AR4 Robot Startup

[@ericlotze7724]

Software looks really well made, and not only that but you have all this great documentation/guides! Good job on all that, and thanks again for Open Sourcing it!

[@anninrobotics]

Thank you, my pleasure.

[@rent2ownnz]

This is fantastic. I have built 3d Printers from scratch and want to see if I can learn how to build and program this beast! I want to see if the end attachment can be set up to laser cut holes in ø100-200NB pipe.

[@1620GarageAndFarm]

This robot is soooo rad !! I keep coming back to this project. I will be pulling the trigger at some point. I have zero need for it. But I still need to build it !! Maybe I will put my on wheels and train it to walk my dog, and get the mail for :) ... Or maybe work on my farm feeding my goats and chickens !!

[@yekutielbenheshel354]

Bravo! Keep on iterating!

[@lebimas]

If I wanted to increase the payload of the robot, how could I do that? Would buying stronger stepper motors work? Or is there something else I would need to change?

[@Fahnder99]

Nice. When I really want to use it say to transport things from a to b (

[@anninrobotics]

ok glad you found the demo. Let me know if you have any other questions

@@anninrobotics haha, not yet. you're just too good ;)

[@davenarisotto3674]

Awesome project. May i ask, where did you learn all of this?

[@anninrobotics]

Partially through my career as a Robotics systems engineer but mostly self taught and alot of persistence.

[@kvlcmeyigunlu7958]

Hi Chris! I wonder if i can use my teensy 3.5 with ar4 teensy sketch. Just because i can't afford teensy 4.1 in my country.Also i'm not gonna use encoders with my robot. Will this affect controling robot with RoboDK? Thank you a lot. I love following your startups.

Great robot arm 👍

Just when you think your AR3 is awesome, Out comes the AR4 Sweeeeeeeeet!!!

[@文青-n7s]

Man! That is some awesome work. I am checked out the wiring schematics. It looks to me that all feet of teensy has been used to control the motors, can you explain how can I control the motors and still allow rpi command to be send to teensy board? How is the rpi wired to the teensy? Thanks very much, respect.

[@anninrobotics]

the teensy board takes in serial commands. there is some info on this in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJTOhZ1mnZp_pKc please email me if you have any other questions, I dont always catch all questions from youtube comments [e-mail]

[@wizurai_engineering]

Very nice works, Chris! Is this fully open source?

[@anninrobotics]

Its shared source - free for education, personal, automating your own business - pretty much anything you want. All I ask is that people not resell my software and files for profit and not resell my robot parts for profit. If someone wants to sell an automated process that has my robot as part of it all I ask is that the robot parts be purchased from the website. There is a copyright / license file on the website if you want to look at it.

[@MakerVn1]

This is my dream robotic arm.

[@povilasvaiciulis7931]

will AR4 software will be compeatable with custom robots ? like AR2 was ?

[@nicholascarssow4800]

Hello! Great robot, Ive had a blast building it thus far! I just got to the software interface and when I run the tests from this video, no numbers pop up at all. it just states that the program is running in green letters. any help would be appreciated!

[@anninrobotics]

Hello, I had some issues with the alarm messages and in the last update moved the number to show up in the manual entry field - do you see the test values there? please email me at [e-mail] - I don't always see all the youtube comments but want to make sure I can help out.

[@nghiaoantrung9341]

Good project. Thanks for share

[@21area21]

Hey Chris. I noticed the Teensy comes with a blink sketch. However, after uploading the AR4 code, it no longer displays any lights. Do you think it would be possible to reenable the blinking loop for the LED so it can be used for debugging if issues arise down the road (a short for instance)?

[@anninrobotics]

I think a blink could be added to the sketch. I'll look at that on the next update.

Can i use arduino instead of tennsy?

[@josephjeanbaptistemvogoaha4734]

Hello Christ, you are doing a fantastic job. I'm learning 3D printing, and I want to buy a printer that can print some parts of this robot; please can you advise a particular printer? I appreciate any help you can provide.

[@anninrobotics]

There are a lot of great printers out there, alot of people prefer the prusa, I have alot of people that use the ender3. I have an Anycubic megaS which I like because it's low cost, has dual bed rails and z axis screws and been a solid unit for me.

[@josephjeanbaptistemvogoaha4734]

@@anninrobotics great, thanks for your reply. I will try to design the AR3 robot; I hope you will guide me on this journey😀

[@pheanoukmarady138]

hii, i have a question about the ethernet cables, I was wondering if i can use the robot without the ethernet connection because right now im running a nema 17 motor and yeah thanks for taking your time to answer this, Thanks

[@krgteachengineering9424]

Hi Chris. You doing next level stuff. Appreciated. Can you share the 2D drawing in your website.

[@yogaprasetyo4031]

Hi Chris Awesome.... what's difference of structural arm AR3 robot??? just only stepper motor ???

[@anninrobotics]

Yes that is correct, mechanically they are the same. the new motors are the same just with factory encoders added.

[@aw2926]

Does the Software allow conveyor tracking and conveyor following with the help of an external conveyor mounted encoder?

[@Falinaschi]

It works with RoboDK?

[@moisesmanuelmorinhevia.8774]

Love.

[@yesiamuchihasasage197]

hello sir, i have builded the robot but using the tb6600 driver, and it seems teensy can only output 3.3v and not 5v.. so is there any solutions to this problem?, any help would be greatly appreciated

[@michaelzajac5284]

Did you downloaded the Robodk?

[@anninrobotics]

RoboDK is still working on the driver, I contacted them yesterday and they are swamped with other projects but hope to get it online soon.

Какая стоимость ?

[@XuanHoaofficial2106]

Hello Chris. Could I control the 3D printed 6-axis stepper motor AR2 Robot by Teensy 4.1 and AR4 version program without an Encoder for a stepper motor ? Because I have created the 3D printed 6-axis stepper motor AR2 Robot. Thank you.

[@anninrobotics]

Yes you can, you would just run the motors in open loop mode in the software.

[@XuanHoaofficial2106]

@@anninrobotics Hello Chris, Thank you very much. I'm really looking forward to your upgrade with the RoboDK. And maybe I will make a new version of AR4 with the control RoboDK software.

[@HuyLe-zi1sz]

Hi Chris, Can AR2 robot work with AR4 software?

[@anninrobotics]

You could run the motors in open loop mode in the software but you would need to upgrade to a teensy 4.1 or to control the robot.
