No problem Jim, i was convinced the larger screws were the rights ones as well as they look very similar to the 4-40. No setbacks, appreciate the customer service!
EDIT: Pico switches came from robotshop.ca today. Still awaiting bluesmirf to arrive. For now, Im going to fool around with my SEQ software and SSC-32 and a few servos, see what I can make of it
Ive been trying to connect my ssc-32 to the SEQ program, but keep seeing the ācant find ssc-cardā popup. I refferred to the Help section and it still dosent help. Im powering the SSC-32 before I turn on the program with a 9v battery on VL and have two jumper on Vs1=Vs2 and one on Baud on the B. Help is needed/
Yup, I did all that, and my serial cable is good. After refferring to This thread I realised 3 jumpers were not in place (which I suspected). My ssc-32 now connects and I have full control of all the buttons.
Yep, we sent it out yesterday, I believe. Iāll email the tracking number to you - I didnāt when it shipped because there was no order number on the package, so I couldnāt look it up. Sorry about that!
Today I began cutting the side panels of the rover from the metal plates using Metal cutters. Tomorrow I will grind the edges, cut the bottom and top as well as the angular side plates. Then I will cut the āLā bracket and drill and assemble the body. I expect to work 5 or more hours on this project tomorrow if nothing comes up (as something always does! )
a quick question though, how thick i s the metal ur using? wat type of meal cutters? like a pair of tin snips? i worry that its not thick enough to provide a stable frame
its probably about a millimeter thickā¦ It can bend pretty easy, but its metal and seems very strong. Thats all I can say right now, as soon as I get my camera tomorrow, Iāll take lots of pictures for you.
I got it at home depot, its the only sheet metal they had, so Im assuming its something like what you have, becuase its very hard to cut with a hack saw, and a bandsaw would be perfect, but the shears work good too providing I grind the edges later.
hmm, i dont think we have similar metals, mine is about as thick as the SES brackets and even in the full sixe 24 X 24" sheet, i was not able to flex it more than an inch out of plce (from a startng point in the middle)
Im sure it will. I have long aluminum L brackets that will line the entire inside of the chassis and reinforce all corners. Iāll show you tomorrow, promise
If you are working with metal, you might want to look into brazing the metal parts together instead of bolting. You should be able to join small parts together using a mapp gas torch, which go for ~$50. The below pages have videos and links.
