    Thank you for sharing this. I was hoping you would have demonstrated the difference in movement between the normal R2D2 Droid Movement and the tank movement. Not 100% sure of what the difference is and how it appearance on the droid. I'm new to the droid channel mixing and I have my R2 set up for movement so I'm apprehensive to try and re-program to tank mode.

  • @TheEebel
    @TheEebelАй бұрын

    Tank mode is just the nomenclature of this style of mixing. It’s also called arcade style. If your R2 is driving fine, there is no need to change anything. This video was made to get someone new to RC to a drivable state. I searched all of the internet trying to figure out how to do a mix like this for my first RC droid and there was not a video for it. This video, hopefully, fills that gap.

  • @TrollandError
    @TrollandErrorАй бұрын

    It's not about a difference in the droid's movement so much as a difference in how you get those movements from the radio. Tank mixing lets you combine the horizontal and vertical axes of a single gimbal in such a way that it can control both of the tracks (or wheels) freeing up the second stick for other purposes. This way, left/right on that stick rotates/steers the droid, and up/down moves it forward and reverse. The alternative control scheme is typically to use the vertical axis of the left stick to control the left track, and the vertical axis of the right stick for the right-hand track. With this method, you've simply moved the tank mixing off of the radio and into your brain. The main (only?) advantage of this second control scheme is that it's a bit more straightforward to implement ... each stick controls one motor directly. The downside is that separating the droid's movement inputs from each other like that can be sub-optimal, especially when your droid has other multi-axis inputs that should logically be grouped together and/or suggest use of a gimbal's vertical axis. For example, consider the droid in my profile pic, LD-F1. In addition to the tank drive, he can both nod his head front-back and tilt it left-right (he can also look to either side, but I use a potentiometer for that). Intuition suggests using a vertical axis for nodding and a horizontal axis for tilting, ideally on the same stick. I can easily do that with the gimbal left free by in-radio tank mixing. On the second control scheme, I'd be forced to not only split LD-F1's locomotion onto two different sticks, I'd also have to split his head motion as well, and I'd have to control the front-back nodding motion by moving one of those stick left-right. It doesn't make sense from a puppeteering standpoint. It can also be weird to control. Say I'm turning him, driving the right track forward by moving the right stick up ... but I accidentally nudge the stick a bit to one side. Suddenly, his head is also either tilting or nodding, depending which stick I mapped those to. Putting a bit of deadband on the sticks (so slight deflections away from the center of each axis won't trigger that axis to move) can mitigate that, but it's best to avoid the issue altogether by grouping related functions on one stick.

  • @TrollandError

    @@GunnerAl9 I should also note that some control systems don't necessarily even have two sticks to use with that second control setup. SHADOW, for example, can be used to drive a droid with only one single-stick PS3 Nav controller (you can also use two of them though). Tank mixing would be required for this setup, and would have to be programmed into the code running on the Arduino or whatever. When I did my first build (Artie Deco from Hardware Wars), SHADOW didn't have built-in tank mixing. It relied on the Sabertooth motor controllers to do the tank mixing for you. Since Artie uses regular R/C speed controllers that don't do that, I ended up having to code the tank mixing formula into it myself.

    You lost me when you were programming the sequence to the button and you said it was sequence #5, but didn't explain why it was sequence #5. I'm not fully understanding the sequence count and where they are stored. You named the sequence gripper tool something, but on the screen I never saw anything that related it to the 5th sequence. Can you please explain? the video was awesome, I learned a lot as I'm about to program my dome panels in Kyber.

  • @TheEebel
    @TheEebel2 ай бұрын

    When you write a sequence the Pololu program gives it a number. If using Kyber, you have to have an extra sequence at the beginning that will not get called(sequence #0). Look at the sequence script and you will see the sequence listed in numerical order. That is where you know which sequence is which.

    I'll probably do something like this on a couple of the droids on my list. Seems simpler than a full-fledged stewart platform that I've considered, especially if you don't need translation in the other axes.

    Hello! Would it be possible to share the arm base STP file for the two servo 82MG ? Due to taxes, it is prohibitive for me to buy them. Buyt i got some pretty cheaper, but i didn't see that the axis is not at the same position, so, i couldn't install them. If is not possible, do you have the parameters for the gears? I think if i use a smaller diameter it will work. I know that the movement will be restricted, but it is still a possibility. Thanks!

    I don’t sell Kyber. I stared my droid journey with SHADOW-MD. It was/is awesome! However, Bluetooth, although inexpensive has a fundamental flaw. It cannot survive today’s Bluetooth saturated conventions. My first taste of this was with my, at the time, Bluetooth R5. I was at a convention with 20,000 people crammed into a convention hall and he was uncontrollable. Just too many folks with phones.This saturated and jammed the Bluetooth frequencies. Modern Radio control transmitters are effectively immune to this problem because they use frequency hopping Yes, the is a cost to this tech and the controllers are big and visible to the audience(although if you are clever it is possible to mitigate this by standing behind the observer or use other ‘magician’ techniques. You can certainly start with Bluetooth. However, in the long run, if you find that you are passionate about this hobby/profession, RC is really the best tech.
