And again, thanks for sharing. It is awesome to see you working on improvements for this project. I cant wait to get back to mine.
creepily realistic. Very smooth programing. Are you getting that smooth movement by using the auto-positioner?
Maybe you mentioned it somewhere else but what did you do to modify for quicker movement?
EDIT: nevermind. I followed your link and found out. Nice engineering. I don't know what the original design was like but I like what I see on your mod.
Do you get many trick-or-treaters? If so.... He needs a scary mask!
@Dave S, Yes, the movement was created with just 3 Auto Positions. I use the Auto Position control a lot - it makes creating gestures and movements very EZ! @DJ, We get between 0 and 5 kids every year - I might have him visible and moving around in the shop with some scary lighting, for those that do come over.
I redesigned the Top Stomach so it can lean forward and backwards. It is based on a ball joint and 3 servos. It still needs some work but it works pretty good.
That's brilliant!
What's next, legs?
Very nice Bob. Your 3d design skills always amaze me. Your Inmoov keeps getting more life like.
The old saying, "keeping up with jones" is going put in the poor house, lol.
Wow! That is awesome! Love the innovation. Well done using only three servos as well.
