https://www.servocity.com/actobotics-attachment-ideas
I would like some moving mouth or perhaps lights that flash when a sound occurs, any Ideas?
I quit showing robots that looks sort of like a human face, I found out many people do not like that and think it is creepy.
I will make a video today I hope...
EzAng
@nallycat, is that the ERNE4.1 robot head?
Good thought!, thanks
EzAng
I forget to say there is an app for erne4.1 robot head in Synthiam, I have not tried theis app so I am not sure it works but EzAng may want to try it. The files to print are on thingiverse.
EzAng
EzAng
Thanks for all your support RoboHappy, have a great week end.
EzAng
Should be back to city life on Sunday or Monday. I will "start again" with my pursuit of learning robot activities.
Have a great week end,
EzAng
Thats cool. I myself have been a little stalled too. Had to replace the Elbow servo in HEMI's left arm , cause I burned it out when it got stuck against the robots body while programming different Auto Positions. Even had to replace the SSC32, which also as toast from that servo. Expensive weekend it was.
Im still having some control issues with my Sabertooth that I dont like, so I may look at my Roboclaw again just to prove out an issue.
Best of luck with your projects,
EzAng
Well Monday is here, just leaving my country living, heading back to city life
By tonight, I should be thinks about robot activities again - :-)
EzAng
Hard to get too robot activities when there is so many other things to do here.
Have a nice, safe 4th of July.
Be hope to back Sunday afternoon
RoboHappy, hope are your projects going?
EzAng
Back from country / farm life to my city life again, one more time.
Already got my servo City Prowler Robot Kit working with ARC and the EzB-4 controller instead of the IoTiny / battery - Also a H-Bridge PWM motor driver controller
Next I will attach the robot back on to the Prowler Robot Kit for some movement.
Be well all!
EzAng
another unperfected video - I wish I had more time, lol
EzAng
I had the mouth moving = need to work on it in time :-)
not a lot of action on this site lately - must be summer
EzAng
EzAng
The new videos are awesome. The robot looks great and moves nice. Loved watching it place that item on the table.
I plan to fine tune the robot maybe next week - maybe some auto-position moves, voice activation moves, I'll see.
How are your projects coming?
EzAng
I did place 2 micro servos for the mouth this morning, looks a bit better - I will send pics, video when I get back to city life.
EzAng
EzAng
What is the latest with your projects?
Still at the farm, my robot activities end here, many other thing to do. :-)
EzAng
How goes the robot adventures?
I brought my robot to the farm, I will see what I can accomplish here.
All be will,
EzAng
Today is Sunday 7/19/2020
I will be on my way soon, after a few things here, back to my city life - robot activities :-)
Plan to re-do some things on my robot - the metal one above.
EzAng
New pics, video
another video shortly
Robot Mr. Metal
New Robot 7/21/2020
Approximately 3 feet tall
Arc software: using
I am using a Ezb4 controllers, battery, 7.4 V EZrobot 1300 with four Ez 360 HDD servos for the two arms with 4 servo City gear boxes 4 servo City channels for arms.
I am using 2 iotiny controllers / batteries, 2 EZrobot 1300 7.4v for camera and camera servo, 2 RGB lights for eyes and two 996R servos for the 2 servo City grippers.
For movement, a servo City Prowler Robot Kit (wheels) with one of the EzB-4 controller and an H-Bridge PWM motor driver controller.
2 Micro servo Motors for the mouth and a 996R servo for the DF-Robot rotation hex base for the head.
Many servo City plates, screws, nuts, extensions
EzAng
Coffee time !
EzAng
I cam move arms all the way up if I want
Mr. Metal
EzAng - good bye
I think Roman is upset
EzAng lol
EzAng
One more video soon, then back to my country / farm life for a few days.
All be well and safe.
a little hard to hold the iPad and video while controlling ARC - Will try to perfect this next week, see ya!
EzAng
Just for the rekord!!
I have the same issue,lol cant hold the phone and control Hemi at the same time. My video editing skills are nill to begin with,lol
How are your projects coming along?
I have been gone to my country / farm property - just got back to city life.
nice to see some action on this forum again, for a while it has been too quiet.
I see the few of us that are always here, you know who you are, thanks for being there...
