I found it.

Jeremy

Does the Deskimon run on battery?

Creative C

It's powered via USB-C!

Bonjour, je viens de télécharger le fichier ZIP du DESKIMON, j'ai les fichers STL mais pas le fichier programme firmware, ou je peux le trouver ?

Creative C
CreativeChance

You're right, I updated the instruction manual, and for some reason that made the zip file disappear. But should be fixed now, thanks for letting me know!

Chti B
chtibradeu

Par contre ce serait interessant d'avoir un listing avec les références des éléments qu'ils faut acheter pour chaque montage ainsi qu'un schéma de cablage.

Creative C
CreativeChance

The instruction PDF contains the link to the exact screen you need, with all the hardware pre attached. No need to wire anything yourself, it's just plug and play.🙌🏼

If you do want more information about the screen, you can check the manufacturers website!

C'est OK, bravo pour votre réponse rapide :)

It would be nice to add holes where the microphones are to use for a voice assistant. Would be great to combine your eye expressions with Xiaozhi AI (https://github.com/78/xiaozhi-esp32) which supports the same Waveshare board. Is it possible to get the gifs for your eye expressions?

I can not find the code or Step-by-step assembly guide Flashing instructions for quick setup

There's a pdf included in the zip file when downloaded

Hi, I downloaded the model but was not able to find the binary?

Creative C
CreativeChance

When you download you get a zip file with the 3d files and another zip file in there. If you open that zip file you'll see Sprout and Orbit folders, and in there you can find the software folders with the bin files.

Hello! Perform the procedure in the program guide and finish step number 7 but it does not turn on, and I try to connect it to the PC and my device does not connect. Help!

Creative C
CreativeChance

After flashing it shoudl be turned off completely and turned back on again, you do this by holding the power for at leasy 6 seconds, to turn it off, and then turn it on again.

If this doesn't seem to work, you can always unplug the battery, and flash it just over usb C, that should be more straight forward in terms of power.

what speaker do you need

Creative C
CreativeChance

The speaker should come included with the screen in the waveshare pack

Dirk V

It looks great, though having two issues with it... The button-pins are too short, they do not reach the button of the screen/pcb. And the battery wont charge. Does the battery need to be connected during flashing? I think battery is fully empty but it does not indicate to be charging, no percentage, nothing... What info would I have to see and is this a common problem?

Creative C
CreativeChance

There's a battery icon visible in the settings screen, maybe your battery is connected wrong or completely drained?

Flashing with or without battery doesn't make a difference.

And in terms of the pins, I haven't heard this before, what printer do you use? You could always extend them a little in the slicer if needed.

When I downloaded the Deskimon file on 8-February, I found that the Orbit_F_10000.bin and the Sprout_F_10000.bin files are of diffferent sizes.

Orbit_F_10000.bin 2923488 Sprout_F_10000.bin 2801872

Which is the correct file?

Thanks! This stuff is great!

Creative C
CreativeChance

You flash the character you want to use! Different sizes could be due to slight variations in the files, it's not a problem.

Hi, I bought the file, but I can't find the head without the top center hole in any of the models. Basically, there's a larger square hole between the two button holes. Is it without this hole? I can't find it in the zip file.

Creative C
CreativeChance

The hole is there to make it modular with all accessories availaible and to come in the future for the Deskimon

I'm probably blind but don't see a reference to the speaker you're using for this model...? Any link help would be awesome! TIA!

Creative C
CreativeChance

Hi, it should come with the screen! If you order on another website than the one linked you can double check, but most of the time they should come together

I purchased the file and bought a Esp32 S3 board as instructed but its too small for the head, so wasted $50 on it, is there different sized Esp32 S3's?

Creative C
CreativeChance

It's a screen with esp32 and a lot more components build in.

I'm sorry you got the wrong one, but the exact link is in the instruction manual, and you can find it for $20-$30

Jhonny N

dovresti mettere nella guida che bisogna scaricare altri software sul pc perche quello che tù indichi nella guida non permette l'installazione di file BIN

Jhonny N
jhonny.nucci

Buon giorno, ho scaricato e stampato il file ma i file Bin mi indicano "stato disponibilità errore!!

so i have now went through two of esp32 i followed the link from amazon both of them had a case on it with the screen glued to it when i tried to remove the screen from the case both of the screens crack or end up damaged i was as careful as possible trying to remove them. How can i remove them without them breaking?

Creative C
CreativeChance

The guide says:

  1. Waveshare touchscreen with ESP32 This exact 1.75 Inch ESP32 screen by waveshare: (Get the one without the case!)

And the link should be the one without the case too. I don't think it's possible to remove the screen from the device with the case :(

Hello, I realy love those Deskimon. Is it possible that you could maybe add the source code? I´d realy love to make some small changes to it? :)

@CreativeChance - where do you get the speaker from?

It is not specified in the part list in the PDF Build Guide, however it is needed for Step 2 of the assembly steps ??

F

Mmm. It looks like the ESP32-S3 1.75 I ordered didn't ship with a speaker but it should have been included.

Creative C
CreativeChance

Yeah it should be included in the package. I'd contact the supplier and see what they can do.

For now it does work without speaker

Very cute. Cannot wait to see what else you do with this! What does the "manual emotion mode" actually do? There's no documentation or mention in the video of this setting.

Creative C
CreativeChance

It’s basically a switch that lets the user swipe through the emotions manually. I added it recently after a dad suggested it could help his son choose and show how he’s feeling more easily

Bonjour, je viens de télécharger les fichiers "bin" dans le "Waveshare ESP32-S3 1.75inch AMOLED", l'effacement et le chargement c'est bien passé par contre j'ai débranché le cable USBC puis rebranché, j'ai toujours un écran noir et pas de son. Je ne sais pas d'ou vient le problème.

Chti B

Ok, autant pour moi, étant novice dans la programation des ESP32 je n'ai pas suivis complétement la doc joint. Je n'avais pas modifié les chiffres dans les onglets à gauche dans la page de programmation. Maintenant ça marche, il ne manque plus que des capteurs pour motiver le robot :)
