He/She looks like he/she uses EMAX's servo, and it is perfectly succeeded.

In addition beforehand, we have not used a 3.3V control signals.

Thanks for a valuable suggestion! We will think about it.

GitHub has a function that notifies you when the repository is updated.

Hi, DaleTai

Actually, all *.SLDASM files have been published for reference.
We hope that users will upload it on GitHub yourself :)
FYI -> https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/

PLEN2.stl is created by Blender, and the CAD is a tolerant 3DCAD than other 3DCAD.
If you open it with other 3DCAD, almost probably happens the problem X(

#104 Re: Any Questions » Firmware installation » 2015-12-22 06:23:02

For confirmation, have you edit the firmware?

I found a mistake that end of your line 148 is pipe(= |) but it is not semi-colon(= ;).

Hi, pdpw

I have tested same environment, but I have got no errors...

You could get Arduino IDE ver.1.6.5 from following link.

Would you tell me that the problem is happening even if to install the firmware in the enviroment?

#106 Re: Report Bugs » SolidWorks files missing » 2015-12-19 06:09:11

Hi, Microcan

Thanks for reporting the issue.
Our 3DModel engineer will fix this problem. Please wait for a follow-up :)

#107 Re: Any Questions » What servos are used? » 2015-12-19 05:50:24

Hi, Microcan

Actually, we are using the servos which satisfies same specification ASV-15 has.
For example, ASV-15, ES08-MD, and so on.

#108 Re: Any Questions or Impressions » Source model files? » 2015-12-12 03:03:58

Hi, rocha

We have been applying the development process that using Blender for the high design quality parts and using SolidWorks for mechanism elements, so you should use both 3DCAD.

In the future, all parts will be implemented by SolidWorks.

Hi, PLEN users :)

Today, I have published PLEN2's firmware version 1.3.0 and its API guides.
-> http://plenproject.github.io/plen__firm … r_Arduino/

I translated all comments in English, but these don't seem to be natural or understanding easily...
If you wouldn't mind, please give me some advice X(

Thank you for the information! This is quiete useful :)

We will test in due course.

Hi, klaus4040

Thank you for your cheering! We work for people get more fun through PLEN, always have, always will :)

Just for confirmation, are you using "Scenography"?
If that's the case, you don't have to pair a phone and PLEN :)
(We have implemented the communication method based on Bluetooth smart, so pairing process is done automatically.)

#113 Re: Any Questions » サーボモーターの原点設定 » 2015-11-29 04:30:56

# Japanese
原点調整は以下の手順で行います。
1. 最新版のControlServerをダウンロードします。
   → https://github.com/plenproject/plen__co … tag/v1.3.0
2. PLENとお手持ちのPCをUSBケーブルで接続します。
3. Windowsユーザの方はserver.exe,Macユーザの方はserver.appを起動します。
4. Windowsユーザの方はPLENUtilities.url,Macユーザの方はPLENUtilities.weblocを起動します。
5. 各関節のスライダーを動かし、PLENが起立姿勢になるよう調整します。
6. HOMEボタンを押すことで、調整した原点を保持します。(MIN,MAXの調整は基本的に必要ありません。)

また今後、詳しいマニュアルについても公表されますのでご安心ください。
(具体的には、キャスト形成版のPLEN2が出荷される際には全て出揃う予定です。)

# English
Configuration of the servos is done by using PLENCheck or PLENUtilities. (The details are listed below.)
1. Download latest vesion Control Server.
2. Connect your PLEN with USB (type micro B) cable.
3. Run server.exe (for Win) or server.app (for Mac).
4. Open PLENUtilities.url (for Win) or PLENUtilities.webloc (for Mac).
5. Please move each servo's sliders until PLEN will be standing straightly.
6. A home position is saved if you click "HOME" button. (You may not configure min and max position basically.)

All manuals will be uploaded within a month. Please wait for a while.

#114 Re: Any Questions » Print Details » 2015-11-20 09:33:52

Hi, John

We have no plans to give users print details for Head and Body at this point in time, because we hope that we make the manual after to develop has finished perfectly, but those are under development now, so please be looking forward.

Print detail for servo_horn_rev1_through_hole.stl is defined same as ones which servo_horn_rev1.stl has.

