Gael Langevin replied 4 years, 10 months ago

Hello,
You do not need to re install everytime you get an error.
If you want to re install, create a new directory as for example:
C:Mrlmyrobotlab.1.0.2693NEW/
And install inside the new directory. This way you can keep the other version with all your settings.

Did anyone use JX PDI-HV2060MG and get problem to unscrew the bolts of this servo? I am going open this motor but can not unscrews these 2 bolts. I am going to replace Hitec HS805BB on shoulder of InMoov!

Gael Langevin replied 4 years, 10 months ago

Strange, I had no difficulties unscrewing these screws on my HV2060MG.
You could try to gently warm up the aluminium casing with hot gun to help releasing these screws.
- smattachai.p replied 4 years, 10 months ago
  
  Do i need to open these 2 screws to make 360 rotation of servo motor? I got some recommendation to no necessary to take these 2 screws. Is that right?
  - Gael Langevin replied 4 years, 10 months ago
    
    You need to remove the end stop pin on the main gear to make sure the servo can be continuous. Therefore you do need to get those two screws.

Hi,

I found that my InMoov robot under EZPad Mini 5 tablet was a little bit slow response.

1. Is there a better performance table that anyone ever tried?

2. Or do we need to use NUC instead. And if need, where is the place to put NUC in robot? And how to make the wireless connection with tablet?

Hello,
I haven’t found a better tablet than the Lenovo Thinkpad 8″ which had 128Gb ssd and 4Gb Ram to fit in the back of InMoov. Unfortunately you cannot buy this model anymore.
The EZPad Mini 5 is certainly lacking of memory, this must be the reason it’s a bit slow with responses.

The omoplate servos are the one that get the most stress. For exemple the gesture “Da Vinci” will get them warm if you perform that gesture too many times.

        Okay I had a moment to create an adapter.
        Hopefully it fits, it’s always a bit difficult to create without testing, but I guess it should be okay.
        Jumper5Adapter.stl
        
        The JumperEZpad 5 is really smaller than the model 3, so this adapter will not fill the surrounding gaps, but only allow to mount the tablet. Nothing fancy.

    @smattachai-p, You need to adjust the level of the top bolts on the threaded rods that are within the legs, if the torso leans a little backward, it’s okay. This will counterbalance, when the robot extends it’s arms forward.

I know, done it myself but given up because:

  Awesome Finish,,, My Only warning is that Pressurized Vapor is actually about 1/8 to a 1/2 stick of TNT,,,, 2Tbps of Petrol Pressurized and Vapor is about 1/2 a stick,,, Acetone Can be just as dangerous So be Careful Dude,,,, they don’t normal tell you that in the Instruction Book,,,,,,, once again Awesome finish
