Next version 'Nixie' is coming soon !

Help us to get ready with MyRobotLab version Nixie: try it !

Kryten the inmoov robot

Hi Folks

quick introduction and some questions. My robot is called Kryten, after the humanoid robot in the Red Dwarf series. He is pretty much build standard Gael, with the addition of the articulating stomach.

he stands on a manequin leg set liberated from a local department store, which makes him, ohh, about 6 foot 8 inches tall

Articulating stomach

For those of you who implemented Bob Houston's Articulating Stomach, how are u driving this from MRL?

Getting ready to hook up this servo pair, scratching head.....

ultrasonic sensor(s) in Nixie, questions, suggestion

Hi Folks

I have a standard hc-sr04 sensor, actually I have 2, but looking in Nixie, ultrasonic.py in services, I don't see a way of actually activating 2 individual sensors.

what is the correct way of testing this sensor to make sure it works? 

 

In the ultrasonic.py there is a print statement: print "ultrasonicSensor test is ", i01.getUltrasonicSensorDistance(), however, I have not found where this is printed.

 

ServoMixer

Javadoc link
Example code (from branch develop):
#file : ServoMixer.py (github)
# TODO: Implement this script fpr
servomixer = runtime.start("servomixer","ServoMixer")...
Example configuration (from branch develop):
#file : ServoMixer.py (github)
!!org.myrobotlab.service.config.ServiceConfig
listeners: null
peers: null
type: ServoMixer


User interface is worky in this pr - https://github.com/MyRobotLab/myrobotlab/pull/801 
"sub panels" how to get service page parts showing in other service pages is worky, as you might be able to tell by the set of servos here.

Use Jeston Nano as a visual brain.

I played a little with the Jetson Nano Hello Ai World demo. It's impressive how fast it all goes. Now I ask myself whether it is not possible to use the Jetson as a brain for object recognition, face recognition, etc. for Inmoov. Instead of using Opencv in myrobotlab, the various data from e.g. .detectnet etc. would be fed into myrobotlab by the Jetson.
Is that generally possible and how should something like this have to be set up?
 

can't get Manticore (nor Nixie) to work on Win10

reloaded a clean/new version of win10 64 bit

downloaded Java: java version "1.8.0_28", Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.281-b09, mixed mode)

downloaded Manticore: manticore 1.0.2693

create MRL directory and run java -jar myrobotlab.jar -install

MQTT !

Have worky (N) Mqtt Instances...

It may look like duplicates, but its not. There are 4 MRL Instances connected together, and all (so far) appear to be fully functional in the webgui.

There are 3 which have mqtt connectivity, and another that is connected through the webgui service.
WOOHOO ! - will continue looking for bugs and doing more refactoring ...
