+ | - Open Solidpart file, or any CAD file that you can convert into (.STL) file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Select "Save as" | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Select (.STL) type, then Save. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Go to workdesk where you can see ROBO 3D Printer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Find ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - This is the display you will see. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Find ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Click ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - You are lucky if you get to see CAD model fit on the plate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - But, Normally you are going to face this issue. The more the model gets fit on the plate, the better quality materials you get. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Find ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - You are going to see those menus on the top right. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Use the correct menu to adjust the model until it fits on the plate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Click ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - On ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - At ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Recommendation : 10~20 support% for normal CAD design. | ||

- | **Step 2** | + | **Step 2. MM-UAV arm** |
\\ | \\ | ||
\\ | \\ | ||
- | < | + | {{: |
+ | |||
+ | - Cut the Rigid Carbon Fiber Shapes round tubes(Small and Large) into 8 inches per a piece, you are going to get 8 pieces of both small and large tubes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Put connector A in the Tubes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Drill two holes on the bracket in a size of M2*6mm screw and M2 nut. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Anchor the screw on the servo arm plates following the picture. Up to the quality of 3D printer, you might need to drill the hole to bigger to create space for screws. Then, assembly the rests with Carbon Fiber arm | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - You should twist the arm until the plate and the connector arranged vertically. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Zip tie the arms. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Complete | ||

+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
- | A link to the source code can be found <provide URL to your code, probably saved in this DASL Wiki>. | + | - Inside of the servo motor box, you can see 2 brackets. Use scissors |
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Put drill on each hole on the plate, drill the bigger for the M2*25mm screws. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Place servomotors on the Bottom plate, put M2*25mm screws from the bottom, then cover them with Nylon unthreaded spacers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Put the top plate, then fix it with M3 Nyloc nuts. | ||
\\ | \\ | ||

- | ---- | + | **Step 4. MM-UAV Slave arm-Servo arm-Top plate assembly** |
- | <!- Insert a snippet | + | |
- | ---- | + | |
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | -Prepare Connector A, Servo arm, Top plate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | -Cut Weather Resistance Polyester Twine into 30cm for 12 lines, bind both side of Steel extension spring together. You are going to make 6 pairs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Put each pair into Carbon Fiber Tube(.315" | ||
+ | - Then, put the Twine into Connector A like " ---< | ||
+ | - use superglue | ||
+ | - If the surface are rough, use sandpaper | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Connect Connector A to Servo-arm with superglue | ||
+ | - Put Twine from Slave are into the connector on Servo Arm. | ||
+ | - Pull the Twine until you feel the string touch the edge. | ||
+ | like ----< | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | -Use M2.5*5mm Screws with Flat washers to anchor the twine. Then, make a thick knot near the screw. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Make 6 pairs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Put Connector A into each hole on Top plate with superglue. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Mark numbers on top plate and servo plate to connect the both correctly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Put Twine through the connectors on Top plate. And pull it until you see no space between connectors and you feel force from the spring, then use a pen to mark it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Pull the twine to 2cm and Use M2.5*5mm screw and Flat washer to anchor the hole. We are going to use force from spring to stand the UAV, you should pull the twine 2cm from each slave arms to the balance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Connection complete. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Connect the servo arm on the motor, you should make sure each number you have drawn on both plates are matched. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | -NICE JOB! | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | **Step 5. Connect the motors with servo controller.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Install the software " | ||
+ | |||
+ | -Visit the link below, install the software and watch Youtube demonstration. It will help a lot! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Link : https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Servo motor adjustment with Pololu Maestro Servo Center. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - For the adjustment, make sure you do this **without** servo-arm attached. | ||
+ | - With the software, see the photo on the left, you should turn shaft on opposite direction of movement to maximum because it has to move from vertical to horizontal to manipulate easier. Then, attach vertically the arm on the shaft. | ||
