<h1>Maker Information</h1>
<p dir="auto">I' m a <a href="https://twitter.com/robo8080" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">robo8080</a>(@twitter).<br />
Former embedded software engineer.<br />
My hobbies are robot production and electronics.<br />
I publish what I produced on blog and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/robo8080z/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">YouTube</a>.</p>
<h1>Product Information</h1>
<p dir="auto">It is "<a href="https://youtu.be/Yax-7oOnESE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc"><strong>M5Bala_Avatar</strong></a>" which put an avatar on M5Bala.<br />
When you push it with your finger, it change face and talk with you.<br />
You can see the video from <a href="https://youtu.be/Yax-7oOnESE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>
<h1>Purpose</h1>
<p dir="auto">M5Bala is so cute as it is, but I thought that it would be more lovely with avatars and made <a href="https://youtu.be/Yax-7oOnESE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">M5Bala_Avatar</a>.</p>
<h1>Technologies and skills</h1>
<p dir="auto">M5Bala_Avatar based on the "Default_firmware" example included with the M5Bala library,<br />
I added "<a href="https://github.com/meganetaaan/m5stack-avatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">M5StackAvatar</a>" published by meganetaaan. Then, I used "<a href="http://blog-yama.a-quest.com/?eid=970195" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">AquesTalk-ESP32</a>" to make it talk in speech synthesis.</p>
<h1>Production process</h1>
<h2>step 1</h2>
<p dir="auto">Remove the LCD display part from the example "Default_firmware" sketch of M5Bala.</p>
<h2>step 2</h2>
<p dir="auto">Added M5Stack-Avatar library and AquesTalk-ESP32 library.</p>
<h2>step 3</h2>
<p dir="auto">Added processing to change face and talk according to the tilt of M5Bala.</p>
<p dir="auto">The sketch is published here.<br />
"<a href="https://github.com/robo8080/M5Bala_Avatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">M5Bala_Avatar</a>"<br />
The binary for SD-Updater is here.<br />
"<a href="https://github.com/robo8080/SD_Updater_TestData" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">SD_Updater_TestData</a>"</p>
<h1>Feature / Flaw</h1>
<p dir="auto">I want to make a robot that moves as if it were alive other than M5Bala_Avatar,<br />
I have repeated trial and error, but it is quite difficult.</p>
<h1>Message to M5Stack</h1>
<p dir="auto">M5Stack is purchased immediately after it is released in Japan,<br />
and then I make something for more than a year on a daily basis.<br />
Thank you for the fun products.<br />
The things I have made so far are summarized here.<br />

<h1>メイカー</h1>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://twitter.com/robo8080" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">robo8080</a>(@twitter)です。<br />
元組み込み系ソフトエンジニア。<br />
ロボット製作や電子工作が趣味。<br />
製作したものをブログや<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/robo8080z/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">YouTube</a>で公開しています。</p>
<h1>作品</h1>
<p dir="auto">M5Balaにアバターを載せた「<a href="https://youtu.be/Yax-7oOnESE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc"><strong>M5Bala_Avatar</strong></a>」です。<br />
指でつつくと表情を変えたりしゃべったりします。<br />
動画は<a href="https://youtu.be/Yax-7oOnESE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">こちら</a>から見ることができます。</p>
<h1>目的</h1>
<p dir="auto">M5Balaはそのままでも可愛いんですが、<br />
アバターをのせるともっと可愛くなるんじゃないかと思って<a href="https://youtu.be/Yax-7oOnESE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">M5Bala_Avatar</a>を作りました。</p>
<h1>どんな技術が使われている？</h1>
<p dir="auto">M5Balaのライブラリに付属の「Default_firmware」exampleをベースにして、<br />
それにmeganetaaanさんが公開して下さっている「<a href="https://github.com/meganetaaan/m5stack-avatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">M5StackAvatar</a>」を追加しました。<br />
更に音声合成でしゃべらせるために「<a href="http://blog-yama.a-quest.com/?eid=970195" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">AquesTalk-ESP32</a>」を使いました。</p>
<h1>制作過程</h1>
<h2>step 1</h2>
<p dir="auto">M5Balaのexample"Default_firmware”スケッチからLCD表示部分を取り除く。</p>
<h2>step 2</h2>
<p dir="auto">M5Stack-AvatarライブラリとAquesTalk-ESP32ライブラリを追加。</p>
<h2>step 3</h2>
<p dir="auto">M5Balaの傾きに応じて表情を変えたり、しゃべったりする処理を追加。</p>
<p dir="auto">スケッチはここに公開しています。<br />
「<a href="https://github.com/robo8080/M5Bala_Avatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">M5Bala_Avatar</a>」<br />
SD-Updater用バイナリはここに有ります。<br />

<h1>特徴、苦労した点</h1>
<p dir="auto">M5Bala_Avatar以外にも生きているかのような動きをするロボットを作りたいと思って、<br />
試行錯誤を繰り返しているんですが、なかなか難しいです。</p>
<h1>M5Stackにひとこと</h1>
<p dir="auto">M5Stackは日本で発売された直後に購入して、それから一年以上毎日のように何か作ってます。<br />
楽しい製品をありがとうございます。これまで作ってきたものはここにまとめて有ります。<br />
