I made a machine that spools wire from a large spool onto a smaller one with ODrives. This is my first time using these motors or making this kind of machine. Bit of a rats nest. Lots of improvements to make. Big inspiration from @Robot_Brains

HelloWorld! Humanoid robot arm + hand made in ~7 weeks in an apartment 🤖 All joints back drivable. Mostly 3D printed. metal cycloidal reducers. 70 Nm shoulder torque (excessive i know 😅) and 30 Nm bicep/wrist. 11 DOF hand. Next step: tele-op & training! #humanoid #robotics

Some chunky 3D Prints with @lulzbot3D 1.2mm nozzles and @3D_Fuel Pro PLA+, and some mounts for @ODriveRobotics S1 drivers and motors. Should have about 6KW of power! #machine #3dprinted #bldc #brushless #mechanical #testing #project

Testing the ODrive-S1 with dual encoders on my 3D printed two stage planetary gearbox! Printed on the Bambu X1C printer in PolyMaker PA12-CF The white gears are printed in igus i150 material. @ODriveRobotics @Polymaker_3D @BambulabGlobal @igus_Inc #3DPrinted #gearbox

Hi! Tested one of ODrives with the rear differential. Now I have regen brakes, very fun to play with. Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad!

Thank you @ODriveRobotics, Not only for the exceptional drives, but also for providing all the accessories available at your store and the incredibly fast delivery. Together, we’re going to build some epic UGVs very soon!

I am developing smaller versions of my 3D printed compound planetary actuator for stepper motor. Right now I am experimenting with 3D printed cross roller bearing. They will have external diameter of 184mm, 138mm and 100mm. #skyentific #robotics #diy #3dprinted

Do you use an @ODriveRobotics motor controller in your robot? A user just open sourced a new ROS2 Control hardware interface! It supports position, velocity, and torque control. Check it out: discourse.ros.org/t/announci…

How many ODrives would an ODrive drive if an ODrive could drive ODrives? Well there's six in tomorrow's YouTube video - coming up at 7am UK time Tuesday! #odrive @ODriveRobotics #robotics #realrobot #arduino #cnc #3dprinting

New US tariffs are anti-Maker and will encourage offshoring. Taxes on basic components and tools punish US-based makers & educators, while outsourced supply chains are protected, ostensibly to insulate consumers from cost increases. In-depth analysis at bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=53….

That's not a terminal block.... THIS is a terminal block! 232A monster from @PhoenixContactU on 6L PCB. Must need a big-ass soldering iron.
