Hello, sorry for the delay. Yes, I use the version without the Wi-Fi module, so it should work for you.
Did you follow all the steps in this guide? http://thor.angel-lm.com/documentation/firmware/#fly-super8proYou say you’re using Asgard. I assume you mean this one: https://github.com/AngelLM/Asgard. If so, are you using the FlySuper8 branch version (https://github.com/AngelLM/Asgard/tree/FlySuper8)?
Let’s see if we can get to the root of the problem!Sorry for the delay in responding. I will check the purchase links as soon as possible. Thank you for posting those alternatives!
Hello, from the Downloads section you could access the GitHub repositories for the different parts of the project, but I just saw that the plugin I used for that has unfortunately stopped working. Below are the links to the project where you can find all the source files:
https://github.com/AngelLM/Thor
https://github.com/AngelLM/ThorControlPCB
https://github.com/AngelLM/Thor-ROS
https://github.com/AngelLM/AsgardI will try to fix it as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Oh! I hope you find the cause of the problem soon and can fix it. When you have it ready, don’t forget to share a video or photo so I can post it on the Worldwide section 🙂
Hi Jonathan, welcome to the Thor community! What an impressive setup you have! Hahaha. The good news is that you’ve already gotten the most tedious part out of the way. Now it’s time to get down to business and assemble Thor! Good luck with the process!
Hello Almas, welcome to the Thor community! I’m glad you like the project and are building your own Thor 🙂
Hello,
First things first: If you want to use Asgard with the Flysuper8 board, you have to use the files from the “FlySuper8” branch of the Github repository: https://github.com/AngelLM/Asgard/tree/FlySuper8
I think that will solve the communication problem. I’ll edit the documentation ASAP to clarify that.Regarding the board being too big… Which BaseBoxBody file did you use? Is it possible that you printed the BaseBoxBody.stl and not the mod called BaseBoxBody-FlySuper8Pro.stl (https://github.com/AngelLM/Thor/blob/main/mods/stl/BaseBoxBody-FlySuper8Pro.stl)?
I feel like the latter may be my fault, and I apologize. I may not have made it clear that if you are going to use that board instead of the Control PCB, you have to print that modification instead of the one recommended by default. Sorry again.
Hi Adamson, I’m very sorry I didn’t see your message until now. Sorry for the delay in responding.
From the photo, I can see that the Art2BodyA part is positioned further out than it should be (looking at the photo, the Art2BodyA part should be about 2-3mm further to the right).If you don’t mind, please check the following points:
– Check that the gears on the joint 2 motors mesh perfectly with the gear crown on the Art2BodyA part.
– Check that those same gears are correctly inserted into the motor shaft and that they are not pushing the Art2BodyA part outward.
– Check the length of the smooth rod that acts as the shaft on that side of the joint. If it is longer than it should be, it will push the Art2BodyA part outward.Best regards, and apologies again for the delay in replying.
Hello MrKnight, I apologize for the delay in seeing this message. We have already spoken on Discord and are resolving the issues with the AliExpress links.
In any case, since the question of whether this project is recommended for someone without previous experience in robotics and electronics comes up often, I will respond here as well, in case it helps other users.
It makes a lot of sense to ask it, since embarking on a project like this requires investing a lot of time and some money.
I would say that it depends a little on what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for a precise robotic arm to do ‘real’ tasks, I would say that there are better options if you can invest more money.
In my opinion, this project strikes a balance between ease of construction, a low budget, and decent robot capabilities (and a community that can answer questions).As for whether it is possible to complete the project as a beginner, my answer is that if you are enthusiastic and willing to learn, then yes, without a doubt.
There is documentation on how to carry out the project and we can help you and answer questions, but there will probably be times when you have to learn new things to build the robot and that will depend entirely on you.That said, I will tell you the same thing I tell everyone else. It is a long project to complete, probably taking months. You will learn a lot along the way that will surely be useful for other projects, and the result will certainly not disappoint you. Think it over carefully, and if you are sure, go for it! 🔥
Welcome to the Thor community, Marcelo 😉
I’m so glad you like the project! We’ll be waiting for your updates if you decide to build your own Thor!Best regards!
Hello and welcome to the community 🙂
I’m glad you like the project, I hope that, if you finally decide to build a Thor, you’ll keep us updated on your progress!Best regards!
Hello!
Sorry for the delay in responding. Which version of Asgard are you using? The one from this repository?Did you use the “master” branch or the “FlySuper8” branch?
Best regards!
Hello Hasan!
First of all, thank you very much for your words and sorry for the delay in answering!
Let’s go in parts to try to solve the problems you are experiencing, and for that I need you to give me a little more information:
– For the electronics, are you using ThorPCB and an Arduino Mega?
If yes:
– Have you jumpered the ThorPCB connector that would normally go to pin 41 of the Arduino Mega to pin 7 instead as the diagram in the electronics documentation indicates?
– Have you flashed the GRBL firmware modified to work with Thor?
– Have you configured the $$ parameters as explained in the firmware documentation?On the other hand:
– What do you mean by the temperature detection system?
– What alarm does the application give you when you press the home button?Let’s see if with more information we can solve the problem 😉
The connection of the On/Off button is indicated in the diagrams of the electronics documentation. The other button, serves a little for the function you want to perform, in my case I have it connected to one of the IO pins of the board and I have assigned the Homing command, so when I press it the robot is placed in the Home position.
