meganetaaanon Show HN: Stack-chan – Open-source companion robot easy to assemble and customize

Thanks. I am planning to sell the kit. https://hackaday.io/project/181344-stack-chan-javascript-dri... Not soon, but not far off. I hope you will look forward to it.

And third-party kits are already available. Please refer to the comments above.

A little more info that I didn't include in the post.

Did you know that more than 150 Makers have already started building Stack-chan with kits or their own creations? We frequently publish the results of our development on Twitter under the #stackchan tag. https://twitter.com/search?q=%23stackchan%20OR%20%23%EF%BD%B...

I've written a detailed explanation of the motivation behind the development on my Hackaday works page, and the Logs page contains not only my development records, but also examples of hacks by community members. https://hackaday.io/project/181344-stack-chan-javascript-dri...

I updated the link on the readme. FWIW the video has English subtitles. Hope you enable then watch it.

Thanks for your comment. I am currently working on a Getting Started guide and hardware kit to help people with no electronics experience get started.

There are several options for getting Stack Chan hardware. Option 1: Kits. You can get started by purchasing a third-party kit (https://mongonta.booth.pm/ ). This kit uses a breadboard and wires to assemble the dedicated circuit board instead of soldering it together. Another user illustrated instruction article (https://note.com/sylacwa/n/ne58704a19110) is also available.

Option 2: Personalized manufacturing services. JLCPCB (https://jlcpcb.com/) offers 3D printing services and board fabrication/assembly services. Data for Stack-chan boards (https://github.com/meganetaaan/stack-chan/tree/dev/v1.0/sche...) and cases (https://github.com/ meganetaaan/stack-chan/tree/dev/v1.0/case) are in a format that can be ordered directly from JLCPCB.
