Team Robo-Dog:
Robo-dog team successfuly incorporated at PCA9685 Servo breakout, downloaded the Adafruit Servo PCM library, and was able to get the servos working.
Discussed other walking mechanisms and linkages, such as the Theo Jansen Strandbeest linkage:
Team Grabber:
Had two team meetings, to better define objectives:
Team decided to use the Kitronik robotics board, but wanted proportional control of the servos, which has been difficult to implement in Makecode.
Sample Radio Control Code(MakeCode):
Reads pushbuttons, to control servos in fixed positions,
and to control car with tilt:
Partial sample receiver code, for use with Kitronik Robotics Board:
Team Rocket Goat:
Drop tests:
Some gliding observed, but both tries resulted in a corkscrew flight due it is believed to uneven shroud lines.
Various:
Nice work by Maeve:
SMUR team met with Lee Zamir to discuss the acoustics of speaker enclosures:
Re; servo control.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a slower, more controlled movement, consider replacing the default servo.h with varspeedservo.h
