i dont have a complete list
i dont have a complete list of materials
i dont even bought any kind of material! isnt it against the rules ,i mean because i have just idea of what material i will use,and no pics…?
you must have pics as far as i know…,
anyway i created an entry in the forum,with my concerns and questions.
Great Engineering
Hi Dickel,
Very impressive I must say. You have the mechanical part of robotics nailed. You have a very well engineered solution here, I look forward to seeing where this goes.

This looks beautiful. Well
This looks beautiful. Well crafted piece of work.
Awesome
Awesome work. I’ve been thinking about going in some of the directions you have with my next bot…need a torso to get the head sensors higher up off the ground. I love the torso you designed…well, I love all of it.

Thank you very much, guys!
Torso with a head…
First, thanks Sir. I think a torso with a head, certainly, gives some human (or humanoid) look to robots. And at this moment (I mean this time, or age, of my working) I can’t think a design of multi task robot without this two parts (torso and head), and, obvious, a locomotion method and arms to make the robot useful to manipulate some things. Please show us your project when you get some work done.
That’s Great Drickel !I saw
That’s Great Drickel !
I saw your post on mrl. Sure - sounds like fun ! The RasPi isn’t the best for processing video - but there are tricks you can do to be more proficient, such as filtering in grey and reducing the search area in a frame. MRL is getting a face lift with a new Web GUI, which makes working remotely a breeze.
Here is an Arduino I’ve been testing with cute gauges.
Thank you very much for your
Thank you very much for your always good help and attention. MyRobotLab is great and I’m thinking seriously of use this to advance my project. I just got to decide about the Raspberry Pi.
Sure !
Looks like fun, and yes I have run MRL on RasPi 
nice projet
hello dickel
my name is ambroise i am french from france
so my english is not very good 
i find your projet so nice
build with plastic cut i like it
me to i try to build himself me robot bipede in boardcard
you can see here:
@mby
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Hello. Nice to meet you. Don’t worry about your english… mine is not so good too… sometimes I need some help of Google Translator.
I’ve already took a look at your project, sometime ago. I think it was on the InMoov site’s forum. Am I right?? And I found it incredible!!
Next Tuesday (08/20/2013) I’ll go to France (Paris).

How do you power the servos?
How do you power the servos?
As the project it’s
As the project it’s incomplete (just one arm), at this moment it’s just 4.8V 2500 mAh (4x 1.2V Ni-MH batteries), with common GND to the logic power supply. Maybe later (with all the project done, with two arms) it will be 5000 mAh with the same kind of batteries.

I’ve tried to combine your code with mine but no success. Can you take a look?
arduino = Runtime.createAndStart(“arduino”,“Arduino”)
joystick = runtime.createAndStart(“joystick”,“Joystick”)
hand = Runtime.createAndStart(“hand”,“Servo”)
arduino.setSerialDevice(“COM3”, 57600, 8, 1, 0)
sleep(4)
arduino.attach(hand.getName() , 2)
def getXbox():
global xboxpos
new = msg_joystick_XAxisRaw.data[0]
if new in [“0”, “-1”, “1”]:
xboxpos = int(new)
else:
xboxpos = 0
servopos = 90
servomin = 0
servomax = 180
xboxpos = 0
xboxdead = 0.25
while True:
getXbox()
if xboxpos > xboxdead and servopos < servomax:
servopos += 1
elif xboxpos < -xboxdead and servopos > servomin:
servopos -= 1
print "Servo position: " + str(servopos)
hand.moveTo(servoPos)
#create a message route from joy to python so we can listen for button
joystick.addListener(“XAxisRaw”, python.name, “new”)
Ok, Ok… No more panic!
Ok, Ok… No more panic! This trouble has been solved. The new script is available here: http://myrobotlab.org/content/way-make-robot-become-smarter .
Thanks all you guys.
Great work!!
I like what you are doing!
I’m working on a robot using an rpi as brain! and as i see you will use an rpi. you can use the arduino with firmata and node js (the framework jhonny five) it’s very simple!
Good luck for your robot!
Thank you very much for the
Thank you very much for the tip, samko. But I’m using http://myrobotlab.org/ .
Still a lot of work to do!
your robot
hello dickel
nice job i always happy to see you advance about your robot
thank you for show is your bouild
do you think give us your plans for build it the same?
ambroise
Hi ambroise! Thanks
Hi ambroise! Thanks man!
Actually I’m planning to turn it into a totally open source project. When the things are more evolved, I intend to share all the templates for the parts, circuits, scripts… well, everything! … to anyone interested can make their own.
This is something that I’m adding to my project http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWxVrGpNhKk .
I forgot to mention… about
I forgot to mention… about the RasPi, I’m planning to use it, and I got to test every single service on it, and see if their limited hardware supports all services together. But it’s my first option and I’ve ordered it specially for this current project.
