How would the community like DJ to do a video series on building an InMoov, similar to the Ben Heck show/videos?
Also, wouldn't it be great if they made some of the parts used in the project for sale?
I'm one that's all in and willing to donate to this project...
@69developer I guess you are not aware of the lic agreement surrounding the inMoov project... Perhaps you should head over to Gael's site and read up on the lic... No one can profit from making, selling or using the inMoov in any shape or form....
I won't speak for @DJ, but I thinking he may not have the time with all the other things he has on his plate right now with ez robot....
Maybe another member here can do it instead?
Ok didn't know on the no one can profit. Lesson learned. Can still donate.
But DJ suggested this or at least someone from EZ-Robot did on Twitter and if there is enough request maybe he will do it.
There would be no licensing issues if I made one as a tutorial - we could never sell the pieces. Although it may be in the best interest of the inmoov team to discuss with us about perhaps offering an injected molded version of the parts for mass production. Specifically if we were to work out a great financing deal that puts money into their organization for the hard work. It wouldn't be in ezrobots interest to profit from inmoovs amazing work - all we care is the customers use EZ-B v4/2 Wi-Fi Robot Controller's for their inmoov
I'm going to review the build instructions. It might be fun to build one and document it in video. Worst it'll do is get more inmoovs in the world! And I'd be happy to see that.
@DJ... I didn't say it was a bad idea for you to build one... Besides, your documenting and video abilities would exceed anything that even Gael has done.... I have built 2 now, but I would still enjoy an ez robot style build of inMoov...
I just thought of another benefit... If you did do one I am sure it would bring many current and would be arduino users over to ez robot to see how it is really done...
There's arduino inmoov's? Eak, what do they do? Flash leds? haha
@DJ... yep and arduino is the prevalent choice among inMoov builders... I have checked it out and it is a bit of a big, convoluted rigmarole setup... It all works...(sort of) in the end, but there is a fair learning curve to get setup and working....
Funny thing my video of my inmoov wowed those arduino guys.... For the life of me I didn't know why until afterwards... I was just doing average ezb programming that I thought was pretty run of the mill stuff that the ezb can do without breaking a sweat .... But apparently average ezb stuff = extraordinary never seen before arduino stuff...
Well, we welcome all arduino users!
Alright - i'm going to build an Inmoov in my "spare" time... If there is such a thing these days haha
So first, let's chat servos. What do I use? Where do I get them? I see some are using EZ-Robot Servos, as in this thread: https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/7750
