Jenny got us a three-phase power converter and <br>that's all it took! people have been steering it around using the <br>training pendant all night. It makes a squealing noise while it's on.<br><br>http:spaz.org/~jake/robot/pix<br>http:spaz.org/~jake/robot/video/VID_20140905_214843.mp4<br><br>it has a serial port. we are going to need to RTFM a bit to learn how to <br>actually control it, for example from a program on a real computer.<br><br>it can move much faster than we are able to steer it with the control <br>pendant. But for now it moves pretty slow, even on "fast" mode.<br><br>here are all the PDFs i have found so far. I believe there is enough <br>information in here to be able to communicate with the thing over the <br>serial port. If you want any help actually connecting serial to it, <br>please let me know.<br><br>I would like to plug it into a serial port on the 3d printing computer, <br>and then people will be able to talk to the robot from their laptop using <br>socat or whatever program they run on that computer. Let me know if <br>you're interested in doing that. But first read the manuals, and put <br>whatever you find on the wiki page so the rest of us know where to start.<br><br>http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/<br><br>-jake<br>_______________________________________________<br>sudo-discuss mailing list<br>sudo-discuss@lists.sudoroom.org<br>https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss<br></body>
