I’d say make a simple cable/string pull pincer for each hand, with both hands being operated at the same time by a single servo mounted on the central part of the bot body.
Its an illusion. The ses bolt pattern is actually very close to being inline with the contact point of the two fingers. I could make the frame different, infact I can make the frame any style or shape since the guts are the most important machanical aspect. My only concearn is the distance between the ses bolt patteren and the control horn.
Just came across this thread - I know it is from 2009! But is the code for this brat with arms anywhere ? it would be good to see how the arms were programmed.
Thanks!
Can anyone reply please ? Would appreciate help with how the arms were programmed. Any code available ?
Thanks
There is no code available. I’m fairly certain that the Sequencer program was used to animate the robot for the video.
Ah I see. I think there is no sequencer for the ARC32 board so I guess I need to write the program myself.
Thanks
I am not sure if it helps much, but earlier when I ported the Phoenix code to the Arc32, I wrote my own code to run sequences. I had/have a VB application that I used to download the sequences to the Arc32 (with either a standalone program or code built into my Phoenix project), that stored the sequence in the EEPROM of the Arc32. I then had code that ran the sequences that is in the ARC32 version of the phoenix. Some of this code is probably still in the ARC32 phoenix code that can be downloaded from github, also probably versions of it is still up in the thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6042&start=90
