fingers

hi guys

my hand has problem with 2 fingers and when i use open hand they look like that, i changed it to (20,20,20,75,75)

is there another way that i can solve it???????

Update to the Speech service

The current version of the Speech service works very well in Engish. But if you try to use it in any other langage than English, it doesen't really work. I identified 3 different issues.

MaVo has made some great advances in the WebGUI, I have added some functionality as well. My intent is to merge these 2 branches unless someone has a better idea. Merging is a big pain, but making mrl better is worth it. I like to think of it as genetic engineering where we are taking the traits of two different organisms and making a Bigger Stronger Faster MRL ! The following list are some of the details.

Problem with the Audiocapture service

I tested the AudioCapture Service. The first time I made a recording it worked fine, but the second time it failed. I found that the microphone was not released when stopping the recording, so the second attempt failed to connect to the microphone.

So I downloaded the source for MRL and found the problem in AudioCapture.java

Adding

targetDataLine.close();

just before the line

byteArrayOutputStream.close();

solves the problem :-)

Best regards

Cofiguration Files

Hello,

I have spent some days figuring out how mrl works an so I now have some questions.

I've got servos and ProgramAB and OpenCV working and it is possible to connect some things to each other.
But I'm missing some INI-files to configure the services.

i.e. It is possible to implement a face-recognition in openCV. For that, you have to save pictures of faces in an directory. But where must I define the path? Where is the best place to store this?

inmoov hand

hello everyone

I have another problem with Serov :(

I tried the single hand test with one servo connect to index (pin3)

but the servo is not moving by voice command.

i can move it manual but not with command.

it seems servo is connected and no problem for power.

Using a stepper motor to control Flexion/extension of InMoov's head

Idea No. 642

Some days ago I had an idea. Using electromagnets instead of servos or motors.

As I only have 3 electromagnets at the moment the first test is pretty simple. But it works!

Using an Arduino Uno and 6 relays the polarity of each magnet changes from negative to positive or vice versa. One magnet pulls and the other two are pushing.

Hope to get some more magnets soon (and stronger ones) to do more testing.

Another Small Step

Data coming back now from Clock services in the /test workspace ...

It's "very" kludgy .. lots of refactoring .. but you can create a new Clock service and it will auto-subscribe the the pulse and start it ...

It's fun working with MaVo although I know I'm torturing tearing things apart .. MaVo is a fast healer :)

Help needed

I am using this here to control a relay and works fine:
ear.addCommand("ventilator off", arduino.getName(), "digitalWrite", 12, 0)

I would like to use it as a definition, e.g. like:

def ventilatoroff():
    sleep(1)
    digitalWrite,12,0
    mouth.speakBlocking("ok, ventilator off")

Does anyone know how to do this the correct way? Thanks.

Next version 'Nixie' is coming soon !
