Gael, Would you provide me the details on what kind of flat cables to buy and what type red/black wire to purchase. For flat ribbons, I need to know the width and number of strands and length of cables. For wire, I need to know what gauge wire to use for electric hookup. I want to make sure I purchase the correct thing. Thanks! Afficher

    Gael,

    I received my nerve board kits. Thanks!

    I see all the connectors are the same size, so does that mean that all the flat ribbon should be the same width, 7 pin?

    Thanks!

      Hello,
      You need some 14 wire ribbon for the connectors.
      What I personnaly do, is buy some 30 wire ribbon and split it manually. It’s cheaper and easier to find on internet.
      10 gauge automotive(black,red) will fit tightly in the XT60 connectors.
      You can get some 12 gauge and will be fine for fitting as well.

    Gael,

    Do the MEGA or UNO boards need shields? Making a connection wire is a great idea.

    I see I should have thought through the Wi-Fi decision a little more.

      The Mega Arduino use the Nervo Board as a shield.
      I tried various headset with noise cancellation, another interesting fact I noticed, is that microphone noise cancellation removes the beginning and the end of the sentence.
      This is okay if you say for example:
      « How do you do today », the « Ho » and « ay » will be removed.

    A few questions:

    1) Do I need to purchase SHEILDS for the Nano, Uno, or the Mega for this installation? I did not see the them listed in BOM.

    2) It appears that the only board that has WI-FI is the Uno Wi-Fi. In checking the Mega, it does not appear to have Wi-Fi capabilities. At this point, I have purchased 2 MEGA, 2 UNO, 2 NANO, 2 UNO…En afficher davantage

      1- If you’re questionning about the dedicated Nano for the NeoPixel ring, I do not add a shield, I just route the wires and solder them to the board. If you want you can make a connection wire for to disasemble.

    I can not find any information about the finger pressure sensors. Could someone help me in the right direction. Where do I buy these or is this a simple coding that tells the fingers what to do after so much pressure is applied? I need some help understanding this.

    1) What is the PIR used for?
    2) Do you buy NeoPixels in strips, singularly, or what?

      Hi Marcia, the PIR to identify if someone is in front of your InMoov, but PIRs canhave different ranges up to 12 meters, depends on your choice if use.
      Same with Kinect or Orbbec Astra (I think I will go with an Orbbec product)
      On NeoPixel it is the ring but be careful on what size to get.
      Good luck
