Servo Suspension System

This is my first experiment with the MakerBot. I am totally thrilled with this machine!!!

(photo by Tiago Serra)
SSS (servo suspension system) is designed to support standard servo motors and act as a basic suspension. It is still a work in progress and has not been tested yet.
Will update results as soon as possible (still waiting [...]

easing servo movements

I’ve been working on this for a while and finally I have the courage to post the results.
I’m also testing the pololu micro serial servo controller in the hope I could achieve better results. One good thing the pololu controller has, is the ability to set the speed of the movement, I guess it is [...]

Zezinho, the poser

This is Zezinho, a humanoid robot that likes to pose! :)

All the microservo supports where made with the amazing material Polymorph.
For now he is being controlled by 8 analog inputs, each input controls one microservo. In the future (as I hope) he will be controlled by a computer vision system where he will try [...]

Robotic articulation prototype with Arduino

This is the result of a couple of tests with recently arrived microservos + Arduino programming + polymorph shaping technics + recently build G’Remote :-)
I don´t have any specific application in mind for this, the main purpose is to learn and test new concepts of mechatronic articulations, and to get used to polymoprh of what [...]

Control your motors with L293D

After long research and trial and error,  I´ve came up to a new walkthrough regarding this nice chip, the L293D.
Each project is one project and each one has its own unique power configurations, so you must be aware of the best battery choice and how to distribute voltage through your robot.
I strongly advice you to [...]
