To a limited extent, it is possible to design for specific tolerances when 3D printing. This is particularly important when parts need to be inserted into others with high locational accuracy or an interference fit. This page is to record results of speci

IMG_4859.jpg This board is a flexible platform with a variety of I/O for different applications and has been designed to be used either as a standalone platform or in conjunction with a Raspberry Pi. Included are: Socketed Arduino Nano 33 BLE Socketed Pol

The Arduino Servo Harness board is an Arduino-Nano based development board designed to interface with up to six servomotors. It can interact with the two GPIO control pins of the EVA robot arms in the P/T/410 laboratory through the standard M8 female tool

Hardware Electronics Safety System The power to the system is controlled from a safety box, which must never be bypassed or defeated in any way. BK safety box.png The box contains a 24V safety relay which controls a contactor in the main power supply unit

In this document you will find details on what BLE is and how it can be used in the context of the Arduino Robotics Board using the Arduino Nano 33 BLE and the ArduinoBLE library, although this information applies to any project using the Arduino Nano 33

Although the ArduinoBLE library offers a quick way to get started with BLE on the Arduino Nano 33 BLE, you may wish to instead use the underlying mbed libraries. These give you more control over the hardware, and in particular allow you to set a higher tr

As part of the summer Group Robotics Project you will be required to keep your parts and manufacturing costs within a budget. The budgets will be separate for parts and manufacturing. Funds cannot be transferred between the two. All requests will be revie

In order to estimate the cost of a 3D printed part, you need to know it's volume. This can be found in Inventor using the following steps: In the left hand pane expand the “Solid Bodies” folder: Calculating Volume in Inventor.png Right Click on the solid

You can communicate with your robot either through serial or over a network connection. Serial is usually the most reliable form of communication, but it is slow and only allows access to the text terminal. Connecting using a network connection, either Wi

When designing a part or assembly of parts that will be manufactured it is important to take into account the capabilities of the manufacturing process for you part to be successful. This includes both taking advantage of a process' strengths, and designi
