just got the botboard v2 and a nanocore12, tring to program is geting frustrating is the a programe out there that will help me to make this esearer on me
tring to use the bot bord v2 as the brains to control the 85 servos and 115 touch and srech sensers, pluse tring to figer out how to control the acuaters.
i have seen the ssc 32 bord and was wundering if it might help to less complecat the programing,i found software for it that will genarat the codes for servos but not for the streach and touch sensers.
ok lets start with the head. skull with movibel jaw uses gws servo,eyes use 4 gws sub micro servos"look left and right,up and down" eye lids use 2 sub micro servos and 6 flexinol actuator wires abut 1" long"servo controls open close, flexinol controls flow of cyber skin".then comes facel movment with about 18 2" p.c of flexinol wire"moves lips to show exreshen,is molded in the dragen skin casting for life like movment." neck is 3 home made actuator made out of 6 v moters and some all thread. they sit in a v patern" front is for head moshen forward and back,2 side ones for side to side and turning of the head."
shoulder sockets use 2 Banebots 12V 263RPM 2527oz-in Planetary Gearmotor w / RS-540 Motor,I have 2 images scientific 4" streach senserson the front and back of shaft to regester the motion,inside cheast is platformed out for the component monts this is where the bot bord v2 is held to keep it cool and away from moving parts.there are 3 8" actuators in the stumic aria with a 12" flexible streach sensor atached at each end, this allows me to now where the acuator is at.some as the nech.the hips are 2 moters i pulled out of a wheel chare there 24v and very powerfull.
slip on to sholder moters and lock in place,there are 2 300lbs actuators on the top of arm"this controls the moshen of out and in alonf with the elbo in and out,all actuators are set up with stretch sensors to tell how far they have traveled". the rist is set up with 1 1970 world servo for rotashen,then there is 8 flexinol acuator wires to move the wrist right,left,up,and down.I 3
stretch sensers to help now where and how the wrist is moving. All the fingers are controled using flexinol wire and stretch sensers there is about 6 wires per finger and 2 sensers.the finger tips have 2 interlink electronics 0.2" cercular fsr’s,this is for touch sensing only not for controling.“1 is in the tip of finger the other is in the middle of the finger together they con keep from crushing every thing it grabes.”
i would like to use a 12 v battery what would be the best way to step it down to 5 v vor my ssc32, and my bot bord v2 bord.
Hi,
You would need a voltage regulator that can provide sufficient current to your system.
Hope this helps,
So to restate your problem. You would like to build a location aware fully articulated humanoid robot.
For this, you are using (among other things I assume) the Mini Atom Bot Board V2 and the NanoCore12C32S Microcontroller Module. And, on top of that, these little microcontrollers are causing you headaches (microcontrollers are well known for that).
If you provide further details about your project and the specific problem you are having, we might be able to help you out.
Since you have so many servos, I would say you definitely need servo controllers.
Having a controller will simplify your code and offer far better performance than controlling with your microcontroller by regulating the digital pulse width.
The Lynxmotion SSC-32 Servo Controller seems very well suited for your application since it can be controlled using serial communication.
Finally, your project sounds amazing. Please do not hesitate in posting pictures!
