Nice video @ozzytrooper

And single headers you can break them easy by hand.
Double or more rows, you will need some tools to cut them.
For the 14-pin flat-cable connector, I’m using a small vice.
Most people will have this or something look like this.

Hello Steve,

There is a difference between PMW which is used to control a dc motor speed (H-bridge), or a PWM used for servo’s.

The PWM for controlling the speed for a dc motor, or intensity for a LED, is at some pins hardware-based (internal circuit/timer, to sending a PWM with a fixt frequency in the background.)
These pins are the pins where…[Read more]

They are always available, you can order them in Back-Order.
Gaël isn’t always at home because of many events

Just please your order and Gaël will sent them when he’s back.

Thanks Rick!
All input is welcome

I hope soon to add some more info.

Hi Steve,
You need to mound the Rob Rings under the servo-pulley !
So it looks like this:

Hi Juerg,

The servo is mounted with two screws to the blue part.
the blue part has the option to slide in the light grey part.
Here you will see both parts separated:

Hi Ashley,

Welcome to the InMoovers

MRL is (in my eye’s) much stronger/faster then Arduino IDE/Boards itself.
It’s running at a faster system then a single Aduino board, so there are much more options possible.
And the InMoov is a default Robot in MRL which is cool and more easy for beginners.
There are some Python script made by other…[Read more]

First servo slider test run:

tomorrow I hope to add the (to big) FSR sensor and see what it will do
(I\’m still waiting for the smaller FSR\’s)

BTW, the setup will be the same like this:

Great and Nice work MindLess.
Thanks for sharing your experience with all InMoovers

Hi Humanoid,

Can you measure for me the open value and the closed value from the sensor ?
If I now these value\’s, I can choice a SIP resistor value

Thanks in advance…

Regards,

You need to order two SIP resistor_network they look like this:

The NervoBoard has the option to solder one at the sensor side.
You need a 8-pin version (with seven resistors).

Looks awesome Perry !
It\’s a nice option to use the default servo\’s

And are you happy with the mechanical results ?
For you it\’s better to see and feel the results instead of the default setup

CollorFabb PLA is good material anyway.
XT can handle a higher temp when it\’s printed, this part is a positive thing if InMoof stays for a long day in sunlight.
So maybe I will use XT for some outside parts and all others with PLA

Thanks for your information.
I get lucky to live in the Netherlands, the shipping costs are free when I order one spool.
And with the 2.2kg spools it’s 30% less in price.

I’m sure I need to play with some settings (temps and max speed).
I hope to start this evening with some tests

I’ve used CollorFabb PLA for some time now and this prints…[Read more]

Hi Perry,

It\’s nice to see your idea about this.
I think I will see your complete setup tomorrow, I hope it works well and I can\’t wait to see a video !

Keep up the good work

Haha If the time is there, it can be go fast

How about you, any progress with your \”Right\” hand ?

All new files are uploaded: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1824042

Thanks Perry,
To share your info about that !

Almost done with all the parts.
Only missing the small Wrist gear.

The shaft and servo adapter feels good enough for me.
I hope the length from the shaft is OK
If yes, I will upload all parts to Thingiverse in 30 minutes

Hi Rodolfo and Perry,

@linuxrodo
Yeh, I think it\’s fine
Just started to print all the parts.

@perry-scartozzi
I can\’t wait to see your idea
Which program(s) are you using, during re-editing Gaël\’s STL files ?

Thanks Rodolfo and Gaël !

@linuxrodo
I hope you get your \”hands on the Right hand !\”

And Gaël,
Thanks for sharing !

This looks much better

It\’s so sad to see Zena lying on the floor

And it\’s a pleasure, that I (and of course all other people all around here and @ MRL) can help other InMoovers like you

Regards,
Marten

So, the files are on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1824042

Thanks Anthony !

I hope to upload all the STL\’s tomorrow.
Tomorrow I will receive my ordered DogBone shaft which is 108mm instead of 89mm

BTW, for the Thump I will make a other pulley.
The one which I\’m using now are a bit to big
All other fingers are fine enough.

Hi Gaël,

I’m happy with this update, it helps a lot to run all the fishing lines more freely !
If the small servo’s are still a life after a stress test…
There is more space left for other functions.
For the stress test I need to make a nice script or better just use a simple Ardiuno random sketch.
So I don’t need a laptop to be on all the…[Read more]

Thanks Rodolfo !
And all are still running with MRL

I think after this weekend I will upload all files, which are needed to upgrade the Wrist part and this includes the new ServoBed for the small servo\’s and the Wrist servo.
I can\’t see that these smaller servo\’s can hold it for a longer period
But so far it looks good and including the springs I think it\’s safe enough to use them!

