連續的 Event

一連兩星期參加了兩個香港的機械人 Event，這兩次的 Event 皆是以 Hong Kong Maker Club 的身份參加的，首先是參加了由 “CTEA 創意科技教育協會” 主辦的 “創意科技機械人大賽”，這項活動最主要是機械車足球比賽，而我負責的是在台上和其他的二足機械人表演一下。

 

另外一個是由民政署主辦的 “2012 / 13年秋冬上環假日行人坊”，這項活動是每星期也有不同主題的，而其中 Hong Kong Maker Club 參加的是名為 I.T. Fun Day 的活動，我們 Hong Kong Maker Club 申請了四個攤位，其中一個攤位交給了 DimSum Lab 及 MakiBox。

Finish the TK05 Gemini ( ProGear )

Yesterday just finish brush all the parts & finish the electronics part for the TK05 ProGear.

	inside the body

about electronics part, TK05 is different then TK03 or TK04.

TK05 didn’t have ArmBoard inside, TK05 just have a MT-SC31SQ ( pdf file ), The MT-SC31SQ direct support the PS2 Adapter ( pdf file ), So I can direct control all the action with the wireless PS2 joystick. Also the programming is easy then before, No C programming. You just need you mouse click the servo angle, servo speed & save it at any location.

below have a walk video, I just program it in 5 mins.

Today , a new parts make in the factory have been received.

The PC-02 Carbon Plate, it is make with 1mm thick Carbon sheet. Also the PC-02 is support with ProGear BL806 Robot Servo & RoBoard RS-1270 Robot Servo. Below have some sample.

install it at TK05 ProGear	install it with the RoBoard RS-1270

TK05 Gemini – continue 2

TK05 continue work, now just lack of the head & the arm, when finish all the Aluminum Sheet metal, will be going to brush the parts & finish the electronics parts.

TK05 Gemini ( Twins ) Robot

After received the DMP RS-1270 Robot Servo. I have need to update my design of TK05. When I know DMP Electronics INC have this product. I have a idea “ why not do a pair of twins robot ? “ it is same design. But the legs is different. It can show different servo power.

the Left Side – TK05-ProGear , the legs servo – ProGear BL806 Digital Robot Servo.

the Right Side – TK05-DMP , the legs servo – DMP RS-1270 Digital Robot Servo.

Next Month, I will be start the project.

The Final Test of TK04 TorreóN

 

finish the monitor & receiver mounting for the TK04 TorreóN. The TK04 Project will be stop at the moment. If have any update for this project , will be update ASAP.

The next job is repair the TK03 first, at the last month, TK03 have drop on the floor around 1m height. some of the parts are broken. also I have decide to replace the Kondo KHR-3HV foot on the TK03, & beautiful the cable routing for the TK03.

& remake the demo unit ( 4 servo Robot ) for the primary school.

then will be start the Project TK05.

this is the draft for the TK05. before TK05 project start, may be have some re-edit design for the Parts & the outlook.
