Chappie - Desk bot with Groq support

This project demonstrates how to create random emotions and movements for an OLED display using the FluxGarage Robo Eyes library. It also integrates AI-generated human-like behaviors using an API.

Features

• Displays random emotions and movements on an I2C OLED display.
• Connects to WiFi and fetches AI-generated emotions/actions via an API.
• Supports automated blinking and idle modes for the Robo Eyes.

Hardware Requirements

• Microcontroller: Arduino Nano v3, ESP32, or similar.
• OLED Display: I2C OLED display with SH1106 chip.
• Other Components: Breadboard, jumper wires.

Pin Configuration (ESP32 Example)

• SCL: Pin 22
• SDA: Pin 21

Software Requirements

• Arduino IDE or PlatformIO.
• Libraries:
  • Adafruit_GFX
  • Adafruit_SH110X
  • FluxGarage_RoboEyes
  • WiFi
  • HTTPClient
  • ArduinoJson

Setup Instructions

1. Install Required Libraries: Use the Arduino Library Manager to install the necessary libraries.
2. Connect Hardware: Wire the OLED display to the microcontroller's I2C pins.
3. Configure WiFi Credentials:
   • Update the ssid and password variables with your WiFi credentials.
4. Configure API Credentials:
   • Update the apiEndpoint and apiKey variables with your API endpoint and key.
5. Upload Code: Compile and upload the code to your microcontroller.

Code Overview

Key Components

• WiFi Connection: Connects to a WiFi network.
• API Integration: Fetches AI-generated emotions/actions from an API.
• Robo Eyes: Displays emotions and animations on the OLED display.

Functions

• setup(): Initializes the WiFi, OLED display, and Robo Eyes library.
• getHumanLikeBehavior(): Fetches a human-like emotion or action from the API.
• loop(): Updates the Robo Eyes display with random emotions or actions at intervals.

Supported Emotions/Actions

• HAPPY
• ANGRY
• TIRED
• CONFUSED
• LAUGHING

Example Output

• The OLED display will show random emotions or animations based on AI suggestions.
• Serial Monitor will log the current mood and other debug information.

Notes

• Ensure the correct I2C address is uncommented in the code (0x3C or 0x3D).
• If the API key is missing or invalid, the code will default to a blank response.
