I have been trying out Bittle's robot arm attachment between projects, and I figured I would put all feedback in one place, as I am sure to come across more issues and fixes.
Issue 1: Gripper mirroring. When using the skill composer program, it appears that exporting a mirrored skill also inverts the claws open/close position, which it should not do.
Issue 2: Sagging servos. We have discussed this before, Bittle's legs give way after a few seconds of maintaining the same position, as does the gripper. I understood that this is a safety mechanism to prevent overheating, but it's also difficult to program skills for the arm when the body keeps sinking. Using the test stand could be a solution, but I'd lose track of the height of the gripper relative to the ground.
Issue 3: Control precision. I see that there is now a joypad controller available, but I prefer to make the arm work without specialised equipment. The easiest solution I've tried so far is to add buttons to the android app to slow down the gaits (token ','), and to take one step left or right from a standstill, to better align the gripper with an object. The latter two skills can be copied to the android app if you save the content below into two ".md" files and open them on your android device.
