@DJ There have been lots of discussion (especially lately) about Dynamixel smart servos and now you have released a new plugin for support of KRS ICS smart servos too... I was just wondering if EZ Robot has considered or is considering your own brand of smart servo? I mean nothing would be more compatible with the ez robot platform than your own "in house" products, right?
Anyway I currently use a lot of the standard ez robot servos in my projects and find them pretty decent. However, I would have jumped a long time ago to smart servos if the cost wasn't so prohibitive... Saying that I would be more than willing to pay for "smart" ez robot servos especially since I know integration and compatibility would be complete... I know supporting 3d party products can sometimes be a pain for ez robot so I thought "hey if you can't beat 'em, join 'em"...
I do understand that maybe only us DIY guys would be more interested in smart ez robot servos, but could you imagine JD with them?
@DJ... Blame the iOtiny.... has a mind of it's own you know....
nice!
neat one please!
does it move ? if you have a video
@ptp... yes it moves quite well LOL... I am just finalizing the gripper design so it doesn't spill drinks over everybody... I have only just begun to program the arm... You would not believe (even with the auto positioner) how difficult it is to create dynamic and accurate movements... When I get the other arm built I will do a demo video.... It will give me time to really program something really interesting... Anyway, Sue is itching to act in one of my videos again... stay tuned...
Here's an introduction to the new ez-robot servos. They're named HDD for Heavy Duty Digital. The servos come with perfect 90 degree alignment and therefore do not require servo calibration for revolution robots' U brackets. The servos also make absolutely no noise that a human can hear when holding position (except for dogs and animals). The servos also have a current and temperature limit which prevents them from being damaged and burning out. The servo will release if the tolerance is exceeded. The servos also use less current at stall, which means longer battery life. The servos are significantly faster. The servos are quieter during operation while moving. The servos do not generate much heat at all.
They begin shipping with all revolution robots in February 2017. So, you'll never have to see any servo issues on the forum starting next month
. The current ez-robot servo (HD) is being discontinued and replaced with this new version (HDD)
Those look great. Will definitely be ordering a few.

You had me at no "buzz"
Fantastic! I need 20 to start... Any idea of the price (like that matters... pfffft)?
Price won't be changing AFAIK. They will be a direct replacement for the current HD servos.
@DJ ... This is really great... One of my worries was wondering how to keep my gripper servos from burning out (as they have to hold a full wine glass or beer).... Talk about timing the new HDD solves this problem...
