README

        
Yes, it's yet another hobby robot, like many of those based on Arduino. So, to make it more fun, it features:

- Raspberry Pi Pico instead of an Arduino board

- My own tiny asynchronous event loop (since [CircuitPython doesn't have one](https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/frequently-asked-questions))

- Custom «asynchronous» BNO055 driver

- Multiple asynchronous tasks running «at the same time»

- Simple REPL over Bluetooth

- Schematics & PCB design included

## Parts

- [Raspberry Pi Pico](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-pico/)

- [Adafruit TB6612 Motor Driver Breakout Board](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-tb6612-h-bridge-dc-stepper-motor-driver-breakout)

- JDY-31 Bluetooth Module

- VL53L1X Distance Sensor Breakout

- BNO055 Absolute Orientation IMU Fusion Breakout

- PS2 Wireless Receiver

- Piezo Buzzer
