Thanks for the additional info to both of you guys. I know this is going to take me much longer than I had hoped. I took a course in C++ back in 1994 and then have not touched it since. Spent most of...

My spare time for robotics has been very limited the past five years due to maintaining four different plugins for the Moodle LMS and my wife's two very serious health problems. To make things...

As an experiment, I have placed the latest Raspbian OS on my Pi4 and tried to compile the HROS1-Framework. It fails. I fix the errors and it partially works for only one servo, even though multiple...

Hi Kurt, In what little spare time I have, I have started to try and dig through your stuff on github.

I sympathize. Mine has sat untouched for almost five years. If you get the last, hros1-v3-rasbian-jessie-12-09-16.zip, image, and use it on a Pi3, it will compile and work as long as you DO NOT...

Hi MouseKitos,

I realize this is right at 3 years late, but based on my recent trials and tribulations with trying to get a Pi4 to work with an Arbotix Pro, I would venture a guess that your...

I dropped back to test a Pi3 using hros1-v3-rasbian-jessie-12-09-16.zip and everything worked in my test setup except head tracking. That was possibly just due to not having the camera plugged in.

Have you tried to get the HROS1-Framework to compile on your Pi4 yet? I've been trying to for the past few days, but not able to get all the deprecated stuff fixed to work with the latest compiler in...

Hi kshin,
Have you made any progress with this? I have just recently started working again on my HR-SO1 (Joe). Joe is working fine with the original Pi2 but I have been wanting to upgrade to a Pi4....

I've done three Windows 10 upgrades since it came out. My main computer went from 7 to 10 with no problems. I have two, one Intel and one iView, computers-on-a-stick that came with Windows 8.1 and...

I got tired of waiting for my new filament shipment (which actually came about an hour ago) and went ahead and finished printing a V8 Jimmy head in orange yesterday. From the pictures you can see...

While you are trying various mounting options, you might want to see about inverting the Odroid and just using your strap and two 3mm spacers. From looking at mine, that configuration should give you...

Hi KurtEck,
Thanks for the strap. Just finished printing and installing it on my Odroid. Used four left over Hex Socket Head M3x8mm screws and two left over 3mm spacers from the HR-OS1 kit. Using...

Have you tried importing the step file into Fusion 360 so that you don't have to do all the layout work over again? https://github.com/Interbotix/HROS1-3D-Models/tree/master/Assembly_STEP

It took...

Installing on the P3 plate would probably work okay. I think if you did use the Odroid-XU4 in the chest area, either on P2 or P3, it might be a good idea to rotate it 90 degrees to make the access to...

Hi KurtEck,

I'm still feeling miserable due to the shingles, flu, tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis shots I got in the afternoon after the root canal.

If totally switching to an Odroid, my...

@r3n33, here is the current version 8 of the Jimmy head. After the root canal 2 days ago, I have been feeling too poorly to try and convert the extra board mounting holes to a universal mount...

I sympathize we you about learning to use 3D software and I have run into the exact same problem multiple times recently where I couldn't push or pull a surface or edge. I never have used SketchUp...

WOW! Timmy looks great and your modifications - ROS, Chappie head, extra articulations, audio, etc., are fantastic!



I wonder if all that software will work/run okay on an Odroid-XU4? When I...

I think they look pretty good too, for a first actual usable print out of the box, without any fine tuning of your settings.

I don't have to make any bed adjustments at all. My calibration procedure is to setup blue tape, extruder temp, and bed temp, as if I were going to print something. I then manually lower the extruder...

The robertsonics trigger sounds like it would be the perfect item to use in something like an R2D2 type robot, but with 256 tracks available, you could still cover an awful lot of possible...

I can manually enter a Bedprobe offset to the nozzle height, (M212), but what I mean is that there is no mechanical switch that tells the printer when the Z axis is as low as it should go, so I can't...

I wouldn't mind trying to print on glass, but it's not really possible with what I have. All three models of the Printrbot's I have use metal beds and the Z axis end stop sensing is done with a metal...

When you go to the sale page for the Printrbot Plus, there is a link that says, "*For getting started information on your Printrbot Plus, click here." Click that link and there will be a set of...

Sorry guys, that I did not attach these sooner, but I've had some dental surgery recently and have not been feeling like doing much of anything. These two files have had the mounting holes removed...

In the end it always comes down to a roll of the dice. What may work perfectly for one person may be a constant problem and headache for another. Just hope that whatever you buy was not "built on a...

I have no personal experience with any 3D printers, other than the three models currently being sold by Printrbot. In fact, we have one of each here at my house and think all three are great...

I think smaller is better too. I have been planning to go back to the original, smaller version that I started with as with full body armor, hopefully the chest or back plate should hit the ground...

Back in June 2014, when I first built my Printrbot Simple Metal kit, like many people,I had a lot of problems with adhesion of print objects to the bed even when using blue tape cleaned with alcohol....

Hi LloydF,
That shade of black looks pretty good. I still have to print out a front and back cover. I also need to reprint the calf armor. I printed two before I remembered to eliminate the two...

Hi Alex, the Odroid is a rectangle 59mm X 83mm and the holes are in each corner with the center-to-center of mounting holes 52mm and 76mm apart. More details are at...

Wow! that new head base neck combination is looking great. I've been working on basically the same thing today while printing some of the armor. I'm about 90% finished, but I think I'll either modify...

The other night, when our dog kept me from going to sleep for an hour or two, I got to thinking about r3n33's lighted hands, when I suddenly realized that a pair of Adafruit NeoPixel rings right...

I haven't tried a Slic3r generated print. So far the two I've done were with the latest Cura and whatever it has as internal slicer and the support was parallel lines which were very easy to get out...

I forgot to mention this when I saw your post the other day, but I do have a .stl file for the P1 plate that lets you place the pan servo in the chest between the shoulder servos. It will also let...

Well, I think he looks pretty good, even though this is the trial print from yesterday with today's back cover.

The "ear" slots have been changed to a pattern of circles because these...

Hi Alex,
I did a trial print of the head yesterday and I'm printing the back cover right now. r3n33 looked at a copy of the files for me yesterday, and between us we found the need for three...

Yes, I tried the speakers out last night. At the full volume of the TTS module, one speaker in the open was fairly decent. Two was much better. I have provision in the head to mount up to four. We'll...

sonel,
I hope I'm wrong, but I think you'll find that your design does give slightly more tilt up, but not more forward tilt. The limit for tilting up is the rear edge of the two circular disks...
