Hi to all, first thanks for all of your work, Im amazing with all!!
Im bougth some parth to my phoenix:
-SSC32
-Bot board II
-Atom 28 Pro micro
-12 HS 475HB servos(coxa and tibias)
-6 HS 645MG servos(for femur)
-phoenix chassis
-and rf PS2 controler.
-6 ASB-04 bracket pairs
-(optional)-a 1.2Gz Wireless cam and receiver and a 7" TFT monitor. I allways dreamed with that!!
-and my had made batery pack.(I explain it later)
I have integrated the bot board and the SSC on chassis to have batteries on top(to change if).
Now Im reading the Xans and Zentas and I have some ideas for phoenix!!
I want to put an arm with twezer to tho phoenix (i need time to do this ^^) and activate the arm with R1 and the joistics.
On the future (not now so if Anyone want to think about this is welcome) I want to put a rope with a motor who lifts the phoenix!! Like the real spiders!!
I read about solid edge comunication… is interesting… because if this is done the terrain adaptation motions…like up stairs… could be more easy to program…genering a downstairs an upstaisr sequences… I dont know much of this teme but Im interested to see it.
BATTERIES:
To power the servos I find good solution, I take one battery of a notebook how have 6 cells
18650 2400mAh 3.7V SAMSUNG SDI Li-ion Battery Cell
we put 3 in paralel getting 3.7 7200mha (think that normal batteries for phoenix has 1800-2800mah) and with other 3 cells in parralel we serialized all, getting 7.4V 7200Mha.
Impresionant?? YES ops and if you put like in my photos you can change batteries quickly
I totally agree with pyrrhick! I’m looking forward to see the arm upgrade to!
I took another good look at your pics and noticed that you are using plastic servo horns. You might consider replacing them with aluminium ones. The horn is the only link on the legs so there is a lot of force on there…
The middle legs are subjected to a lot of stress in this pose. I myself observed that after running through some action moves some servo horn screws got losed and needed to be tightened again.
Lynxmotion SES Arm Wrist Rotate Upgrade - SESAWR-KT
some servos and C-servo brakets… aluminiun tubes…
also I order a
-motor controler (for the rope launcher xd ooooooooo!!^^ I have to put one rope launcher to climb and descend )
-another bot board (because I have another atom basic… and I want to probe robots with weells also ).
on a week when the order arrive to me so I will start thinking.
Nice videos! It seems like your PS2 receiver is missing or having a defect LED in front? Or am I wrong?
Interesting work with your arm, almost like a scorpion tail. It reminds me a little of the Chiara robot. I think the greatest challenge is to make it balance if the COG is moved to far from the centre of body.
lol… not in the photo with arm the arm isn’t conected and the poenix is off.
about the balance… I donth think to move while moving. I have to think well how to move 6 servo arm because I have to put Gathered initial position and whe presing a button extend and start moving it with the joistics.
I have to learm programing atom pro… I spect to do someting in the next months,
I will post progress but maybe I need some help programing.
Maybe someone can help me with mi fist steps programing it.
I want to do;
Activate this while L1 on:
-With left joistic horizontal move P11 servo
-With left joistic vertical move P12 servo
-With rigth joistic vertical move P13 sevp
-With rigth joistic horizontal move P14 servo
-With pad horizontal direction +10 -10 to the wrist rotate
-With pad vertical direction +10 -10 to the griper opening-closing.
I totally agree with Zenta! Very creative to put a scorpion like tail on the phoenix! I think that you could do some real cool stuff with it once you make IK calculations for it! This way it would also be possible to add it to the COG and allow you to move it without having tot worry about the legs. Picking up heavy stuff will be a whole different story…
Anyway, I like it! Maybe I’ll try it myself some day!
and if you put like in my photos you can change batteries quickly
