Next version 'Nixie' is coming soon !

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

The ins and outs of Kinect programming

 

 

Great series on how to access Kinects goodies via processing by the guy who wrote the original hacked drivers for it. Well worth subscribing as he perfectly executes the cavets in "Processing" language  , fast paced to the point and fun.

MRL - Batch Command Line Launcher

Hi all ! Go back from holydays :) Actualy testing the "last" MRL to adapt my inmoov scripts

Before with the 1412 when I use this : java -jar myrobotlab.jar -X -Y ... , I saw the progress and error in the console

But now the agent set the console to background. And I must open manualy the logfile. How to bring the console from command line ? It was usefull to debug

 

thanks

 

Integrating robots part movement

Currently, the different InMoov body part are moved by modifying the joints angle of the parts. It's working good, but we need to do a lot of input to do a simple movement.

What I think would be great is to be able to issue simple command, like move("fingertip", x, y, z) or move("rightPalm", x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw) and have MRL compute the different joints angles of the body part to reach that point.

A little video that explains about i2c and the different devices that can be used in MRL

I have been working on adding support for i2c to MyRobotLab during the spring and a bit of the summer.

So what is i2c ?

It's a very simple 2 wire addressable serial protocol. So you can, in theory, connect up to 126 different devices on the same 2 wires. You can find many different devices that use the i2c protocol. For example servodrivers, ad converters, gyro accelerometers, power measuring devices, LCD and OLED screens, temperature measuring devices, real time clocks and so on.
