A little peek at the logging robot remote control.
Added 2024-02-12 00:39:05 +0000 UTCI think it might even work...

Gotta remember to come over here too watch!

2024-02-19 03:46:34 +0000 UTCTruly love you guys! Wes, you are a very talented, knowledgeable man, to create all those diodes & transistors, etc. for that robotic apparatus. your detail into the unknown is fascinating, by no means do I totally understand, but grasp a tiny portion of it. Archie

2024-02-19 03:43:26 +0000 UTCSoo exciting. I didn’t comment on your emergency repair vid as I am a building inspector in Canada and was shaking in my boots. Did the trick though. 😁

2024-02-12 13:16:52 +0000 UTCThe joy stick control looks easy enough that even Max and your son could do remote logging, or possibly Max could use it to fulfill fetch requests.

2024-02-12 12:44:07 +0000 UTCA rare sighting of Mrs Wes in the workshop during winter! Looks like you've been able to utilise some off the shelf driver modules together with an Arduino to drive the show. I have zero knowledge about hydraulic control, but assuming the soleniods can be PWM controlled it looks like you're onto a winner there.

2024-02-12 03:48:21 +0000 UTCThe visual feedback with the lights is a great idea, also the fact that it's big makes it cooler right? If you have to wear it on your back then it's even better!

2024-02-12 01:40:46 +0000 UTCIt’s like that movie RobotJox. But sadder. :-) Can’t wait for the gory details.

2024-02-12 01:30:45 +0000 UTCI hope so.

2024-02-12 01:22:09 +0000 UTCIt's a good idea. I should be able to implement it pretty quickly.

2024-02-12 01:21:42 +0000 UTCWe'll go into all the gory details!
Watch Wes Work
2024-02-12 01:21:01 +0000 UTCMrs Wes does a good job as demonstrator. Very smart to have the indicator lights, too. Although, I would have been sore tempted--against all notions of simplicity--to have two sets of indicators. One for the remote, and another on the unit. As the robot is meant to operate autonomously, it would seem prudent to have a light on the unit to indicate which function is activated. Simple safety stuff. Now, breadboarding LED linear lamps to indicate 'amount' of control input at the remote might be useful. "Might" being the operative word. The proof of concept is right there, right now, well enough. And, the preview survived donkey-powered internet uploading on super-something(tm) Sunday, too.
