2 months to build Poppy

[sylvain]

Hello !
I’m building a Poppy for few weeks. I have 3 month at the most.
Like @Timothee, I’m studing in Arts et Métiers ParisTech National Graduate Engineering School. But I’m at Bordeaux Campus.
I will centralize all my questions on this topic, and publish some photos =)
Let’s go !

[Matthieu]

Nice
The last one took me 8h so it should be possible to assemble one within 3 months ^^

[Ihsane]

Planning to do the same! keep us updated and good luck

Hi !
I plan to compile all instructions for assembly in a document. I want to use texts, photos, videos, CAO files…
What kind of format should I use ?

[Matthieu]

I will do a video tutorial so if you can do something complementary such as CAO it would be great

[sylvain]

How can I know which version of Poppy have I ?

[sylvain]

Which format of files should I use (STL, STEP…) ?

[Matthieu]

You have the last release available on the beta repository. If you want to print parts you should use STL files. If you want to open it in a CAD software, which is not Solidworks, you should use STEP files.

[sylvain]

Thanks So I will use this 2 formats to do a CAD tutorial.

Concerning the Poppy’s version, I want to say : if I compare references of components that I have, with BOM Spreadsheet and forms of 3D printed components that I have, with STL files, I only can know if my Poppy’s version is the latest.
How a person which have an old Poppy’s version can know is version’s number of Poppy ?
My goal is that people use instructions for assembly corresponding to their Poppy’s version.

[sylvain]

I need your help again about this.
To your mind, which is the best format to compile several formats of instructions (eg : texts, photos, videos) ?
I’m open to all idea

[sylvain]

Hi !
It makes long time…
Springs aren’t on the BOM Spreadsheet but we can see them on some pictures between leg and thigh.
Are they nice-to-have like knee bumper ?

[oudeyer]

They are not really needed, but can be used in some experiments where parts of the leg movements are passive.

[sylvain]

Hello !
I don’t manage to assemble “lower_limb” and “hip”. Indeed according to CAD files, servomotor MX-64 (id : 23 and 13) is fixed to thigh thanks to MX-64 horn (HN05-N101) and HN05-I101. But I hav’nt any HN05-I101. Furthermore this component is not in the BOM Spreadsheet.
Should someone help myself?

[Matthieu]

You have to use this part:
https://github.com/poppy-project/poppy-hardware-beta/blob/master/rapid_prototyping/Connector%20HN07-N101_FR05-S101.SLDPRT

[sylvain]

Thanks !
Is that normal this component is not in Whole assembly in STEP format ?

How to get the Poppy Humanoid sources files

The whole sources of Poppy Humanoid are hosted on GitHub, both for software and hardware. Quick links: ###Repositories: pypot Poppy humanoid ###Download the latest version: Solidworks (zip 254 Mo) STL files for 3D printing (zip 47 Mo) STEP format (.STEP 178 Mo) Parasolid format (.x_b 50 Mo) For advanced user and contributors: If you want to easily track updates and/or want to contribute, you should use Git and clone/fork the poppy humanoid repository available on GitHub. Take a look a…

[Matthieu]

Nop it should be included …

[sylvain]

We didn’t understand us. I already have Connector HN07-N101_FR05-S101 in 3D printring.

I think there’s a component missing :

[Matthieu]

Ok I missed your question. You need a HN05-I101 Robotis part.

[sylvain]

Ok, so i will buy two HN05-I101 Robotis part. It should be nice for other Poppy’s user to add this on BOM Spreadsheet

[sylvain]

Hi !
I have 2 ROBOTIS FR05-S101 Set (metal) and 2 Connector HN07-N101_FR05-S101 (3D printing).
Are these components equivalent ?
How many of each should I use to build Poppy ?
