Successful PAM test!

A project log for Droidbot 07 - Wheeled-Quadruped

An ambitious mobile robot for testing my skills and learning new ones.

My first attempt at crude position control with pneumatic artificial muscles. Yes, there's overshoot and lag etc, but I'm pleased I achieved this with basically just a comparator with some deadband, no PID (yet).

With better mechanical mounts for the PAMs and a different feedback sensor, I should be able to get tighter performance with software. But as a proof of concept; I'm happy! It may be a go for PAMs on DB-T7!

Raw video below because I'm too busy/lazy to make it fancy. Enjoy!
