Finally we have a schematics for the project! I am preparing an illustrated guide for the assembly of the modules, you will have it available soon!
Keep modular!

It's been I while but finally I've found the time to record a small demo of the 4 modules legged configuration!
Hope you like it:

IR Detection and comunication
07/20/2016 at 19:47 • 0 commentsHello!
I'm working on an infrared system to add the auto-location capacity to the robots. The first test prototype shows that modules can detect each other from about 3 meters apart, and they can detect aproximately where is the other module located. For this "long range" detection, a modulated IR signal is used.
When they are close (30cm), a non modulated detection is used. The receiver looks where is the max intensity of infrared light is and goes there.
This is the test unit.
Hopefully by the end of this month we will have the results!
Thanks

Working on walking configurations
07/04/2016 at 09:34 • 0 commentsHello there! The last few weeks I've been super busy but now I'm officially an engineer! I prepared an experimental test where the robot tries to walk! Video soon...
I'm also working on the auto-recognition and auto-approaching of N modules.:)
And I'm also preparing a simple tutorial with instructions about the assembly of a Dtto v2 module! Thanks!!

Dtto v2.0 amazingly strong!!
05/11/2016 at 23:29 • 0 commentsDtto v2.0 has just born! It's surprisingly strong, these MG92B are awesome!
As you can see on the left module, there is a looooot of space to put there gyroscope, acel, camera... I'm really excited!
^ Happy Dtto Family :)

Dtto v2.0 almost done
05/10/2016 at 23:44 • 0 commentsIt took longer than expected, I've been checking and reprinting all parts to get the exact dimensions needed, experimenting with new mechanisms...
Now I'm finishing the electronics parts, and I realized I don't have any voltage regulator around... so here it's what I have for now
And I'm out of red ABS... :(