Want to thank RoboHappy for help and information for servo city items and thank nallycat for the mouth idea
Thank again to all you robot creators
EzAng
Anyone use this?
EzAng
here an excample off a two micro servo mouth.
very good - more ideas - thanks
EzAng
they become with a few upgrade parts.
oh bot upgrades
haha stop no more projects,thats a good one.
the alan robot is fabulous design,love the voice to an the female one.
here's is oh bot in the sky.
Nallycat, I am still waiting to see your mouth, eyes in a video, by the way, do you have the STL file for them?
I started this tread with "the ultrasonic radar scan" anyone using this? -
good videos here - https://youtu.be/XneX8EIL_qk
https://youtu.be/U_xIYUk4qag
This is the back of the robot with the ultrasonic radar scan facing you
ended up with ohbot, go figure, lol.
Haven't seen DJ around, he must be doing exciting things.
EzAng
Here is my example of the ultrasonic radar scan, distance and collision:
A litter boring, but it is just a sensor, lol
these are just tests
Had it set for 35 in. 45 in. works better - in the minimum distance before turning
EzAng
I will do a few more tests on the pinging - "minimum distance before turning" situation.
I will test nearer and then farther.
Thanks
EzAng
Here are the things I observed:
need correct lighting
minimum distance before turning - noticed it works best starting pinging at 35 in.
tried smaller ranger 10, 12, 20, in. does not work
speed of the wheels - the slower the better
certain colors it can't recognize, example stainless steel, black...others
make sure you use the same D - example D2, or whatever, for the trigger port and the echo port in settings in a 3 wire ultrasonic
Will keep testing later
Thanks
EzAng
for whatever reason, it crashed into certain colors, not avoided them - will test again when I get a chance.
The ultrasonic is not the best - :-) Yes it can be used, not trusted
I will try the Sharp IR Radar later next.
https://synthiam.com/Docs/Skills/Infrared-Distance/Sharp-IR-Radar?id=16103
I will see what happens
EzAng - (Ang = Angelo by way)
The Ultrasonic radar scan is working better, tweaked some settings
EzAng
All seems to be working :-)
EzAng
not that exciting but it accurately following the line :-)
EzAng
that is lookin good.you can adjust two thing that wil make the line tracking better.
first is the speed.the lower the speed the more accurate the bot will follow the line.
second is the angle off the camera.amaging that you are on a bicicle lookin in front off,
your front wheel.the chance you will hit somethin is very big,cause you cant see in the distants.
just like your camera angle,its straight in front .by lift the camera a very little can be a huge diff.
its all about how fast your ezb can calculate the full procces.
How are your projects coming?
I have been busy with my country / farm place, I am getting my solar energy and military generated perfected beside trying to tame the wilderness :-)
My wife and I just came back from a bike ride.
thanks
EzAng
great to hear you have good time.projects goes slow but good.:D
EzAng
its good to ad the words ( new plant ) haha els it would arkwart.lolxD
Today, we planted many things today, wood chips, dirt, plants ...
Maybe back to robot stuff after a shower, need to clear up - lol
I am back trying to get JD to serve :-)
EzAng
EzAng
Thanks
EzAng
How is everyone doing?
EzAng
At the country / farm world
Had my solar system serviced - replaced a solar panel and other things, lots to bush-hog out there, lol "Taming the wilderness" my new book, lol
Should be back to city life after voting Thursday for more robot activities

recovering from being a litter sick = not Covid 19 - should be back to robot adventures by next week.
Maybe the Kinect next again, Microsoft Xbox 360 with the processing program,
I might go over the cognitive emotion, face, vision controls.
there are so many great controls that DJ created - need to speak about them again (or out of sight, out of mind)
everyone be well --
EzAng
get well soon.seeya next week.;)
Feeling better today- about 98%
Looking forward to everyone next project :-)
EzAng.
Hope everyone is ok.
I tried to help on the LED escapade and a few other things :-)
Should be back Monday in full swing, I hope.
Mr. Metal is just staring at me, I hope to redo a few things on him.
What are you guys up too?
Have a great weekend,
EzAng
Here we are Monday 8/24/2020
I have been exploring different controls I never used before like servo recorder, servo pad and servo summary. Seems like it might make smoother moves for the arms. I will try them on my metal robot today.
What are you all up too?
