vindar/SARCASM: S.A.R.C.A.S.M : Slightly Annoying Automatic Rubik’s Cube Solving Machine

Slightly Annoying Rubik’s Cube Automatic Solving Machine

S.A.R.C.A.S.M is a 3D-printed, Teensy-powered robot that scans, solves, and sassily comments on a Rubik’s Cube.

This repository contains the code and schematics of the build.

• Teensy 4.1 main controller + ESP32-CAM for image capture.
• ILI9341 display with custom 2D&3D graphics, animations, and lip-sync.
• Stepper + servos for cube handling with position sensors to detect faults.
• RGBW lighting synchronized to audio.
• On-device TTS (espeak-ng) with a collection of sarcastic lines.
• …

A slight modification of Teensy’s core is required in order for the whole code to fit in RAM.

Edit cores/teensy4/usb_serial.c and cores/teensy4/usb_serial2.c and, in each file, remove the DMAMEM attribute in front of the definition of the txbuffer[] and rx_buffer[] arrays.

This is a work in progress. The repo is currently in a very messy and incomplete state (and will most likely stay that way until I find some time to work on it…). Sorry !
