Good news this week suddenly build a base to do some performance testing and monitoring of the end of the robot actuators.
Building the base for testing. With these tests we observed the behavior that will once solenoids attached to the structure of robot, with the advantage of not having to put it together yet. In addition, it allowed us to design changes needed before mounting the final structure.
Today we test the control circuit with a full octave. The process was carried out as follows:
Unfortunately we a little behind in building the structure of the robot. Take advantage of these spring break to move as close as possible, we hope to have some pictures soon.
still testing and orcobot is getting closer to seeing the light.
Gods to Valhalla are on our side.
Today we test the control circuit with a full octave. The process was carried out as follows:
- develop the application you care about the tune in MIDI format we want the robot run.
- Once decodes the MIDI application, sent to the microcontroller (PIC18F4550 ) messages that interest us ( NOTE ON and NOTE OFF ) serially.
- The microcontroller is responsible to activate or deactivate the solenoids according to instructions received from the PC.
As you can see in the video, the speed of the solenoid is being run pretty good, so quiensabe ... Once completed, the orcobot could become the Jens Johansson of robots: D.
