InMoov2 hand progress

I worked recently on the new InMoov hand (InMoov2 hand). I had stopped a few months ago because my wire connections had something wrong and I had burned the Arduino Nano and one of the motor driver board. Being very buzy in all directions, kinect, legs,Nervo boards, Makerfaires,  I got driven away from it until 3 days ago.
Thanks to Leon and Marten which gave me a set of new Arduino Nano, I could start to work again. ( To remind who are Leon and Marten: they are getting the Nervo boards ready and they came to the Makerfaire Paris and Roma)
So getting back on it, I discovered what I done wrong and finally got the index and thumb working. The script I use gives very simple keyboard fonctions for now , although it took me a very long time to adapt it to my needs., but it is mostly a proof of concept. I'm still stucked though with the thumb actuation. For some reason (unknown) it extends but doesn't retract. I wonder if the driver I'm using got burned somehow during my previous attempts or if it is a script problem.

InMoov prosthetic hand almost ready

 You can find more scripts for MRL and for InMoov in the Download tab:

Scripts to control your InMoov with MyRobotLab

If the script is a Inmoov.xxx it is for the MRL version 1695

If the script is a inmoov2.xxx it is for the latest versions

I have modified the pin setting of jaw servo between the two versions

I have added eyes pins which now allow 4 PID tracking.

-Version 1695 pin 12 on Arduino Uno (right side of the robot)

-Version latests pin 26 on Arduino Mega (left side of the robot)

You can find the hardware map and pins connections for inmoov 2.0 here:

InMoov 2.0 is a new service implemented in MyRobotLab, FASTER, STRONGER, BETTER!!

It is not completely functional but it will have more features than inmoov 1.0

Thanks to Grog, and Alessandro we are progressing!!

3D PrintShow London Paris + Prosthetic

InMoov will be presented for the 3D Print Show in London and Paris.
London 7-9 november, Business Design Center
Paris 15-16 november, Carrousel du Louvres.
I do keep myself busy lately... A bit too much in fact.
Make is organising a big robot hack and InMoov is involved. There should be a bunch of hangout sessions.  This is going to be fun!! Chuck Fletcher, who presented his robot InMoov to the New York MakerFaire is going to be part of the sessions as well.
Here is the link to the article.
