Hi again!! I have used Muscle Sensor V3 from Advancer Technologies to control InMoov arm. For the moment the system works like this:
The signal is sampled at 500Hz using a timer interrupt at arduino board, and a threshold is set in order to determine when the hand is closed (If the signal sample is…En afficher davantage

Fred uploaded a new picture: Possible spring for… il y a 12 ans et 5 mois

Maybe a possible spring for tendons ?
- Fred replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
  
  Gael, do you think that one of those springs is usable? I am thinking to this one mainly:
  d = 0.70
  L0 = 11.10
  Ln = 13.46
  Fn = 30.70
  F0 = 4.50
- Gael Langevin replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
  
  Actually the type you selected should be fine, but I have no idea how much tension would be required. I suggest getting a cheap box of various springs on ebay and run some test, then we will know what is the best.

  - Gael Langevin replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
    
    okay I just ordered a box, but if you want a quick build, don’t wait for my test. 🙂
    - Fred replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
      
      hehe. Will try to order some springs too (or find them in Paris).
    - JP replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
      
      I have the exact same box at home.
      Its very useful to have.
      
      and it’s cheap.
      most springs are expensive if you buy just 20.

To Fred and others:
https://groups.google.com/group/inmoov/attach/151d3d256a4108f0/spring%20tensioner1.jpg?part=4&authuser=0
This is how I see a spring added to the retraction tendon. In this set up we avoid forcing on the servo either way of rotation and it also avoid losing tension in the tendons.
- Fred replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
  
  Have you already tried this ? If so, what kind of spring do you use, and where to buy it ? 🙂 (ok, I’m lazy 😉 )

    It is not the derivative :

    that you used for the pulleys?
    - Fred replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
      
      No. It’s your pulleys, with a modification inspired by the derivative 233923 : no need print again pulleys, just drill and use small wood screws. I used little nuts instead of washers (I did not have washers so small).
      
      Fred replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
      
      This combination allows you to adjust the tension of the tendons much more easily than with knots 🙂

    I’ll post pictures when the arm is ready. At the moment, I’m looking for the best way to fix the tendons. I am trying to print the Funlab actuators to test.
    
    I must say that the setting of the tendons is the most difficult part of the mounting arm.

    - Gael Langevin replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
      
      The spring called « ressort tension » is more interesting I think, as I already suggested in various posts to use a spring on the retract tendon to keep both tendons always with a correct tensionning.Images intégrées 1
      
      Fred replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
      
      I try to use a spring on the retract tendon retraction in a few days because the tension on the servo is too strong and it suffers from this tension.
      
      What kind of spring do you use or recommend ?
      
      Gael Langevin replied il y a 12 ans et 5 mois
      
      Damn, I tried to post a picture in my previous comment to show you how to set the spring to avoid the tension you are describing on the servo, but it didn’t show. I will send it to you by mail.
