Hello all,

At the end of this month (June 2022), I will proudly participate in the monthly Engineers Teams meeting at my job to explain and show the inMoov project and how I start this adventure.

The aim is to teach them that we can do great things by combining Open source projects, Mechatronic solutions, Arduino platforms and Team work.

I…[Read more]

Aujourd’hui, j’ai fini l’impression des deux jambes d’Alex. Mon robot est maintenant tout imprimé. Bien content!

    Salut,
    
    oui c’est cool! En plus ils sont presque jumeaux 🙂 Il va falloir se rencontrer un jour pour voir nos chef d’œuvres et prendre une tite frette.
    
    Ce week-end j’installe mes tendons avec ressorts dans les avants-bras. J’ai appris a la dure que la rotation du poignet ne marchait pas sans ceux-ci.
    
    J’ai vu dans ta galerie de photos que tu…[Read more]

      - Stéphan replied 2 years ago
        
        Je crois que je vais passer des fils moi aussi dans les doigts car une fois les tendons installés, ca va etre compliqué.
        J’ai commandé du foam antistatique il y a 2 semaines. Donc j’essaierai d’installer ça quand ca va arriver. Est-il opérationnel ton robot?
        
        Moi je suis a installer (souder) les plaques de connections 16 broches avec cable plat…[Read more]

  a oui je suis sur le point de lui installer des paupieres aussi ……et ma fille de 9 ans aime bien ca lui aprendre des chose ….donc je doit m habituer avec le mode d apprentissage
  - Stéphan replied 2 years ago
    
    C’est le bout qui devient intéressant encore plus de pouvoir lui faire exécuter ses propres commandes et mouvement.

        Je fabrique moi même mes nervoboard. Je suis en fait rendus là. Des que mes bras sont “tendonnés” 😀 et installés je m’y attaquerai cette semaine. J’ai du couper mes ressorts pour mes tendons… Ils étaient trop longs et ça donnait rien comme effet. Le poignet ne tournait pas quand les tendons étaient sous tension.

Hello World, Today is a good day 100% of the head printed and overall 30% of “Jeeves” InMoov is printed. Dry assembly and insertion of Microsoft LifeCam Studio V2 in right eye. Next week starts the challenge of soldering the NervoBoards and assembly while continuing printing the rest of the body.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Gael Langevin replied 4 years, 10 months ago

Hey great progress Michael!
That little stand is handy for working on the head.
🙂
If you have any questions regarding the Nervo Board, just ask…

Dear InMoov world,

A quick update from a chilly Jeeves InMoov, the last snows are melting at my workshop in France.

Like many, my InMoov journey has been a bit stop start, but now both printers are printing as fast as they can so that I can say “Hello world” as soon as possible.

Wherever you are in the world have a good day, a great weekend and…[Read more]

Wow Michael – I love your D6 setup! Looking forward to seeing what you create. Good luck with the build!
- Richard replied 5 years ago
  
  Beautiful workshop, by the way! 😀
  - Michael Hayward replied 5 years ago
    
    Many thanks Richard, much appreciated, much printing to go.

Michael Hayward posted an update 5 years ago

WOW, I just saw that we are 6,001 Members worldwide, another level has been reached.
what great news that the community keeps on growing!

Karthos replied 5 years ago

agreed, can’t wait to see some inmoov meetups, chatting to each other
Gael Langevin replied 5 years ago

🙂
Well, there was a long list of members waiting for approval. Checking them all today made the number of members increase in a short delay.
New members to be approved must have a InMoov picture for their profile picture. (can be anything as long as it’s an InMoov part).
It will save me time when approving members.
Thanks and welcome to all new members!!

Has anyone integrated “Microsoft LifeCam Studio V2” web cam into the eyes?

Doc Johnson replied 5 years ago

Yes, it requires some mods, but it works well. Microphone is not very responsive inside the head, the the video is good.
- Michael Hayward replied 5 years ago
  
  Hi Doc Johnson, that is great news, many thanks.
  I have found a couple of sites where they show you how to strip down the camera to remove the case etc. do you have any guidance on the mods that would be required? or even (pushing my luck) some pictures?
Doc Johnson replied 5 years ago

You have great timing; I was just getting ready to install my EZB Camera in the other eye, so I had the assy apart. I took some photos; keep in mind, I just did this as a quick and easy setup; if you think about it, you can do a much cleaner job than I did. Photos are in my album area
- Michael Hayward replied 5 years ago
  
  Hi Doc Johnson, very much appreciated, I know what to do now. Many thanks
  - Doc Johnson replied 5 years ago
    
    Always glad to assist. Have a great Day!

Is anyone from the InMoov community going to the London Science Museum saturday 24th June? I am attending the \”Talk: How to make a robot + private tour of Robots exhibition\” starts at 8:30 to 14:00

Steve Rayner replied 6 years, 9 months ago

I went a few weeks back, it was really good. Did you have a good time?

Michael Hayward posted an update 7 years, 6 months ago

Lol part of the preparation was making sure, I was sufficiently motivated to continue to the end, then the construction of a little workshop in the garden for building InMoov and buying equipment etc.

Marten de Groot replied 7 years, 6 months ago

I think you mean: InMoov gets his own house in the garden ? 🙂

Enjoy your InMoov build!
- Michael Hayward replied 7 years, 6 months ago
  
  He does, thank you, and his own exclusive 3d printer.
  I will have to learn to be patient! 3d printing is slow!
  - Gael Langevin replied 7 years, 6 months ago
    
    Oh man this will be the first InMoov to have his own house!!
    Great!!

Michael Hayward posted an update 7 years, 6 months ago

After month’s of preparation, the first print, 24th September 2016 what a great day!

Gael Langevin replied 7 years, 6 months ago

Hello Michael! A finger in the Wanhao! That’s for sure it’s at least a month of preparation.
What will you do next month?
Just kidding, hey!
Thanks for sharing your enthousiasm.