EzAng
workin on my lewanbot.
thanks
EzAng
no walkin gait yet.need for a backpack.
the servo config is similar like darwin mini robot.
I can't find any info on the servo summary control.
EzAng
can you find info when click on the question mark (?).
I guess I will just test myself and figure it out,
Has anyone seem DJ lately?
thanks,
EzAng
servo recorder
no dj here ,he's incognito
We shall push on
EzAng
Also I wrote a script for it just to blink
EzAng
can you post yourre script ?
good work.;)
first script:
You can say anything, I write in a script:
SayEZBWait("Good evening.")
sleep(80)
SayEZBWait("Almost time for dinner.")
sleep(80)
SayEZBWait("Are you hungry?")
sleep(80)
SayEZBWait("What are we having?.")
sleep(80)
SayEZBWait("some thing lite I hope.")
sleep(80)
SayEZBWait("I am still full from lunch.")
The blink:
ServoSpeed(d0, 2)
:loop
# Set LED On
pwm(d0, 100)
# wait some time for the pwm to do its ramping thing
sleep(1000)
#set LED Off
pwm(d0, 0)
# wait some time for the pwm to do its ramping thing
sleep(1000)
goto(loop)
I have opened the PWM, sound servo(PC)and sound servo(EZB) controls.
here is my screen: ignore the scripts on the right
On a Blink on and off
# set the servo speed to 2
ServoSpeed(d0, 2)
:loop
# Set LED On
pwm(d0, 100)
# wait some time for the pwm to do its ramping thing
sleep(3000)
#set LED Off
pwm(d0, 0)
# wait some time for the pwm to do its ramping thing
sleep(3000)
goto(loop)
EzAng
have a go with it.
I used two female to female wires I had to hook up the LED to my IoTiny
EzAng
do you ad a port to soundservo mic or soundservo v4 ?
I use D0, min 1 , max 180

Just finished the "talk servo" with a LED. Flashed , syncs with the words.
https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/Tuttorial-About-Talk-Servo-For-Leds-3290
hope it helped someone.
What are you all up to?
EzAng
I myself am at idle atm. Recently after I tried to demo HEMI for someone, the Sabertooth controller (R/C version) decided to catch fire on me. It really did go up in flames. So I orded a new one, only to have that one short out on me a few minutes after I got it installed and it was working great for me too. Ive since sent it back to Dimension Engineering, only to find out from them that there may be a little issue with the product at their end. Im now awaiting a replacement unit. Meanwhile still awaiting for my 3d printer to be replaced or repaired (thats another story).
Sorry to hear about the fire.
It is good they say "there may be a little issue with the product at their end". Seems like Dimension Engineering will correct the problem.
As far as 3d printing, I have not made it back to explore that situation since I was sick, maybe next week.
Today I hope to do a few things with my metal robot...
Be well my robot friend, have a good day.
EzAng
EzAng
have fun .seeya:)
I did a modified AIML Bot using Roman, a conversational bot.
https://youtu.be/8ahAo274Kag
Also I have been using the QR code encoder.
There are only 4 glyphs to use., that's all.
Here, we can't create other glyphs - I asked the question in April, 2019
https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/how-to-create-more-glyphs-18066
the only glyphs are here:
https://synthiam.com/Docs/Skills/Camera/Camera-Device?id=16120#glyphTracking
Glyphs work like QR codes.
So why not use QR codes? You can make as many as you want.
I did a simple example in July, I made my only QR codes saying - the right way, the wrong way.
view here https://youtu.be/16SUP9afNvI

What are you up to today?
EzAng
How is everyone?
Yesterday, I did QR codes and Glyphs, I guess not that interesting.
quiet today, what are you up to in your robot adventures?
EzAng
Everyone ok?
I try to lean something new each day. I watch older videos here or ez-robot video.
Yesterday I learned about YCbCr tracking - a camera feature. I still like multi color better.
I might try some Mr. Metal stuff.
quiet again today,
any new robot adventures yet?
Have you seen this?
May 2012
Dj Sures’s positive energy
https://synthiam.com/About/News/10330
EzAng
congrats RoboHappy,
I am interested to see your pics or video project advancements. When you get a chance.