Hi Perry,
Yes for sure I will include the springs which I\’m using with my Finger_Starter kit.
This makes programming a closed position more easy and they are to safe the servo mechanical way

Check my last post, to see the full functional Arm/Hand/Fingers:

I’ve connect all fishing lines to the fingers and the servo’s.All runs more freely and looks OK for me, here the test video with a complete Arm/Hand/Fingers:https://youtu.be/8xlMrEUZBTw[Read more]– Marten de Groot (@mdg_nl) October 7, 2016

Thanks Perry,

A printable shaft would be cool, I only think it’s not strong enough !
And DogBone shafts are very basic parts which are used in RC cars.
Most local dealers will selling them.

About the servo, in the first test video I was using a “Low Profile” servo.
For some reason, these servo’s will not run with a Arduino !
For this reason…[Read more]

Thanks Rodolfo,
Here a video from this complete setup:

Tomorrow I will start to connect all the finger fishing-lines to the servo-pulley\’s

It looks good so far

\”Looks\” nice and Cool Ivan !
Sort of camera shutter

Yes
But, I still need to update some things.
Like the sevobed, so I can mount the Wrist servo on it.
And still some fine-tuning between the servo and the small gear.

I hope to finish this tomorrow.

Here the short video:

Hello Perry, this is what happen with my new setup.
The servo is placed on the finger servobed and with a axle connected to the Wrist gears.
I\’ve a test setup ready now, so I will upload a video in a short time !

Thanks Gaël, to put them to the InMoov collection.

Tomorrow and the next two day’s I have some spare time during the day
First I need to finish my Wrist update, this will help a lot to run more freely !
Yesterday evening/night I’ve printed the first parts and one needs a small modification to fit better.
When this fits well, I can draw the servo part…

I will do my best, to show a moving…[Read more]

Haha, my fingers are crossed

The Wrist servo is blocking the complete way for all fishing-lines.
With the servo placed on the servobed, it makes it full open.
So this saves a lot of friction

(printer is almost done with the last peace )

Hahah, very cool!
A InMoov bartender

I\’m sure you will like the spring, if you hold or take a glass of wine !
I think the spring has enough pulling power and is more soft

Have you some pictures from your InMoov ?
Always cool to see other InMoovers growing up

And a MG995 must do the job

Thanks Richard,
Mechanical way it looks good enough for me.
These pulley\’s will need the full 180 degrees from a servo !
Make sure your servo\’s supporting this 180 degree turn.

My next step is to see, if the smaller servo\’s are strong enough for the complete InMoov Hand !
I hope to find some spare-time tomorrow, during my work…

Thanks Perry,
You can download the pulley\’s here:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1794206

Indeed, very cool design!
Thanks for sharing

Hi Richard,
I’m almost sure these smaller servo’s are strong enough for the Hand.
(don’t forget the special pulley which I’m using!)
The spring which I’m using now, is perfect to start.
If needed, I can use a stronger spring to get more torque.
I hope to show the results this weekend
My goal is minimum to hold a softball or a bottle of…[Read more]

Thanks Rodolfo,

Yesterday I’ve changed the servo-adapter to V2 !
http://www.thingiverse.com/download:2803246
These are easier to mount to the CS238MG servo.

I will install the new servo’s tomorrow in my Right hand…
So hopefully this weekend I can make a good video with all the results.
And I will make a Step by Step “How To”.

If you…[Read more]

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

Enjoy your InMoov build!

Hi Gaël,

For a 0 to 90 degree turn, I need to make them a bit bigger !
These are now designed for 0 to 180 degrees.
(please check your dropbox ! )

After some tests, I will upload them to Thingiverse.

Thanks Gaël

Hahaha, yes I\’m still using the same Carbon Finger.
I didn\’t print more Carbon Fingers yet…

Hi Juerg,

I hope to save some weights with the new servo\’s.
They have three times less weight then the servo\’s which I\’m using now.
And the servobed will be smaller.

About the printing parts.
I\’ve done one finger with Carbon fill and is very lite.
I\’m only not sure enough, if this is strong enough !

Hello Jaideep,

Please read this post from @juerg

An error in a script and an unreachable neck position – just burned another HS805BB so badly, it burned a hole into the case and I can still smell the odor of death when entering the house.I have added now readjustable fuses for all of my large servos (PFRA 160, Reichelt.de).Hope this prevents future smoke!- juerg (@juerg) July 24, 2016

Give it a try and see if this will solve your problem.

@juerg
Which servo’s are you using in combination together, which gives you this “Jitter” problem ?
Do you have a oscilloscope ?
If yes, could you make and share some screenshots, when you…[Read more]

Hi Gaël,

Thanks and yes, when all is running fine together…. I will share a \”little\” video
I think this will happen, when I get the new servo\’s because of the fit to the pulley\’s.
I hope to get them next Tuesday.

There are not many in or around India.
See here:
InMoov World Map
https://goo.gl/maps/G9jcZJjDciB2

Hmm, it sounds there is something else happen with your servo connection.
If there is a shortcut between the Arduino shield and the small PCB, the flat-cable will start getting hot !
Please double check if there is no connection between servo outputs 10 and 11.

