Do you want to add Wireless charging to your Robot projects? Whether its Raspberry Pi Pico, BBC micro:bit, ESP32, Arduino or any other type of board. In this video I’ll show you how easy it is to add wireless charging modules to your robotics projects. I demo this using a Pico powered SMARS robot, and also a microbit. I then connect up a lipo battery and charge it up. Finally I design a charging dock and robot attachment in Fusion 360, save as STL files and slice in Cura before heading over to OctoPrint to print out the parts.
