Cool stuff! I was wondering what are the applications for that? Is it possible to animate something in maya and recreate the movement using three servos to cover all the degrees of freedom?
Dan Thompson 2 months ago

Hi Jordi,

Yes it's absolutely possible. Baring in mind that you are limited to 180 degrees max rotation for each servo. More videos are coming with example files too.

Really interesting! Good work! Are you planning to add stepper motor support to it? I add it to my bookmarks. Hope to give it a try in the future! ;)
Dan Thompson 2 months ago

Yes I am, But for that I will need to switch from the Arduino to the Propeller as Arduino can only support a one (position controlled) stepper motor before the code becomes too complex for my liking.

Propeller should make this a lot easier. You can read more about it on my blog.
