Problem with script and servo

Hello,
Killerstinck is having problems with a script, he wants to close the hand a finger at a time, but there is a problem of (not sleeping long enough ?) and one of the servos appears to run in reverse ?

below is the script running

#file : InMoov3.minimal.py

# this will run with versions of MRL above 1695
# a very minimal script for InMoov
# although this script is very short you can still
# do voice control of a right hand or finger box
# It uses WebkitSpeechRecognition, so you need to use Chrome as your default browser for this script to work

# Start the webgui service without starting the browser
webgui = Runtime.create("WebGui","WebGui")
webgui.autoStartBrowser(False)
webgui.startService()
# Then start the browsers and show the WebkitSpeechRecognition service named i01.ear
webgui.startBrowser("http://localhost:8888/#/service/i01.ear")

# As an alternative you can use the line below to show all services in the browser. In that case you should comment out all lines above that starts with webgui. 
# webgui = Runtime.createAndStart("webgui","WebGui")

# Change to the port that you use
rightPort = "COM4"

#to tweak the default voice
Voice="cmu-slt-hsmm" # Default female for MarySpeech 
#Voice="cmu-bdl" #Male US voice.You need to add the necessary file.jar to myrobotlab.1.0.XXXX/library/jar

The strangest problem to me

The strangest problem to me seems like the 2 servos run in reverse for a short time?

What happens when you move

What happens when you move one of the servos which moved in reverse, with the gui ?

doing the task manually,

doing the task manually, works perfectly

double speak!

Ok.. so looking at the no-worky you sent. It would apear that the inmoov thought it heard the command "close your hand" two times in a row.

I think the result is, that it executes the python method for closehand() 2 times in parallel.

So, you basically have 2 threads that are both executing the method closehand().. this is why about 1/2 way through, the hand briefly tries to open up to full open position again before starting to fully close correctly.

There may be a bug here that webkitspeech is double-publishing what it hears. That could cause this issue. Though, I'm not sure yet. I've highlighted some key things in the log file that lead me to this conclusion.

1. I see 2 log messages from webkit that recognize "close your hand"

2. I notice the servoMoveToMicroseconds log message that shows how each finger gets set to 0, then 180, and then to 0 and to 180 again.

double speak!

I understand perfectly, I just lack knowledge for such repair, I also noticed it in the LOG, attention to open the hand it does too

run it twice? try the latest?

At a glance, I'm not seeing, in the logs, anything that would explain the double publishing of the recognized text "close hand"...

Is it possible that you ran the minimal scripts 2 times ? Perhaps running the script more than once will cause webkit to be subscribed to 2 times.. hence the publishing twice.. This is just a guess..

I would recommend trying out the "latest".. and let us know if it's still hapening in the pre-nixie release.

run it twice? try the latest?

I cleaned an arduino EEPROM, also formatted, installed MRLCOMM, the "close hand" layer is repeated twice

I see this is adding commands

I see this is adding commands with ear.addCommand AND using InMoov ... I don't have experience with all the auto-gesture InMoov files stuff, but I suspect perhaps maybe its double posting because InMoov is trying to do it and so is your raw ear.addCommand entries in your script ..

Just a guess

Hello,I wonder if your

Hello,

I wonder if your breedboard can supply enough amps for all the servos which are all powered at once.

The script you are using is adapted to a older version of MRL, and was not very safe because it doesn't disable the servos after usage.

Try with this, it should be better:

def handclose():
    i01.rightHand.thumb.moveTo(180)
    sleep(0.5)
    i01.rightHand.index.moveTo(180)
    sleep(0.5)
    i01.rightHand.majeure.moveTo(180)
    sleep(0.5)
    i01.rightHand.ringFinger.moveTo(180)
    sleep(0.5)
    i01.rightHand.pinky.moveTo(180)
    sleep(0.5)
    i01.mouth.speak("a nice and closed hand that is")
