    Grip Sensor: a sensor board that gives PWM servos a sense of touch

    A Grip Sensor board gives basic PWM servos a sense of touch by measuring servo current to estimate grip force. A status LED indicates whether an object has been grasped, a Teach button lets users teach the grip strength, and an open-drain status output can communicate with existing MCUs. In the video demo, the servo grips a box; when the box drops, the board detects it and notifies the MCU, while also preventing the servo from gripping too tightly and overheating. The author has made 5 boards for testing, available by direct message.

    Why your robot's power supply is the real bottleneck

    A robot's power architecture determines the reliability of sensors, compute modules, and the whole machine under real operating conditions, yet most teams treat the power supply as a solved standard part and overlook it. The article gives four key metrics for reading a regulator datasheet (load transient response, dropout voltage, thermal derating curve, and switching-frequency ripple), plus an engineering order for part selection and troubleshooting. The author recommends first plotting the current curve over a complete duty cycle, separating noisy from sensitive loads and running limit-condition tests, and prioritizing investigation of two fault classes: shared rails and thermal derating.
