Inmoov Robot, How With Ez-B Robot Controller., ?

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Hello Ezrobot Community, All,

I'm wanting to test InMoov Robot using EzRobot but very unsure of what parts I need to get in the shop, are you able to assist please?

  1. Do I get the whole EZ-B development kit? or just the wifi robot controller is enough? but then I already have a 6V output battery pack, will this be sufficient to power up the EZ-B robot controller and the 5V servos (which I currently use..)? or I need to get the battery in the shop?

  2. Do I need the inline 5V regulator? (my servos runs at 5 volts)

  3. If I can use my 6V output battery pack, do I need to get the alternate power adapter? (from the shop)

I just want to do basic test in controlling my servos with EZ-B.., testing min and max turning angles of the motors,

Thank you for your assist,

Kind Regards, Roger

Hi Rodger, I'm just starting my switch-over to EZ from MRL. In my case, I just purchased the EZBv4 controller as I already had most of the servos that I needed and a camera. If you can use the other parts in the kit, it's a good deal. As for the battery pack, as long as it can provide enough amps for you servos it should be fine, but you should use a 5v regulator if that is the max voltage for your servos. Good luck with your build!

You can start off with the EZ controller and the camera. You can get by a long time with those then add to it later. Get an extra power adapter. You can run your 5V servos with any power source. Sounds like you will have to convert down from your battery.

Get a bunch of servo extension leads as well. Got mine from Amazon in bulk.

Hello:)

Thank you for your help, ok I have ordered the EZ controller + camera pack,

  1. https://synthiam.com/Shop/AccessoriesDetails.aspx?productNumber=9 (is this the power adapter you are talking about?)

  2. I use the https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-6V-Power-Supply-300W-6V-50A-Switching-Power-Supply-WITH-CE/173071100075?hash=item284bd768ab:g:dJ4AAOxyXHpSTJZ- battery suggested from Gael in his website. , when you mentioned "convert down from battery), does that mean I need to get the "Inline 5V regulator" as well for the InMoov servos?

Thank you for help,

Kind Regards, Roger

Hi Roger,

  1. Yes, one of those should come with your EZB/camera. I bought 2 more when I added other controllers.
  2. You say that you have 5V servos and that is a 6V power supply so you will have to drop that voltage somehow. You will need to get a converter that can handle that amperage. Or get a 5V power supply. The EZR will run on either. I would not get a bunch of inline converters due to cost.

Roger,

What 5v Servos are you using? most servos have a working tolerance of +/- a couple of volts so 6v battery may be OK?

Have you looked up the Spec of your Servos?

Hi Perry, Cem,

Thank you for your help to my questions, really appreciated, I'm still beginner on this and learning as I go, your reply is very helpful. Also very agree on the inline regulators are costly,

Hi Cem, All,

The common servos I'm using is following Gael's hardware + bom page, You got the point, I checked their voltage as below:

  1. HK15298B , HK15298 - Voltage: 4.8v~7.4v
  2. HS805BB - Voltage: 4.8v~6v
  3. PDI-HV2060MG jx - Voltage: 6~7.4V
  4. Towerpro SG91 - voltage: 4.8v (only runs at this voltage, a small servo for the eyes)

Is my 6v power supply going to be ok to run these?

I'm worried about the small SG91 servo, since it only runs at 4.8v, so does that also mean I must get a 5V power supply as well in this case?

Thank you very much,

Kind Regards, Roger

I run all my servos and the small eye servos @ 6v with no problems.

I'm sorry, I done a typo,

For the eye servos, I use:

Model: DS929HV Operating Voltage: 6.0V / 7.4V

Hi 3dPrinterGuy,

So you run all the servos (suggested in Gael's hardware + bom page) with no issues @6V)? is that what you mean?

Thank you!

Kind Regards, Roger
