Hey there Jer, so I did order 3 of those high powered 3 watt L.E.D.'s and the mini driver boards. Super bright white 2 of them and 1 multicolor for the effects on the Cylon Fore arm chrome armor, the 2 white ones will be used for gun flashes when the 2 guns pop out of the wrists. Hope they will be bright enough to see outside when it's sunny out. Thanks for the info on that last hack session, My Christmas present to me! ---- My last entry for 2019 before I go on Holliday to visit Friends and Family for Christmas, Let Synthiam the robot revolution continue...

Wouldn't it make more sense to use steppers and planetary gear for internals of the servo?  Then make a scaled up default case with H-Bridge to hold it all.  If you got the servo down, JD would be easy to scale up.  Anyway fun project. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion @flatwoodsdad

The idea was to keep the design as much like the regular scale JD as possible, to be able to use the standard JD ARC project. Unfortunately, using H-bridges + steppers wouldn’t allow us to use the auto-position control. The customer is not familiar with solutions outside of normal servo auto-position control.

How did the 6 foot JD go in Florida? Any pictures?

wow

so many questions

what servos?

power?

any videos?

WOW.  That's so cool.  Hope you realize how lucky you are to work someplace that lets you do such stuff.  Please share any video of him in motion.  Time to hit DARPA up for a billion dollar grant.

i was wondering why there where no live hacks.:)gently giant robot jd.very nice work. is that martha in the first pic with jeremie , if i may ask ?
