Who Gives a S#!t About Cursing Robots?

Cars That Think

The robots that share our public spaces today are so demure. Social robots and service robots aim to avoid offense, erring toward polite airs, positive emotions, and obedience.

CAN Bus Hubs

DIY Electric Car

I'm on my 4th version, I'm VERY happy with it so far. I've moved to only using 2pin connectors for all my CAN Bus work - using Deutsch DTM04-2P housings, 120ohm resistors at each end, 22awg wire, smallest Size 20 pins on each end then regular Size 20s to accommodate the double wires for the middles. For my configuration, I don't need a larger back housing to protect it, just a nice mounting for my Tech Box.
