Ok, Heres the pics :
Just wanted to try out some Photo Editing skills. 8)
Iso.
What do you think?
These two photosā¦ Are they shown in what you expect to be the standing position? If so, you may experience problems with a lack of range of motion in the reverse knee joint when it comes to stepping high enough to clear the ground by any meaningful amount, since it appears that the knee joint is already fully contracted in the photos. Adjusting the position of the knee servo so that the short side of the servoās case points toward the front (instead of the long side, as pictured) may result in a wider range of motion, since you wonāt be pinching the case between the two brackets.
I guess I am wonderingā¦ how does it turn? walking forward and all should be fine, but how does it go left?
Turning might have to be done brat style where the legs are moved in opposite directions simultaneously, but it depends on the foot design he uses really. If the foot is not smooth on the bottom like the brat, then the sliding action may not work very well.
Looks that way from the photos. No hip yaw axis is shown, so I assume that foot-slide turning in in the plans. This is the primary reason why I havenāt done much with my BRAT-configured biped recently - itās waiting for a hip upgrade, but itās been losing the battle for attention and parts, so itās still waiting on some more servos and brackets.
@ Seamus : I said Iām short on Brackets, But I didnāt say that I was also replacing them with Long āCā Brackets.
@ Everyone else :
I havenāt done the Upper body yet, Because of lack of parts.
Yes, The bot will turn like the brat.
Just so I donāt confuse everyone, as I said in my other post, i havenāt finished the other leg yet, But once I order my parts from Lynxmotion, Iāll be able to finish the other leg.
The feet are going to be custom made, and they are going to have special touch sensors on them, and Iāll make them have little shocks near the toes, to keep it balenced.
hmmm, this is really interestingā¦ last summer I wanted to get into vacu-moldingā¦ I guess Iāll do it this summerā¦ The idea of custom foot (you can make it real cool) plus sensors on the bottom is cool!
Wow sam, I havenāt seen you inā¦FER-EVER.
Anyways, Thanks.
Yeah, but I come once in a while to read the threads and keep myself updated.
I found this one interesting, so why not post Iāll probably be hanging out here in the christmas vacation, for the moment Iām to stressed out by all my exams.
See ya later
Exams? Theāre in late Jan here in torontoā¦
Same. Hamilton Kicks Arss! The Bulldogs hockey team rocks (won the calder cup last year), But our football team sucks
Ummā¦can we stay on topic here?
Anyways, i finally got a chance last night to replace all those nasty little Nylon Snap Rivets with screws. I donāt think i need any pics though, since its just a small update. so far Iāve got $268.63, which, hopefully, is enough for all the parts that I need.
Down to the cent, nice.
You can probably make youāre own vacu-molding for not a lot if you go to a local hardware store you can find evrythig you need.
Then You have to do youre prints, wich is going to be nasty I believe, lots of trying to get the right thing.
Keep us uptaded and give us piks of waht it looks like!
Yeah, I have a few hobby stores around here. I also have a few Lowes/Home Depot stores around here.
So, did you start building the vacu-molder? It should be very interesting!
Sorry it took me so long, Iāve been busy.
Nah, I havnāt got any updates yet. Iāll try to get something done soon thoughā¦
Will the new Gyro Sensor that Lynxmotion has in stock work with the Basic Atom?
Got any pictures yet?
I donāt think heās started yet
Sorry, I was on vacation. I havenāt had time yet to do anything else besides replace the Nylon Snap Rivets with Screws.