If possible could you send me some pictures from your boards?

Hi Gaël,

The spring main function is to safe the servo mechanical (there is no direct blocking anymore).
And including my servo pulley’s, the finger “close position” gets a smaller arm length !
So this safes a lot of energy use from the servo, when the finger is in his “close position”
I’m almost sure this spring setup is enough to…[Read more]

Thanks Gaël and yes it was \”a lot of fun\”

It\’s running fast to

I\’m sure, Robyn will enjoy this new tool to.
Thanks for sharing this driving system for InMoov.

I will wait for this camera: https://openmv.io/
Leon has ordered them via kickstarter
This has the same results and is smaller !
I hope the price is the same like the Pixy cam.

The Pixy already used a 4-layer PCB, so it would be a hard work to make this smaller
Option is to ask for a sort camera-shield mount option.

OOOhhhh Yes,

This is very good news Gael
I will soon start printing the head, so your update is just on time

This week I will receive my new _XT filament from ColorFabb.
I hope it’s a good filament to use for most InMoov parts, even for the shoulder mechanical parts.

Other question about the camera, are you still happy with your…[Read more]

Hello Jacob,

You need a kinect from a xbox 360.

I don\’t now if MyRobotLab works fine with a BeagleOne.
All questions can be ask here:

Looks good Anthony, I think only you need to start the fans from a higher layer !
I see a lot of warping at the bottom side, this happens when the PLA is cooling down to fast.
The best way is to start slowly with the fan speed around layer 30 (3mm if you are using 0.1mm layer)

Hello Anthony,

226° is a high temp, the UM2 has a lower temp as the display is showing.
And with this temp I get good results
Sometimes I set the temp a bit lower, after the first 10 layers.

Do you have a picture from your end results ?
If yes, it good be handy to give a better advice where it go’s wrong.

I checked the K8400 and see…[Read more]

Hi Mats,

I\’ve seen the video and the results are perfect !
The option was more meant to update the Pulley\’s for other InMoov builders, how like to use your Pulley\’s, so they haven\’t to cut anything

(sorry, there is no option to upload a picture directly in a commend)
As you can see at the drawing, there is a normal sized part (left side) and a smaller sized part (right side).
For the smaller side (with a oval form) you have to play to get the correct length you need.

Hello Anthony,

I hope this will give the option to monitor each finger.
As you can see, the value isn’t straight (it’s now a pulsed signal) because of the 50HZ servo position update/feedback timing.

Hello Wouter and Jan,

Welcome to this InMoov Community

I hope your idea will work without any problems.
I’m a little bit afraid about this, because InMoov is hard Fixt to the Oxboard.
This makes it more complex to find a good (mechanical) solution, to control the Oxboard.
I hope there is a option to get in contact with the makers from the…[Read more]

Cool and sure, MRL deserved it to get placed at the shoulders from InMoov.

Thanks Gael !

Haha, I can\’t wait…
I\’m printing the last day\’s at Day and Night…
I hope the forearm is ready in about two day\’s.

Next day\’s I will check all the lengths which each finger needs to lift them completely with the new servo pulley.
So I can start re-designing the pulley for each finger.

Hi Gael,

Just checked the hight and it fits fine.

@ Bob Houston,

This looks awesome dude, great work and a cool upgrade to the InMoov !

I can\’t wait to see some more video\’s with the Eye tracking options

Hi Michael,

The minimum is 12 x 12 x 12 cm
See here for all the info when you like to start with InMoov:

Build yours

Thanks Gael,

And good to now about the limited thickness.
I will check this when all underarm parts are done.
There is a easy way to save some hight if needed, I can include some holes for the two screws.

Hi Gael and thanks for your comment and time

The elastic cord is a basic peace which you normally will use for clothes.
It’s now just to do the job of the spring.
I’ve ordered some springs and have to wait they will be here.

Hi Juerg,

Thanks for your input about this.

The good thing to use a 180 degrees pully, is that there is less change to break any mechanical parts.
A other good thing is, there is a higher resolution to place/hold the finger at his position.
Have you seen my Finger Starter video ?

I\’m sure it will be a EyeCatcher !

I hope to print the head after my Finger Sensor project… and will use your EyeCatchers

Hi Gaël,

Thanks for sharing your code to.

The best way to use this sort sensor, is to include a servo slow (step-based movement) which I have included in my code.

Haha, yes the video is good for all the joint parts.

I was more focused how to glue all fingerparts together like part-1 with part-2 etc….
CarbonFil is PET based and PET is difficult to glue normally.
I hope the 30% of carbon-mix will make it easier to glue this together.

Hey Gael,

The CarbonFil is more PET based !
And yes, it’s nice material to use but it needs some attentions for the first layer.