I never got try some Mr. Metal stuff, maybe next week.
be well my robot friend,
EzAng
Thursday, Sept, 4, 2020 - I hear a cold front might be coming :-(
Anyway, this morning, figured out tracking again, new code, not so simple any more. All in the tread camera tracking glitch.
Helped in the Bing speech - PandoraBot question
long weekend is coming
Have a great weekend
EzAng
How is everyone?
I brought back Mr. Metal for a while...
I have been help people connect to ARC by simply shutting off their anti- virus first then checking their firewalls...
Last week I helped with AIML bot and Pandora Bot with Bing speech questions:
I don't know what I am going to get into yet, I want to learn something.
Be well all,
EzAng
how about your printing skills?
any pics off what youve printed?
any pointers of instruction?
Also thanks Justin for viewing
Your community post was liked by 'JustinRatliff'.

If you want something to 3d print, I found this...
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3375744
I printed these out for use with on the Actobotics metal parts.
EzAng
I have been playing around with the sound board (PC) and the sound board v4 with the speech recognition control, with the java commands - works well.
what are you all up too?
still have not got to 3d printing - maybe I will dedicate next week to this...
Be well all,
EzAng
EzAng
am doing some fun stuff .gess what it is.xD
EzAng
what does the back look like - the eyes?
center eye a led or camera.there are many upgrades.
EzAng
I think I will make some later today
EzAng
EzAng
i know.but i prefer the camera on top the head.
any idea where these stl are?
back plates of the eyes are missing.
inmoov
found the ez robot cam for inmoove.
are these ez robot servo's?
EzAng
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2479390
The rest of the eye parts and a tutorial on how to assemble them can be found directly on the inmoov website
do you have the rest also? from the eyes.
EzAng
inmoov has a new wib site.
inmoov new web site
here you find the video's how to do.
cool video about the eyes from inmoov.
I ordered again on Amazon the Creality 3D Printer CR-10S Pro V2 with BL Touch Auto-Level, Touch Screen, Large Build Volume 3D Printer 300mmx300mmx400mm with Capricorn PTFE 2019 Newest 95% Pre-Assembled Printer
We will see what happens - starting Monday
EzAng
I am using PETG Filament - what do you use?
any pointers I need to know about?
EzAng
if you using the ubove inmoove files.there are two files modified.
they restrited the jaw movent.here two pics.
first pic is a cut out for the hinges for the jaw to pass.
second pic is redirect the connector for movement jaw up&down.
now the jaw can open alot more.also i made a plate so you can use ,
ez robot HDD servo(s.
Perry said he has the same 3d printer as me, hope he give me some insight of what I am in for.
I am using PETG Filament - what does Perry use? Perry, any pointers I need to know about?
EzAng
am printing the modified jaw for testing.let you know when finisch.
am sure perry and others and me will help;).
here you see the two restritions and why they needed to modified.
the jaw is in contact with the base.
the connection bar is in contact with the collar (ring).
compare these pics with the ubove one.
also make sure the head off the screws are all the way in,
and nothing off the screws may come out in the hole off the gear,
cause some wires go thru there.
maybe someday i build a complete inmoov with the all new design from the web site.
but for now its allreddy big job for me.lol but its fun.
also am doing this to understand why parts are chaped the way they do.
my living space gets over crowded with robots.xD.
if i had more room,i bouth more printers.
and yourre right,it doesn stop.xD
inmoov eye lids
Today is 9/21/2020 Monday:
Before I start my 3d stuff, coffee, and a few other things.
All be well
EzAng
finally got the sound servo workin.
another error i found in the stl is the eye touch the jaw hings.
need to fix that.
how are you?
First day of "fall" here in the USA- Tuesday - 9/22/2020
Had many things to do yesterday here, a few things to do today, maybe I will get to printing today, oh well ---- ever feel "life" gets into the way of what you want to do, lol
We will see what what we will get into today.
EzAng
problem solved jwa contacting the eyes.
waiting for parts.
EzAng
here i modified the main gear for turning the head.
So many things to do here, still never got to concentrate on printing.
EzAng
All be safe!
