Next version 'Nixie' is coming soon !

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

servo blocking detection with rotary sensor in joint

I have added gears and an AS5600 rotary encoder to one of my InMoov shoulders. For shoulder moves I am applying incrementing positions every 20 ms to my shoulder servo. When requesting shoulder positions I record the requested position and the measured position for each of the 20 ms steps.
I would like to use the measured position vs. the requested position to detect a blocking of the shoulder move.

Install Bug

In the past whenever I have installed MRL on a Raspberry Pi or even in Windows, I would create a dirctory MRL, copy the myrobotlab.jar file into that director, then open a terminal window and navigate to the directory.

From there I would run the command:

java -jar myrobotjab --install

After some time, particularly on a new build with a fresh OS image, the program would finish and leave me at the command prompt.
Launching then without the --install would start MRL up with all the services installed.

Fixing Audio Output with Java 11 on the Raspberry Pi

Notes for when running on the Raspberry Pi with the Rasbian Buster OS.
 
When using Java 11 OpenJDK, you may find the audio from the Text To Speech coming out the HDMI port instead of the selected 3.5mm Audio socket on the side of the Raspberry Pi.
This is caused by Pulse Audio not following the requested settings and routing the audio from the Java apps to a different output, the HDMI like it or not.
The solution is to edit the Java sound.properties file.
 

      
  





    




  

    
      
  

              

        
        

          
Speech recognition with chromium does not work

        

      

      

  

    
            
Got the same problem with speech recognition as mentioned in another topic. Mic status is always changing between ready and not ready. After a few seconds MRL shows an error: Too many events.


I would like to go around speech recognition and control my robot with written commands. How I can do this?
