Have you ever looked at a microcontroller project and wished it felt a little more... alive ? BOBO 2.1 Welcome to BOBO 2.1 . This isn't just another display project; it’s an advanced personality engine designed for ESP32-based robots. We’ve transformed a static OLED screen into a living, breathing character with simulated physics, distinct moods, and real-time environmental awareness. Whether you are a student, a hobbyist, or just someone who wants a cute companion on their d

1. Getting Started When you power on the device, you will see the Boot Sequence : Animation:  An expanding circle wipe effect. Logo:  The text "BOBO 2.0" will appear. WiFi Sync:  The device connects to WiFi to fetch real-time weather and time data. Home Screen:  Once loaded, the device enters the Emo-Pet  mode (the eyes). 2. Navigation & Controls The device uses a single touch sensor  (capacitive touch or push button) for all interactions. Action Gesture Function Next Page Si

INTRO — What you’ll build A looping LED matrix demo for the Arduino UNO Q  (8×13 blue LED matrix). The demo shows: Arduino logo (2 s) Scrolling “MICROMAKER LABS” Scrolling “INTRODUCING UNO Q” Full-screen blink (1 s interval) for 10 s Animated shades (10 s) All elements run at maximum brightness  by using the library’s 8-bit grayscale (0–255). The sequence loops continuously. Requirements Arduino UNO Q (official board). Arduino App (App Lab recommended) or Arduino IDE supporti