EzAng
just helped in Speech Synthesis:
check it out
https://synthiam.com/Docs/Skills/Audio/Speech-Synthesis?id=16117
good work.here's a pic from inmoov head sofar.
some progress inmoov head.
half head takes 1 day 14 houres and 44 min to print.:(
EzAng
the head is glue on with locktide.
ezang
and check always that all the fan's are running.
thanks

One of my best robots is my Orion SkyQuest XX14g GoTo Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope
https://www.telescope.com/Orion/Orion-SkyQuest-XX14g-GoTo-Truss-Tube-Dobsonian-Telescope/rc/2160/p/101888.uts?keyword=skyquest%2014
An enormous yet conveniently portable 14" aperture truss-tube Dobsonian telescope equipped with fully motorized GoTo object location and automatic tracking of over 42,000 celestial objects
Colossal 14" aperture reflector optics collect tons of light for wonderfully detailed views of deep space objects such as galaxies, star clusters, and cloudy nebulas,
in addition to bright and detailed views of closer cosmic quarry including the Moon and planets
Orion-designed collapsible GoTo Dobsonian base AND rigid 8-pole truss reflector optical tube both break down into easily manageable components for transport in virtually any car
Closed-loop electronics forgive accidental bumps, nudges, and even manual repositioning without losing alignment of the GoTo system.
Heavy-duty clutches allow independent adjustment of motion to desired level of resistance in both axes.
The XX14g now comes Wi-Fi enabled, which means it can be controlled wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet instead of with the SynScan hand controller.
I can try to work it with ARC one day
EzAng
I like outer space, so may celestial objects to view
So now we both like guitar, astronomy, robot stuff, I wonder what else, lol
:-)
EzAng
Can't believe it is Friday, Oct. 23, 2020, where did the week go? Too many things to do in life, lol
I hoping 3d printing will occur next week,
Be well all
Hope to see you there:
HBRC DJ Sures Presentation https://synthiam.com/About/News/19882
October 28th @ 7:00 Pacific Time - The HomeBrew Robotics Club was resurrected from the original HomeBrew Computer Club. DJ Sures will be presenting Synthiam's robot development platform live on Zoom.
https://synthiam.com/About/News/19882
EzAng
again I want to say, I thank everyone at Synthiam, Ez-robot etc..
In my last 2 years, I learned so much, and I hope more to come :-)
EzAng
On the hand, what kind of gears do you use? or is it just a print?
still printing parts of the head. i notest the files on inmoov sie has 3 versions. V3 OLD VERSION V4 SECOND VERSION AND V5 HEAD.
so its confusing . sofar i have this .
EzAng
i think the servo needs to be continous rotation .to be able the full lengt of the head .
I want to print the hands :-)
or
https://www.3dnatives.com/en/
has a list
EzAng
Sunday 12/6/2020
EzAng
Printing takes so long... but it comes out so nice :-)
Today is Wen. 12/9/2020
Printed the right hand, waiting for screws to come in to assemble.
have to print the pinky again, broke it :-(
Next is the forearm to hold the servos maybe...I'll see, or maybe do something else, have not decited.
EzAng
I just finished the hand
More to come,
NallyCat is right, one piece leads into another piece :-)
EzAng
al together i print some 1100 parts .xD
that is a lot of filament, time, electricity, money -- sound like anyone you may know saying this to you? :-) lol,
i dare not to tell howmany rolls i spilled
what i like is designing and lookin for flaws .
Just got back, seems like a lot of action here
EzAng
what is the come?
stil need alot of practise haha
you said above So I asked, how did it go?
Hi robo rad, I have to print the servo holders yet, I believe it it in the forearm
Right now I have the fingers connected by pieces of a paper clip pieces, lol - probably will try some nylon cords next.
I don't want to drill the finger pieces, the holes to make larger, the PETG may break, so I am trying other options.
EzAng
"so i made it a little bigger and test print tomorow"
i found the error.you have to use this plate to connect all four corners of the head in the middle .
as you can see the plate in the middle ,it goes smaller to the sides .thats why i had some space .
here the part .
SkullTopV1.stl
after januari .thats long waiting then.:(
fingers crossed .
here's the right ear inmoov .
here's another piece of the puzzle .
it goes here . same on the back side . there are two .screw M3
it looks like this then .
I am at the grandkids home, can't do much from here, but I will check in now and then
EzAng
i think 3 pieces is about 11 houres on my printer.maybe your printer is faster.
