Initial test of my InMoov robot running on the new EZBv4. I have 24 servos connected to one v4 and all are running OK.
Thanks for everyone's help to get it up and running.

I removed the pots, they are hanging of the servos now.. I have not used them yet.. I control by software the movement for now.
@Richard R, yes I removed the pot from the servo and installed it according to Gaels instructions in his assembly tutorials. Keep in mind that I built and ran it for awhile with the programming from My Robot Lab. As jackphillips said he is running his without the the pots, so I don't know if it is necessary to remove them if you are using EZRobot software. When I switched over to EZRobot sofeware I used the same settings I had before and everything is working fine. I believe all the parts for InMoov can be printed on a 6" x 6" printer bed so a Mini might work.
@Richard R, I too am using the POTs from Gael's instructions. Because I found when I removed the POTS to get the servo to run continuously , the servos would not stop in the right position to control the servos using EZB. I did find that the newer servos pots have changed from round to square. I had some burnout servos that had the round pots and used them.
I am not sure how jackphillips is controlling his servos because I tried not use the pots and could not get the servos to stop before breaking parts on the inmoov. If you find a way that would be great because for me setting the pots was a pain in the backside for me.
I am using the solidoodle 4 8x8 bed and have had no trouble with the printer. I only had problems getting the prints to stick to the bed.
If you search Inmoovs blog on google I believe you can use a 6x6 bed to print the parts.
Merne, have you used hairspray on the bed before printing? I use suave extreme hold hairspray and prints stick well.
@ d.cochran, yes. That is what I learned reading and trying different products. I sometimes use a little superglue too. Specially on parts that are tall or small. Like printing the finger covers.
@ bhouston , do you mind sharing where you found the lower hip cover and the stand to mount your inmoov?
@merne, I'm not sure what you mean by the "lower hip cover" as for the stand, I made it out of a telescoping light stand and made a plywood base on top of it to mount the robot on.
Late to the compliment party, but really nice work. The movement is super smooth and lifelike. Very nice.
