Since my robot is running on a Raspberry Pi, which is now supported by ARC, I decided to evolve my current project K[8] into a new one called ZOE... First steps will creating a new servo setup which supports Dynamixel Servos,  and a new Conceptual design!!

Good to hear that you like the new head design...took me a while to fit all the electronics!!  But now I am happy that everything is in place and I can move on!!:D

Hey guys, I am experiencing my Pi Zero to be very unstable, it browns out a lot... so I measured the Voltage at the power pins which is 4.98V, and it is hooked up th my 20A Power Supply! But I am using these type of jumper cables...so I am wondering if the diameter might not be enough to provide power to the Pi Zero and the Vision Bonnet?

Actually, now that I took those cables out to measure the Voltage, everything seems to be working fine!! One of those jumper wires that provide power to the Pi, might have gotten loose and cause the Pi to reset... I am keeping my fingers crossed!!:D

A quick update on my progress with the Oculus Quest... I still need to tweak my setup a bit, sometimes the positions are getting a bit messed up. But hopefully I will be able to control ZOE, using the hands and the head tracking!

I am having a lot of fun, lets see what I can get done here...:)

......there you go! that's working out nicely. Love to see Zoe moving in real time to that set up. Do you have that set up yet? Are you running into anything with the arms like gimble lock? Or they behaving correctly?

I guess it might be something like that...I will have to check the BioIk setup, did you keep working with it?

But it should be sorted out soon, so I can move on to live movement!

Those serial bus servos should be working very well for this, but as always...there will be quiet a bit of fine tuning I guess!!

I will keep you posted on my progress!!:)
