Re: Build a robot gripper with force feedback

Sorry for being such a flake guys. I've been busy as all hell lately and didn't want to just upload the sloppy code I had for this app, so I needed to clean it up a bit. Anyways, here ya go:

http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/do...do=file&id=111

It's not the best code in the world, but it gives everyone a decent understanding on how I went about doing it.

NOTE: There are much better ways of solving this problem and I wrote this code well over a year ago, so please be gentle with your comments

Re: Build a robot gripper with force feedback

thanks ALEX ,your design will be a big start for my project,i will be using a different controller and a-d converter,but something good to play with,since i have phidgets 4 servo controller and many fsr's only need to buy a phidgets 8/8/8 board

I know it isn't much, but I hope it'll help get you started at the very least
