Rubik’s Cube Robot

WIP - OT Vinta’s response & Power issue

  • My analysis on the servos twitting - ruling out the problem to 1) Maestro controller board, 2) Configuration issue with the controller board, 3) Servo/power issue

  • 12/16 - received response from OT Vinta - 1) Ensure power supplier is 12V and 3A, 2) Grip & Arm need to be configured to have a tighter hold of the Rubik’s Cube, 3) Recommend changing to the newer camera. which have far less configuration issues

  • 12/19 - Received another Maestro 12 Channel board (for learning and testing). Tried the new board with the R.Cube Robot - problem still exist. Ruled out the possibility of the controller board being faulty. Strongest possibility is now 1) Power issues - ordered portable variable power supply (1.5-12V, 5A), 2) Maestro controller software - as I am not 100% on the software, there is still a small possibility that I may have configured it wrong somewhere.. However it is less likely as the issue gets better when I’ve tested it with the variable power supply at the MakerSpace.

  • Troubleshooting these types of problem is what engineers do - We should not get frustrated. These are like solving puzzle. In a way, I am solving this puzzle of fixing the CubeSolving Robot :)
