One question, how do you keep the head from flying off? ;)

Post by: Evil Bob on July 13, 2011, 09:14:18 PM: Rotation has been finished.

Post by: Evil Bob on July 15, 2011, 06:06:39 AM: Thanks! I need to attach Tom Servo to the platform. Now it's like he's riding a mechanical bull.

Post by: Ron on July 15, 2011, 03:41:20 PM: It's the "like" for the new Google+ social networking site... but everyone has used it as a "sign of approval" since forever ago ;)

Post by: Evil Bob on July 15, 2011, 04:29:22 PM: Lol, sorry. I'm old.
Title: Re: 3-axis platform for Crow and Tom Servo
Post by: Evil Bob on July 17, 2011, 02:02:49 PM: I've got Tom's mouth servo added. The servo is mounted to the controll rod in the hoverskirt and will rotate with Tom's head.

Title: Re: 3-axis platform for Crow and Tom Servo
Post by: Evil Bob on July 20, 2011, 03:49:03 PM: Thanks Derek. His mouth is synced to the audio. The software converts the audio wave form into servo instructions. I was too lazy to edit out Crow's and Mike's parts. For this test anyway, lol.

Post by: Derek on July 25, 2011, 02:25:27 PM: Hands down, that has got to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my entire life.

That's going to be a challenge.

Post by: Evil Bob on August 02, 2011, 04:38:48 PM: I have it drawn out, and it *should* work, lol.
Title: Re: 3-axis platform for Crow and Tom Servo
Post by: Evil Bob on August 06, 2011, 04:54:57 PM: I have the lower half of Crow mounted to the platform with the head servo in place.

Post by: cybergregg on August 07, 2011, 07:19:38 AM: This is so awesome. This is the kind of project I think most of us here would do if we could.
But, I just can't help wondering if "irony' is the way to describe a servo controlled Crow...
Title: Re: 3-axis platform for Crow and Tom Servo
Post by: Evil Bob on August 07, 2011, 09:10:08 PM: Lol I thought that too.

Here's where it is today.

Title: Re: 3-axis platform for Crow and Tom Servo
Post by: Evil Bob on August 08, 2011, 08:08:14 PM: Yeah me too! It's all finished an put back together.
I have to set limits on all the servos in the control software and I'll try it out. Tomorrow, lol.
