  [LDCad] Custom flex object question
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2019-08-30, 13:35 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (4)

I guess this is a question for Roland but anyone else can chime in.

Attached is a template and donor parts for a custom flex object I created for 8458. It basically mimics 2 flex axles connected by a static part. The allows LDCad to position and rotated the connecting piece along the path curve. My question is this: can I make the axles on either side of the static center different lengths?

  MOC: EV3 robot moves like a computer Avatar in 2-Dim
Posted by: ivarsson - 2019-08-29, 12:13 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - No Replies

Hi.

I finally managed to build my EV3 omni/holonimic telerobot with anti collision-system. If you drive to close to anything it stop and reverse a bit, if needed. Sensitivity and reverse is adjustable.
I will equippe them with laser tag weapons and laser aim system and so on.
GIF picture on how it can work.    Smile
[Image: Ol2gkzL3Tl.gif]
It can be remote controlled over the internet with live camera stream, so it is a internet camera robot, (that moves like a computer avatar in FPS computer game).
It can be controlled over the internet from a mobile phone, ipad or computer, from a browser.
I plan to build a internet game so that you can log in to robots and have a game with them like in [color=#1e79a7]https://www.isotopium.com/  . [/color]
I did this on ADSL already 2005 and had people playing with my robots from all over the world.
Here is one guy in Australia that explain how it was 2005.

You can build it  your selfe. 
You need a
1. Mindstorms robot 
2. Building instructions.  [color=#1e79a7]http://thetechnicgear.com/2014/04/howto-build-3-wheels-holonomic-robot-using-lego/[/color]
3. An android phone with a Google app called RoboCam.   [color=#1e79a7]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.proghouse.robocam&hl=en_US   [/color]
4. 3 Omni wheels and 3 Large Servo Motor.
5. 4 Ultrasonic Sensors 
6. You dont need laser tag weapons. There is a android app called RealTag that use picture analisys to detect hits.  


Questions?
Do you like the project?

  Hose routing advice
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2019-08-28, 16:27 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (1)

Attached is a sample of hose routing from a current project.

Here's the scale from the instructions:
   

Ribbed hose 1 (the 3 middle hoses) are magenta dotted in the instructions. The online inventory for this part this would correspond to Flat Silver Hose, Ribbed 7mm D. 9L
Ribbed hose 2 (the shorter hose to the right) is orange dotted. The online inventory for this part this would correspond to Flat Silver Hose, Ribbed 7mm D. 7L
Ribbed hose 3 (the longer hose to the left) is green dotted. The online inventory for this part this would correspond to Flat Silver Hose, Ribbed 7mm D. 18L

I have a couple of issues:
- The hoses overlap other components. How do others deal with this issue?
- The hose lengths in the instructions vs. actual model appear to not be correct, especially for hose 2. I have this set (8458) but it's packed up somewhere and I can readily verify.

Note: the attached MPD will only work in LDCad since I have fallback code turned off.

Posted by: Cam's Bricks - 2019-08-28, 7:05 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (5)

Hello,

Would it be possible to get this part into the library?

I have attached a front and back photo. The ramp goes down to 3 LDU tall at its lowest. 

Thanks,
Cameron

  [split] Proposed change to sticker spec for transparent stickers
Posted by: Magnus Forsberg - 2019-08-21, 15:21 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (6)

(2019-08-16, 1:17)Travis Cobbs Wrote: There are so many replies here, can you repost as a response to this message ....

I can't find any example in the library of a sticker where the white top surface isn't modeled in colour 15 (white).
We seam to not follow the standard, and the practice is accepted. And with pattern printed on transparent plastic, the need for allowing the use of colour 16 on the top surface is clear.


https://www.ldraw.org/article/339.html
  • "The sticker pattern is modelled in its true colours; they are not modifiable from the outside. All printed colours of the pattern must be matched, and the background (non-printed portion) of the pattern must use colour 16. Mimicking a colour by blending in the background colour of the part underneath using colour 16 is not allowed."

I' want to change to this:
  • "The sticker pattern is modelled in its true colours; they are not modifiable from the outside. All colours of the top surface must be matched, and the back side and sides of the sticker must use colour 16. Print on transparent plastic sheet should use colour 16 on the transparent part of the top surface."

  ldrawloader - C/C++ open-source loader
Posted by: Christoph Kubisch - 2019-08-18, 11:10 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (2)

Hi,
if anyone is searching for a self-contained ldraw loader, I have recently open-sourced a hobby project. It doesn't come with all the bells and whistles to the various Ldraw features yet, but should be useful nevertheless.

https://github.com/pixeljetstream/ldrawloader

It also implements chamfered hard edges for better rendering quality, for that purpose additional "fixes" are done to the models.
