Initial test of my InMoov robot running on the new EZBv4. I have 24 servos connected to one v4 and all are running OK.
Thanks for everyone's help to get it up and running.

Dear EZ-Robot Friends, here my new Halloween EZ-Robot: Annabell! I hope you like it!

Just got my EZ-B today, and I hit the ground running:) This is my robophilo robot. Hes the cheapest 20 DOF robot on the...
I was just looking at the MakerBot website... Question, is the Makerbot mini too small to effectively produce something like the inmoov project? I would have no issues with the mechanics, electronics and programing once I have the parts. Where I don't have the experience is in 3d printing...
Richard,
No it is not too small. I am using Maker Bot Replicator 2 and I think Gael made the parts so you could use a little smaller printer.
Do not try to place too make too many parts at one time. I was getting warping. Also use default settings.
I use PLA Plastic but I believe some have used ABS with better gear results due to a small amount of shrinkage and it makes the gears fit better. I know the PLA is very tough.... but I really do not know what plastic is best. I believe Gael used ABS.
@jackphillips1953 that is a serious funky robot thanks for sharing Pat
@jackphillips1953 Thanks... I can't believe I am actually considering it....
As a person that has lost the ability to do ANY of the actions that the robot does due to ALS, this is the future for people like me. I doubt that affordable robotics will be a reality in my lifetime since I am in the 1% group that has outlived the 2-5 year lifespan, 13 years 5 months and counting! I am trying to find a way to get a kinova rehab robotic arm that attaches to the wheelchair and controlled with the chair's joystick. At the $50,000 asking price, I don't see it happening. You can see it in action, simply amazing. The upper torso would be my choice, if I could choose which half to be able to use again.
Awesome project man.. robot moves so life like.
and @stelmobarry thanks so much for sharing. Maybe the community here can start a project , maybe even a joint kick starter to build this thing so people can afford it.
@stelmobarry. Thanks for putting things in perspective, while we sit around playing with our toy robots there are people, like yourself, out there who could really use a robot. Whether it be a robotic arm or hand, I see that as being the immediate future of robotics. I know that Gael, the inventor of InMoov, is working on a robotic hand prosthetic. The robotic arm in your video, is very impressive but at a $50,000 price tag, not many people will benefit from it. There is a few 3D printed arms out there that could be easily built and controlled by EZ - Robot , for example there is this one - http://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Robot-Arm/
If this community is looking for a project, this would be be a noble one. @stelmobarry, please email me at - [email protected].
@bhouston.... When you modified the HS-805BBs to remove the pot. Did you use the same pot from the servo in order to report positioning of the joints or did you use a different one?
I am looking at this project closely now and seriously looking at the makerbot mini as my first 3d printer...
I seem to be going down a path that I know I can't return from... LOL
Thanks Richard
