Build robots from your phone. Connect a compatible ESP32 robot, configure GPIO pins, test motors, and turn your ideas into editable routines with Vibe Controls. Save routines, adjust movement values and timing, and send instructions directly over Bluetooth. Optional robot Wi-Fi gives you a private web control page with shared pins, positions, and routines. Use Stop Robot to stop movement through available Bluetooth and server connections. Keep compatible robots current with signed firmware updates. Updates prefer Wi-Fi when the robot is online and stop movement while installation is in progress. Projects also lets you create, edit, and publish web apps with AI tools. Robot features require compatible ESP32 hardware with DareBuild firmware. Your phone needs internet access to generate new AI routines. Saved routines can be sent over Bluetooth without robot Wi-Fi. iOS can fill the current Wi-Fi network name with permission; the Wi-Fi password must be entered or previously saved in DareBuild.
