Maybe A Dumb Question - Make Bigger Jd

So even though I barely even began, I have plans for this little guy and wondered whether instead of the leg extensions, one could add one more servo to each leg and arm and make JD a bit bigger with more articulation. Is the EVB4 capable of adding four more servos to control walking or is this a thoroughly stupid Idea using too much of the evb...

Auto-Download Feature

JD, First, thank you for your previous help with plugins. I have already made a few to help teach some of the introductory CTS courses. Getting to the point, I believe I have discovered an error in the plugin manager service. The error occurs when the user opens the project file directly (not through the program executive), and they do not have the...

February 2016-Best 3D Printers?

Hey guys. As you know, I'm a wiz with cardboard structures, but those aren't really the best. I started to look into 3D printers, but with the huge number out there I wanted to see the opinions of those whom may have already gotten and used their printers for a while. I continue to fall back on the da vinci 1.0 or 1.0 pro but shipping to Canada...

Non Existent Customer Support For A Newbie

Although my issue of the 300mv imbalanced battery issue is not a new topic, it happened to me after the first use only and there seems to be no customer service email link to address what is likely a defective battery or unit. I have followed all the recommendations but the charger keeps blinking 6 times red with one second pause. I only used the...
