"You're also going to discover some parts will need a bit of sanding to fit well..."
I hear that. I made the forearm parts with raft. That creates a lot of sanding in itself.
I'll keep in mind what you're saying about gearing and print quality. Honestly, using the club printer which is old and worn out, I just assumed that lot's of sanding, gluing and fitting was part of the deal. Maybe not...
Did you mount the arm and play with it alone before starting on the rest of the build, or are you going to build the entire bot and then start programing?
I would really like to duplicate what Gael did with the leap motion controller and the arm. DJ started with Leap motion but I think he said he did not like the sdk. I'm going to try just because it makes such a cool demo.
Sorry to repeat, but I'm really excited about the SSC instead of the arduino!
Sorry, did you have a specific question about the SSC-32?.... I was going to use 2 ezbs, but decided (since I had one) to use an SSC for my inmoov... I now have 12 more ports on the ezb free for other sensors (which I have yet to add still)... I assembled as I went, but actually strung my right hand after building the complete right arm... I was having a little trouble getting the fishing line and fingers to work right... Got that sorted out now... Modifying the 805bb servos for the external pot mod was a little challenging at first, but that too eventually worked out....
I wrote test scripts to test basic movements as I assemble each part... I am currently building the lower stomach (with the two 805bbs for rocking side to side movement) ... When I finish that I can begin more advanced programing...
Eventually I'll post a video of my finished inMoov.... I am a little hesitant as it would be very hard to match Bob Houston's work....
I'd like to joint this tread because I start my own Inmoov project to.
Since the last 3 weeks I have receive my Flashforge Dreamer 3 d printer and have spend both PLA and ABS filament (1 kilo each) printing one arm and part of chest.
I am new in 3d printing and very satisfy with the printing profile given by Flashforge
I am using acetone on the bed so the print stick very well on it.
and acetone works very well to glue parts together.
Sugestion: try to joint parts together with 123 design (depending of the bed size) when you print torso part.
they are design to go press fit and they need sanding before you fit them together
The hand in now controlled by EZ-Robot servos and EZB V4 I did hijack from my roli I have receive at same time of my printer.
I have modify and adapt some horn from Thingivers to fit on the servos.
I also intend to use HDMI connector to reduce the amount of wires (6 servos only for the hand) so there will be only one cable going to the chest
when your hand is ready to operate try the small script named Inmoov-right hand-1 on the cloud, Auto Position control is the tool you need to develop gesture.
see some pic showing where i am with this project.
i am presently waiting for the filament delivery to continue with it.
I am trying to figure out how to install this Short range IR sensor in inMoov's wrist so he will be able to sense whether an object is in his hand or not... It would be nice to be able to hand him something and have his hand close automatically without having to tell him to...
No specific question with the SSC-32, not that far yet. First I have to assemble the forearm/hand. Then a break to play with the leap motion sdk and hand. I'm not very optimistic just based on what DJ said about it. So, you'll be done 15 times over before I get the hand done. BTW, will you guys please take back this cold front, our blood doesn't have any antifreeze down here! (Colorado)
@Aerius... Nice.... Are you printing abs directly on your build plate without kapton tape? Just with acetone?
I also adapted my servo horns in the forearm to work similar to guitar tuning pegs... That way it is simple to loosen or tighten the fishing line as required...
@Checksumff LOL... Not so bad here in southern Ontario where I live... Actually Buffalo New York usually gets worse winter weather than we do in Ontario...
If you need help with the ssc-32 , I can set you up with a sample ARC script I wrote...