I don't know how fast I can print
when I get back, I need to print again the pinky for the hand, broke putting the screws into it it :-(
print the normal speed that is original in your slicer .
howmuch infil do you use ? i use some 20 to 30 infill.
Just need more time, :-)
EzAng
Turning into a printing fool , lol
what does the box or rol filament says about temp ?
On the bed temperature, I used 90 on a "glass" bed, sticks well. No problems=, no magigoo or any thing.
EzAng
keep the glas bed always in same direction .i marked mine with a marker.
one on the left and one in front.
My bed has a "auto leveling" feature just before it prints with at least 25 point, basically the whole bed leveling, that works well after I use my auxiliary bed leveling (manually)
Anyway, I should get back today for a quick print :-)

Which model did you get? https://syndaver.com/
I just have a Creality CR-10S Pro v2 - BL-touch auto-leveling included - https://creality3d.shop/products/creality-3d-cr-10s-pro-v2?_pos=3&_sid=95ba61720&_ss=r -- only $616.00
PETG prints strong firm pieces for me - know for it's precision
EzAng
haha only 616 dollar
mine cost 160 euro creality 3
robohappy
i didn try petg eather .
I am not rich, just save up for what I want, only buy once, don't want 2 or 3 of these things, so after research, but the best one I can afford.
PETG is great,
printing tonight
Bed = 90
Nozzle = 240
Speed = 120
I will see what happenes,
EzAng
$2195.00 is a little out reach for me for my 3d projects at this point.
I see my printer is on the recommended printers https://www.3dprintlife.com/staff-picks Creality CR-10S Pro V2 3D Printer
Looks like a precise printer -
Please let me know of your result with this printer, thanks
EzAng
Did you print anything yet?
My new print - PETG
not painted brown or sanded yet
Deer Hook for clothing
EzAng
Love that Deer hook. Bet that took while to print.
Yeah, Since I got the AXI, I have
had to print a couple of work related fixtures for our engineering group, using the PLA, in process of printing some VESA mounts for use on test fixture in our production dept. The AXI has been pretty good so far, and SynDavers tech support has been awesome with questions I've had on its use. Only robot related stuff has been some Actobotic end caps printed via the Monoprice Mini lately.
Thats the 3D bency printing on the AXI, it has some great detail . Did the same on the Monoprice Mini,bi difference on the detail.
i have same boat printed on my monoprize mini .
Will you take a picture of your printer? Like to see it.
Looks like you and Nomad have the same boat, cool stuff...
I guess the 3 of us are the main printers here, lol
EzAng
The SynDaver AXI printer....
Good luck with this great printer.
hefty price tag :-) $2195.00 on their site https://syndaver.com/product/axi-desktop-3d-printer/
What was the features of the printer that made you decide to choose this printer?
EzAng
And 3DPrintlife has been great with support and the handling of the return of the XYZ Super printer I had. Heck, the Syndaver was even packed way better than the xyz printer.
Sounds like a good purchase and a great company, Made In The USA :-)
I use also the Ultimaker Cura 4.8.0 slicer - https://ultimaker.com/learn/ultimaker-cura-4-8-is-here
Well, I guess it is "Printing Time" -
EzAng
i try the cura 4.8.0 and for me it was not working good .alot of warping,
printing in the air . i went back to previous version .
Is there a better slicer then cura?
thats is diff for averyone .for me the previous version great.
its ordenary cutton cord from 2.MM . am still lookin for springs .
EzAng
happy new year . you can play guitar ?
Yes I play Jazz, rock, blues...
very cool you can play.
watch this https://youtu.be/fn3KWM1kuAw
lol
EzAng
its funny but fake .
how is your printing going?
i just finiched the inmoov head on a stand.
The stand is a good idea
EzAng
the rest you can find on my channel.
big head stand.stl
TD nomad
That's ok
EzAng
big head stand.stl
maybe copie&paste ?
the TC is from tinkercad not thingeverse.
roborad hehe
I did a search for TD nomad - I will check
i also searched for TC nomad
I found the base of the stand stand.stl
as what name are you in tinkercad?
I did not do anything yet there
i too dont have nothing yet there. working on the wrist.
closed the gap from servo . and lower the servo .
look for the name nomad or EDP EDP
i post the stl here
here the stl's for the wrist.
wrist block2.stl
wrist block.stl
Did not know you put the stls on here
EzAng
now you know too.xD
i see you folowing the ava v2 robot . you could use the arms from a meccanoid robot to make ava v2 arms.
and the chest .lot less printing .
