The Ultimate Revolute Joint could be reused for a multitude of applications.
Mechanics:
- will be a stepper motor driving a 3d printed cycloidal drive
- will have a python script to generate the cycloid for the mechanical design
Electronics:
- will be a MOSFET PIC controlled with a magnetometer for closed loop control
Programming:
- will be in C for xc8 PIC which have input UART/I2C/SPI exact angle command and using a damped exact closed loop control algorithm will drive the mosfets using the correct sequence to get the revolute joint to wanted angle.
- will have a python script to easily communicate to the pic through a ttl converter or a micropython board using CLI and GUI to visualize
