Hi guys. I have an robonova-1 humanoid robot. 16 servo humanoid.
I was thinking to upgrade the controller for ez-b v4. My question is about the movement animation. If I know well the PIC has the basic movements of jd. And you can call them with the ControlCommand. If I write the move animation in the script language ( Because it is not include the PIC for robonova). Is there any disadvantage compared to write that straight in the microcontroller? ex. speed or etc.
And the other question. Is there any possibility to write the animations in to the EZ-B v4 Wi-Fi Robot Controller? Or I have to use an external mikrocontroller. Thanks.
Hi alejandrocerrano
1. Ez-b Is a robot "brain" (hardware (cortex m3 processor) and software together) Easy to use and learn. You do not really need programming skill. 2. https://synthiam.com/Shop/AccessoriesDetails.aspx?prevCat=101&productNumber=1361 3. I use Ez-b because it makes very easy to use your robot. No need programming skill. But if you know the really basic of c programming then you can make your robot more advanced. On this page on the top headline you will see a menu "learn". There is lots of tutorial. 4. No. I am using the ARC (the software of ez-b) You can download it from here. It is free.
Only disadvantage of ez-b. You need to connect to it by wifi with a computer or mobile phone. But you have to use remote any way for any robot. And you get the power of pc.
I am not using it for so long. Since a week. And I could make my robot move. Even with voice commands.
Very interested in getting one like yours eventually and using ARC to program, like your doing. Stay in touch with us in your attempt to program with ARC. Getting JD from Santa but worked with AIBO ER7 AND ER1 for many years. Just getting back. Thanks for sharing Ron
Thanks a lot for your answers, Oaba! They would be very useful for my work with the Robonova-I ! Cheers! AC
Hi alejandro. Just about Robonova. They use special servos. Hitec HSR-8498HB. I have a topic here synthiam.com/Community/Questions/8656
This servo is not moving 180 degree with standard servo signal only about 120 degree. It Has to be modified to get it work with a standard signal. I will keep you updated at that topic.
Thanks a lot, Oaba...! I have no adequate word to express properly my thank to you, posting your research over the servos, with so great details over the electronic components. You are doing a great work and also having a great generous attitude sharing your findings with us! Please, if you do not mind, keep me updated! Thanks again! AC.
