Awesome pictures! Hopefully someday maker fair will be in my neck of the woods and I’ll be able to go. I like the bottom half of your base I can’t really tell but does it go up and down and do you have any diagrams to share . I’ve been thinking similar like yours but a little different and yours might save a couple of linear actuators .…[Read more]

there is a video about the cart and the description lists the parts I used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGyXo1OYfSQ
Feel free to ask for more details of the mechanical parts.

@mindless, I too have posted a picture with no errors and then thought maybe it did not post and reposted and still not see it. I logged out and still not see my posts, cleared all cookies and started seeing them again? But I’m still not sure way.

Yes Gael has mentioned before that he needs to go through and update the zip files. For now download each file individually, as they are usually the latest ones.

Just sharing my led finger tip sensors. I plan to use an IR sensor in the hand to detect objects.

juerg replied 7 years, 11 months ago

you might have better sources for IR sensors – my own experiments and results are rather poor. Another issue might be integrating the sensors result into the control loop. I think without an optical identification of the part you want to grab you won’t be able to gain much. Another issue is the current joint angels of your finger parts. These…[Read more]

I am trying to find out if many people are using Gael\’s finger tip sensors on their InMoov\’s. Is there really any benefits of having the sensors on the finger tips.
Thanks,

Mindless replied 7 years, 11 months ago

Depends on if your happy with fingers that can move buts that all they can do,,, the sensors allow the fingers to realise when the have touch an object and stop the servos from moving any further,, this allows Inmoov to pick up objects that have different sizes/shapes,,- now this all done with the software,,, so this is where the guys over at…[Read more]

The eyes are nice indeed!

Finger Tip Sensors. Hi Gael, do you have any information on how to connect the sensors and or wiring besides the Assembly hand guild? I am not sure on what control board to uses.

Thank you.
Merne

Gael Langevin replied 9 years, 10 months ago

The sensors are connected to the Nervo shield board. The best is to add some resistances for each sensor connection.

Some countries can not view this video, because Youtube says it is a copy right issue, I own the CD. They keep removing the video.

It is not because you bought the CD, that you can use it as a soundtrack for your video. Which is a delicate combination on your video.
By the way, it is interesting what you did with the EZ leds in the chest.
Nice work!