I see them online https://www.amazon.com/Meccano-20071983-6031222-6035545-Micronoid-Red-Socket/dp/B019HP2ANI/ref=sr_1_27?dchild=1&keywords=meccanoid+robot&qid=1609958239&sr=8-27
there are no stl files from meccanoid that i know of.

changed topic
I might have to change the guitar strings for something else, they may it easy to thread though the hand
I 3d printed a platform for the hand and super glued it on
platform.stl
using ARC and an IoTiny to operate it
Here is where I am at with the hand. Here are 2 pictures
EzAng
starting to look good .
EzAng
try this
ServoTestRahmen.stl
the link servoHolders stl is not dowloadeble ?
try this:
ServoTestRahmen.stl
got it thanks .
servoHolder.stl
get this one below:
This is the one I used, holds 5 micro servos
This works now also - who knows
EzAng
yes i got the file .
thanks
What are you up to in the printing world ?
I have been learning fusion 360
be well
EzAng
i have printed some iotiny plates .
iotiny plate x4.stl
thanks
EzAng
The printed hand looks great. What will you do about the fingertips for hiding those tied string ends?
I already printed the tips however, I did not glue the tips on yet, may change to a better fishing line, I was using nylon guitar strings :-)
what are you up to?
EzAng
what are you up to?
EzAng
Nomad, I printed the IoTiny holders, I needed to drill in each corner a hole for a screw to match the IoTiny's holes.
The original IoTiny holder file had the holes in the wrong place
EzAng
Also did you see my post above, had to drill holes for the IoTiny holders - no problem ....
EzAng
it replace the name inmoov on the chest .
so you are building a "whole" InMoov :)-
rest of the body is next...
EzAng
to lid up the reactor you need this .
LED reactor
I have been playing around with the ESP32 now...
Too many things to do - ARC, fusion 36, 3d printing, esp32, ROS, Linux, python, jazz guitar, telescope, etc...
lol,

thanks for asking .
I have a robot eye does the same thing
https://synthiam.com/Community/Robots/watching-talking-Eye-3d-printed-two-small-servos-20256
He looks left, right, up, down and blinks with audio
Here is a picture of an eye
if you uncheck the transition box .the changing of colors or diff spots goes faster .
your rgb is smart .i play with the rgb also allot .
wonder if I can use just LED ?
I will try later
and use script . the higher the sleep the longer it stays on ad visa versa .

My next project may be animated eyes with an Arduino or Esp32
Check this:
https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-electronic-eyes?view=all
yeach i saw these . they look awesome .
I used the Talk servo V2, audio toolbox for different voices, scripts, LEDs, small servo for mouth, wires, EZB4, controller, ARC, servo city parts for stand, mask, etc...
here is a video - https://youtu.be/wcYgtyJCnvY
by the way, what happened to your inmoov?
what you mean with my email ?
Hi Angelo Bennetti,
Your community post was liked by Nomad 6R.

Just thought I would pass along a replacement for the L298N H bridge
It is the TB6612FNG H-Bridge from Sparkfun
If you have a motor that requires over 13.5 volts then that eliminates the TB6612FNG. However, if your motor is a low-voltage (i.e. 3-volt) device then the L298N is out of the picture.
Although the L298N can handle almost twice the continuous current that the TB6612FNG does, it is about even when it comes to peak current, in fact the TB6612FNG has a slight edge.
But after that the TB6612FNG is the clear winner.
It is much smaller, in fact, most TB6612FNG modules are less than a quarter of the size of L298N modules.
No heatsink, making it even smaller. However, it is a good idea to allow some airflow around the device.
The efficiency is where the TB6612FNG really shines. There really is no contest here, something to strongly consider when building a battery-powered device.
Virtually all of your motor supply voltage will get to the motor when you use the TB6612FNG. The L298N will drop 1.4-volts, as it uses BJTs.
The TB6612FNG has a low-current standby mode that the L298N does not have.
The Arduino Nano 33-IoT board.
This low-cost module features a powerful 32-bit processor, integrated WiFi and Bluetooth, and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), and onboard RTC (Real Time Clock).
