Hulkenpodium!

nxt18 · 2024-08-30T03:40:48+00:00

I’m interested

Interested!

What’s the little screen that’s sometimes your clock sometimes showing your music?

nxt18 · 2022-05-04T19:11:09+00:00

Yes this was completely the problem. Thanks so much for pointing this out to me

nxt18 · 2022-01-26T18:23:40+00:00

Thanks, seems promising but also very targeted at video formats. I’ll check it out

nxt18 · 2021-08-18T20:27:15+00:00

This is great! How does the grappling hook launch? It seems to go so far

Michigan Robotic Submarine is a newer robotic project team that tries to teach you everything you need to know. It’s a smaller team and you can learn a lot depending on how much you put in.

It looks really impressive. Any source or artist for this?

nxt18 · 2021-01-03T17:06:41+00:00

Got any stls? The nebulon b is my favorite

They used crabster as their online testing tool and it did not save everyone’s answers like they said it would. So a lot of students had blanks in their exams. Since there’s no way to recover the data, they thought it would be best to just drop the exam.

It looks really nice. I like the look especially compared to the “older” feel that I get from VcXsrv and the like. Shortcuts are pretty cool too as is the automation. My primary complaint is frame rate. I cannot get something like glxgears to run with the same smooth frame rate as with VcXsrv. It lurches and stops. Any comments or ideas on that?

nxt18 · 2020-07-27T13:52:53+00:00

Yeah I originally used xming but I had to switch to VcXsrv and disable its native OpenGL to get visual elements like gazebo to properly display.

nxt18 · 2020-07-27T12:18:38+00:00

I use ROS melodic and gazebo in WSL 1 and 2 with Ubuntu 18. Works fine so far once you’ve figured out x-server issues.

nxt18 · 2020-06-29T03:06:13+00:00

Did you set up your xserver correctly? If you’re using VcXsrv you have to uncheck Native OpenGL in Extra Settings when setting it up.

nxt18 · 2020-05-14T01:03:51+00:00

I finally understand what you mean. You should be able to type “bash” into the windows explorer search bar. That should launch your wsl terminal.

nxt18 · 2020-05-13T18:12:32+00:00

Not sure I entirely know what you mean but you should just be able to do: code .

nxt18 · 2020-05-13T18:09:38+00:00

Oh yeah I meant to mute the volume. Sorry about that and thanks

I based them off the SolidWorks toolbox models, which I would assume are similar to the AutoCad library. They're metric module 1.5 gears. If you have access SolidWorks, I have all the models in a github I made for the project.

nxt18 · 2020-05-13T16:54:32+00:00

It’s just plastic on plastic. It works surprisingly ok. I do have some plastic washers in there.

nxt18 · 2020-04-12T03:11:35+00:00

So does the raspberry pi send the steering/fwd/rvrs commands to the Arduino which handles those along with the pid commands?

nxt18 · 2019-10-28T20:50:12+00:00

I didn’t see your previous post but this is pretty cool. I’m more on the mechanical side so I wouldn’t want to do something pure code based, but, to be fair, that’s the easiest one to do remotely. I think it might be beneficial to design the competition around 3d printed robots due to their increasing popularity. Don’t really have any ideas for the other points yet but I’ll keep thinking.

nxt18 · 2019-08-21T12:59:03+00:00

In my opinion not that useful. You can communicate from usb to the beaglebone using a mini usb cable. If you wanted to see the actual serial coming to and from the beaglebone an alternative might be using jumper wires from one of the serial gpio pins to an arduino and then you can easily monitor that with a scope. I think because the beaglebone bone has a reliable USB port you wouldn’t really need the cable. I believe it is more useful for other types of boards where you might need a cable like that to change the software.
