About

I make things with code and I teach other people how to do the same. I created this channel to share some of my creations and teach people about programming and making.

To try everything Brilliant has to offer—free—for a full 30 days, visit https://brilliant.org/SamMeechWard/ . You’ll also get 20% off an annual premium subscription. This isn't really about hacking a Roomba - it's about taking stuff apart and figuring out how to control it with code. Microcontrollers like the raspberry pi pico and the esp32 s3 are awesome and I hope every developer tries using one at some point for something.
