Hi David, I can see that, after thinking about it a little. But I do get smoother motion then if I command just one move. I do like the idea of altering the ...
The problem there is that Bioloid servos are not low cost, ie £6 or so say $10. Maybe if I get some really good jobs I might treat myself but until then or...
... The digital servos to which I'm referring are the hobby servo digitals. I've only used analog ones, now I'm curious... DLC ... -- Dennis Clark TTT...
Hi Alan Breaking up the move into smaller moves only means each of the smaller moves is done at full torque just the same as the big move. The movements get...
I don't consider it bad the way analog servos degrade when missing pulses, this is a good thing for robotics, probably bad for RC people, but good for...
Hi Dan I'm thinking about your last post and the method of either simulating or lookup re feedback parameters. Yes the Hitec are less stiff than GWS, not sure...
On Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:48:12 -0000, "oric_dan" <oric_dan@...> ... I don't know, to be honest. I know a bunch of people are doing quads/hexes, like this...
I agree, compliance would be the best solution, although complicated. But decelerating shortly before the foot is to contact could help. And making a real...
... Hi Jon. This brings up an interesting question. Bioloid has been around for a couple of years now, and it's a great system that allows a lot of versatility...
... I was thinking a little more about this. The main problem I saw, when trying to get Nico-6 to go at highest velocity, is that the feet were banging into...
Changing the update/refresh is an interesting idea, and a lot easer then radically changing the mechanical parts! I think I'll try incorporating it into my...
... The Bioloid servos are bigger, more powerful, more expensive, and more power hungry. But, they may also be the wave of the future, like lithium batteries,...
... If the velocity per move with several small moves is the same as with one large move, then the acceleration is the same, and nothing has changed. Still get...
Hi Jon! I hadn't known that about Bioloid servos. I've only worked with my "dumb" Futaba and Hi-Tec servos. Aren't the Bioloid servos bigger? Alan KM6VV...
I wasn't thinking so much of using less acceleration/deceleration, but rather just breaking up the moves into small moves. I suppose one could actually change...
Cross posted to HBRobotics That gives ME an idea. I've been considering various new ways we can run our micromouse 'bots in the maze, and as I don't have a...
What everyone else said is correct, but I'll add one more detail: Even if it was possible to make it work, to get a capacity even remotely comparable to what a...
On Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:10:58 -0800, "Alan Marconett" ... Or you could just use a smarter servo. Bioloid servos (AX, DX, and RX series) all have compliance...
Here's something that I posted on FRR, but it might work for a new competition for Robothon albeit on a smaller scale. It could be run just like a pacman...
Going back to David's original comment (I think), then the intent of reducing the refresh rate to the R/C servos is to soften the movements by lowering their...
I've used pretty much all of the servos, they all suffer the same from slow or missing pulses. I hear that the digitals do not, they retain their pulse value...
... Ken, speaking from direct experience .... back in the early days of electronics, when I was a newly minted ham operator, I was using the heavy-duty power...
... Update to this. This morning, I dug out my old servo controller that allows the update period to be set as long as 50-msec, and tested it with a Hitec...
Ken, Power line conditioning is way more difficult than adding caps. The short answer to your question is : No, that won't work. The UPS is pretty much your...
Ken, Attaching a capacitor across the AC mains will only result in a large spark at the plug and a big bang from the capacitor as it explodes when you plug in...
Ken, The caps won't get you through a brown out of any length. Only a UPS will do that. If you wanted to protect the input supply for glitches and surges,...
Hi all, I just joined the group to ask a question about home AC power. I'm fairly electronics ignorant, but good at following instructions and not afraid to...
... LOL. I meant Cyc as in Lenat's CYC, and was basically thrashing the idea of handcoding every factoid and algorithm. ... Hmm, I did this 3 or 4 years ago,...
