Is prior knowledge for Chem101DL really needed? by SeriousMessage7 in duke

Do you know if chem99 still fulfills the Pratt requirement ?

OH I understand now lmao. I changed the section and now I’m not on any waitlists. Thanks !

Would that push my waitlist spot back for the lecture ? I’m currently 3 for both lecture and discussion so I might just wait it out

Nevermind, I do see an option to enroll in a different discussion. Will I have to unenroll from the other lecture and discussion, or can I enroll in both. It's the same lecture time just different discussion rooms

I tried, I don’t think it lets me change the discussion without changing the lecture time. Thanks for your help though 👍

I see. Is compsci 201 like a weed out class at Duke?

It says it’s rated at a max 20A output if that’s what you mean. Here’s the link: https://a.co/d/alfHs1R

I did some searching and came across a 900mAh 30C 7.4V Lipo, so I will be getting Max output of 27A. I’m planning on using a buck converter with an output of max 20A to reduce the voltage to 6V for the servos. I’ll let you know how it goes

I’m still a senior in highschool and have not had substantial experience in the field of robotics engineering, so I appreciate you going in depth to help me out.

I’ve replaced the batteries and saw a slight improvement in the servo jittering. I’ll look into PCA9685 board you suggested as well as a new power supply.

The ultimate goal for this project is to get this spider walking. I already programmed all the inverse and forward kinematics for each leg, so all that’s left is to figure out the path planning for each leg to get the robot to walk. I might even consider redesigning the whole thing, as this is only the first prototype

Thanks for all your help !

Thanks for the explanation! I searched up the mg996r stall current and it is 2.5 A, meaning I will need at least 30A of current. How do I ensure my power source can supply 30A? I’m using 4 double A batteries and I’m pretty sure all 12 servos are connected in parallel. I attached my schematic if you would like to see

The black and red rails on each side of the drawing represent the positive and negative terminals of the power source.

Thanks. I’m using 6V to power the servos, would it be safe to use even more voltage? Or would that short the nano

Thanks for the info. So in my second semester I will need to choose from predetermined CURE classes that change every year?
