hi all
I've created a modified version of the EZ Robot head, featuring both side-to-side and up-and-down (yes) movements. This new design includes an improved base for the head, accommodating three additional HDD servos. There's an option to install two cameras, with the base designed to allow passage for a second camera cable. This setup is ideal for incorporating additional IoT devices or EZBV4, for instance, for LED lighting. Conveniently, there's no need to remove the potentiometer from a servo, as the 1 to 180-degree range provides ample movement. The base height is 7.2 cm.
The pistons are original components from InMoov, and the neck base in EZ Robot is correctly designed.
For moving the side pistons, adhere to these settings:
Programming
Adjusting the side pistons can be a bit complex. Start by calibrating your HDD servos. Then, align the inner piston with the holes in the piston base and secure it with a screw. For the second side piston, align it similarly, then disconnect the IoTiny. This allows you to manually adjust the previous piston to properly position the second one. The original documentation on EZ Robot is extremely helpful in this process.
Parts & Materials
You'll need 3 extra HDD servos and grey PLA filament. The drive shaft parts should be printed with a 35% infill and a gyroid pattern in your slicer for enhanced strength. Other parts can be printed according to your preferences. Additionally, there's an optional neck extension, offering one to three extra vertebrae for more piston movement space. In my experience, the two-vertebrae option works best.

I wouldn’t consider using absolutely anything else after you see what the next ARC version is like
pretty sure we’re gonna blow your minds.
so yah - make that inmoov cause we still need a bit more time. I was hoping for new year but we’re probably a month or two out. Big job is porting all the 700 robot skills to the new software. And new website and etc etc. stay tuned
@dj
wow 700 robot skills . thats enough till am 100 years old .
new website . cool am alreddy in chrismas mood .;)
@Nink I can't share what I'm working on yet
I wish I could!
hi averyone
i hearded this line before but cant remember were .xD steve is not finisched but stil have its own mind . cool
hi averyone
for the base with no side movement . i made a springpiston model . the springloaded base looks same as the one with ,only two servo's less needed .
to keep the pistons in place on the base i use piston cups . the cups lean towarts the upper hollow pistons . spring size 80 mm 1.5 wire thikness medium soft spring .
cup and hollow pistons .

more to come .testing new head frame .
Great work! You're really enjoying remixing the InMoov head! Are you considering making the entire InMoov someday too?
@dj
i have allreddy allot of parts for the compleet inmoove . the full front&back pannels . the neck + pistons .all in copper color . i have some rest now doing less stressfull things .xD i like tinkering stuf .
thank you
