[15:25:01] <veverak> hi folks
[15:25:15] <veverak> anybody experienced robotchallenge in vienna?
[15:53:18] <veverak> deshipu: also, decided to fuck it and ordered one of
[15:53:20] <veverak> http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Smart-Electronics-PCA9685-16-Channel-12-bit-PWM-Servo-Driver-I2C-Interface-for-Arduino-Raspberry-Pi/32464046768.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.1.OeTSH9&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_10,searchweb201602_1_10057_10056_10037_10055_10049_10059_10058_10032_10017_405_404_407_106_10040_105_104_10060_103_102,searchweb201603_8&btsid=bc9fe7b0-8396-4ceb-8d38-f2ba718f9a30
[15:53:26] <veverak> will makes things go much faster
[17:35:12] <robotustra> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuJdS-Q8rek&feature=youtu.be
[19:26:12] <veverak> finally progress
[19:26:15] <veverak> deshipu: http://squirrel.veverak.org/laptop/scad/kine.png
[19:26:18] <veverak> tadaaaah
[19:26:26] <veverak> finished kinematics model based on 3d model of robot
[19:26:29] <veverak> :)
[19:26:52] <veverak> tomorrow: prepare magic that will allow .scad conversion into urdf
[19:27:31] <veverak> why URDF? because all ROS simulation SW uses it, and it can be used to load parameters into code of robot
[19:27:57] <veverak> which means that if you change the robot, you just mods the scad and tools will propagate any changes to sw
[19:28:02] <veverak> ok, that's maybe overkill, but still!
[19:28:03] <veverak> :D
[19:32:15] <rue_house> hmm
[19:35:48] <Tom_itx> how do you get a floppy interface on a current MB setup?
[19:36:38] <Tom_itx> mmm maybe a bootable DOS 6.22 image to burn to disk
[19:40:23] <Tom_itx> how can you edit an iso file to add files to it?
[19:50:33] <robotustra> good
[21:50:15] <z64555> Tom_itx: Use a virtual drive and mount the ISO as a disk. Then you can "burn" new files to it