#115 Re: Any Questions » Bill of materials » 2015-11-20 06:50:32

Hi, rocha

We have no plans to give users the BOM at this point in time, because we thought that necessary information was provided from eagle files, so please make it yourself until we will have had the opportune time.

#116 Re: Any Questions or Impressions » PLEN2 Developer Edition の仕様について » 2015-11-19 05:22:56

# Japanese
問題なくご利用いただけます :)

ただし注意点としては、developer edition は Intel Edison を使用する関係上、カスタマイズには本格的な知識が必要となります。
そして、私たちは基本的な機能は実装しユーザに公開しますが、それに関する細かいサポートは提供しない予定です。
(カスタマイズできる範囲があまりにも大きいため、必ずしも有益なアドバイスをすることができないと予想されるためです。)
developer edition の購入に際しては、その点をご容赦,ならびにご検討ください。

# English
Post title in English : Could you tell me about specifications of the developer edition?
===
Those are available without a problem :)

However, To customize the developer edition requires a full-fledged knowledge because it is using Intel Edison,
and We provide basic implementation for it to users, but their support will be not provided from us.
(Its customization contains the large range, so We might be unable to give you any useful advice.)

If you would purchase the developer edition, please consider the points which were described before.

#117 Re: Report Bugs » Issues - Control server with bluetooth support on mac » 2015-11-19 05:11:36

Hi, wuulong

The problem seems to be happen by connecting BLE or scanning peripheral.
Maybe it is going to success by trying following.

#118 Re: Report Bugs » Quick fix : Control server - server.py » 2015-11-19 04:54:51

Hi, wuulong.

Thanks for reporting the issue, and the method which fixes it.
I never saw a bug like the issue, so I interested in when happen the phenomenon.

Would you tell me that the problem is happening even if to call the methods only in your enviroment?
For example, what is a result when running the code below?
```python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import socket

print socket.gethostname()
print socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
```

#119 Re: Any Questions » サーボモーターの原点設定 » 2015-11-16 13:55:22

# Japanese
基本的には、スイッチを入れた状態でまっすぐ立つようであれば初期位置の調整に問題はありません。

より細かい検証には、以下の条件を加味します。
- 「歩き」のモーションを再生してみて、転ばないか
- 「歩き」のモーションを再生してみて、手が腰に過剰に擦り付けられないか
- 「拍手」のモーションを再生してみて、両手が接しパチパチという音がなるか

また、分解せずに初期位置の微調整を行うためのツールとして、「PLEN Check」というものがあります。
For Android → https://github.com/plenproject/plen__PL … d/releases

PC版については微調整中なので、いましばらくお待ちください。(明日にはリリースできるかと思います。)

# English
Post title in English : How can I configure servos home position?
===

There are no problems in tuning of home positions if PLEN is standing straightly.

To tune in more detail, please consider following conditions.
- Even if play "walking" motion, PLEN does not fall to the ground.
- Even if play "walking" motion, PLEN's hands does not rub on her waist.
- By to play a motion, PLEN's hands touch each other, and it sounds "Clap! Clap!".

We provide users a tool that configures PLEN's joints without re-assembling, and its named "PLEN Check".
For Android -> https://github.com/plenproject/plen__PL … d/releases

One for PC is under minor adjustment, so please wait a little.

Hi, Guiller
Thanks for reporting the method which fixes the problem.

By seeing your post, I thought it almost certainly happens by a preprocessing bug in the Arduino IDE.
I will report the issue to Arduino team.

P.S.
I found that the same problem has been posted on the repository.

Hi, kinose.

#124 Re: Any Questions » Fading LED eyes » 2015-11-03 14:00:04

Hi Tueddy,

PLEN2's headboard has a micro-controller to communicate with other BLE devices.
We have developed a function in the controller that is blinking led like a wink as a sense of fun :)

However, users might not be able to customize it because should use additional SDK released from Bluegiga Inc..
We will publish the firmware, but its customization is not easy than the Arduino, so we are cheering if you want to understand the mechanism.

Please be looking forward ;)

#125 Re: Feature Requests » TTS » 2015-10-22 08:53:15

We get a chance when we get a suggestion from users, so we welcome no matter what someone thinks good or bad.

Thank you for your suggestion, and we are looking forward :)
