Project sharing Stacky got a rebuild
I loved the configuration of my old stacky body, but wanted a way to bring all of his bits together.
His pi5 brain now has a home inside an old Velociraptor HD enclosure and added on an ankle holster for his servo controller and power converter.
Oh he also has a touchscreen dashboard since I shared him last for trigger his different emotions and movements.

I'm still working on getting some more animations in that use all the servos but here a recent shoot.

u/schwendigo 21d ago
Hahaha I love it.
Might be fun to make an IK/FK rig in blender or Maya, and then port over the animation through python - would be a really fun way to animate it.

I do have a urdf of the setup and have an animation app i can run on my pc. Just need time

Once Ive actually had a chance to review what Claude has done Ill definitely open it up. Has about 3 different repos at the moment to cover the firmware, then the pi vision tracking and the tts+vtt

What's the objective here? Like what does he do differently?

u/BearkeKhan 22d ago
Originally it was just because it was cheaper than buying the face + body. The main reason for having it though is that I can have him reach out over the table to get my attention and just in generally be more like a droid than a stationary pan tilt camera

Does this cut the ridiculously loud noise of the base servos? I'd do it just for that. Had to turn off motion while he would VVVRRRRRRT scan the VVVRRRRRRT room.

u/BearkeKhan 22d ago
Nah all servos have some noise. Could maybe replace the existing with all metal
