Currently being used in the NOMAD Quadrupedal Robot Project!Actuator Features and Specifications: Custom BLDC 8118 sized 80Kv ratedIntegrated 6:1 single stage planetary reduction for Quasi-Direct Drive(QDD)Continuous/Peak Torque: 25N⋅m / 50N⋅m(short...
A long time ago I made a first HDD clock. This video became very fast "viral" not because of the clock itself but because of the noise this clock made... (Today almost 500k views !) It was a lot of fun but really this clock was totally unusable......
Motivation"The future of drones isn't in the skies. It's in the ocean." This is what Gizmodo said in their article about OpenROV project. And we totally agree. Sometimes it feels like we know more about deep space than about deep sea in our planet. Our...
GOALS AND INITIAL INFORMATION: Principle: keep it simple, keep it quite cheap, Priority: getting it to goal destination Distance ~60 km Max time (draft): 48 hours, Weather: as good as possible (in this case it can be chosen as the timespan should be...
The Power Stage Variations The reason why PowerPACk32 was designed as two different boards was to make it easy to deal with the different topologies. Although a 2 board solution is often undesirable, when experimenting there are a few advantages worth...
Detailed technical description: (ax1 is the base rotation, ax2 the joint just above it, and so on...) For control I use 5X Teensy 3.2 microcontrollers, they are connected together into a single CAN network, (Odrive is also on...
The code for 3 Phase motor control is meant to run on the ATmega32U4 microcontroller, on our open-sourced 3 Phase Driver Board. We're currently testing on the following BLDC motors: Turnigy 480 850kv and Turnigy 480 1320kv, but plan to launch on the...
ROB is the first droid with all Mac hardware. Using only Apple sdk's and api's I am able to create magic between components. Thanks to the new networking.framework, I am able to auto connect with bonjour services between my droid, the controllers, and...
Youtube channel with short videos Application project of motor driverWorks with my RS485 controller Specs: M2 mounting holes on a 32mm diameter circle27mm x 27mm x 0.8mm, 4-layer, 1oz copper PCB7-15V input, built-in voltage sensingInternal temperature...
My goal is to make rc car autonomous racesVideos of the project development :Part 1 : Developping my own ESC. It's based on an Atmega328P (same as Arduino UNO) and has the following characteristics : - Works with BLDC motor with or without hall sensors-...
Story I will describe my second project, the "Self Balancing Robot, " which I mentioned during the construction of the "RC Car - LEGO Powered by Raspberry Pi CM4 with SaraKIT" I will begin similarly, as both projects were practically developed at the...
System Overview The Smart Knob is based on ESP WROOM 32E microprocessor module. The haptic feedback is realized by burying a BLDC motor in the main body of the knob. A magnetic sensor senses the direction of the knob and sends the angle to ESP32. ESP32...
One major reason for that is that there is a huge gap between the hardware that's used in commercial devices and in research prototypes. To make a successful robotic prosthesis you need a small, lightweight embedded system that can support high peak...
The focus of this project is a very low cost robotic platform that provides a test bed for a new model of machine cognition. A purpose built micro cluster serves as the 'brain' and the BigSack deep K/V store was optimized for cluster operation. The Robot...
This project starts where the Arcus-3D-M1 leaves off with a more narrowly defined set of build parameters.The current design is based on a Beaglebone Black/CRAMPS board running Machinekit, and some custom code. The interface is published as a network...
