The MSG gripper uses FOC stepper motors without gearboxes, enabling precise control of gripping force and accurate detection of forces applied by or to the gripper. It is designed for modern embedded AI applications and teleoperation. All hardware designs are open source.

MSG gripper + PAROL6 -> Ball drop 🏀🏀 github.com/PCrnjak/MSG-co…

Github repo of the project: github.com/PCrnjak/MSG-co… Any feedback is Appreciated!

Our MSG force-feedback gripper is in beta release! Gripper uses closed loop FOC stepper and supports 3 different stepper sizes and 3 different linear rail sizes! It is designed for Embodied AI, teleoperation and compliant applications. Code and design files are open source!

This is Phantom Omni. It is 20 Years old haptic force feedback device used for Robotics. Got it "Broken" without cables, but got it working + Made a python library and guide on how to use it! Soon we will have some robot demos controlled by this!😀

We’re excited to announce that our STEPFOC stepper motor drivers are now available in beta release. STEPFOC brings Field-Oriented Control (FOC) to stepper motors — transforming them from open-loop systems into high-performance robotic servos, comparable to industrial solutions.

This is awesome user build of web based GUI for PAROL6. It is open source and you can check it out here: github.com/jointAxis77/pi…

@IlirAliu_ Thank you for sharing! 🦾😁

3D printed differential robot arm wrist. [👇 GitHub Link - Open Source ] High demand, so they open sourced it early. A differential mechanism released as a test fixture for future robots. Built around their Spectral micro BLDC driver. Parts, STL files, example code are already out there. Good example of sharing engineering before it is polished.

New compliant grippers with FOC based stepper motors. Can be easily modified with different linear rails for different grasp area and different stepper size for more torque. Open sourcing soon 🦾🦾

WEB based GUI for our PAROL6 made by one of our discord users! Check the github link and try it out: github.com/Jepson2k/PAROL…

@jacobuter I dont think this will increase performance. This is one of our users project so we shall see how it ends up.

@SourceRobotics Definitely an interesting idea. My question would if this "upgrade" is even necessary for the Parol6 system or would even decrease it functionality by adding weight but also the fundamental changing the objective of your project: Beeing inexpensive and easy to build yourself?

Aluminum PAROL6? 🤔🤔

An amazing user build of PAROL6 using GEMINI, INTEL RealSense cameras and OpenCV. Its fully open source and you can read more in these github links! Repo of the project: github.com/AlvarEhr/PAROL… Repo of the PAROL6 python API: github.com/PCrnjak/PAROL6…

@ivishaltejwani @jacobuter How fast what?

@SourceRobotics @jacobuter how fast?

A little sneak peak into our closed loop FOC based stepper drivers

@jacobuter They have basically that higher torque and precision. More control over them (position, speed torque, compliance...)

@SourceRobotics Very cool, what advantages does this bring to stepper motors? I know bldc have higher torque and very precise control.

@5U8Z3R0 @Raistlin That is exactly right haha. It is based on spectral micro haradware and software like 95% of the code and hardware is the same and API and commands are the same

@Raistlin @SourceRobotics I think it’s like the Spectral Micro BLDC controller. It basically daisy-chains the NEMAs, and at the end you have a UART/CAN adapter to USB.

@Raistlin You need only 24V and CAN bus connection. In theory you can control this motor with any device that supports CAN bus. It has basically all the functions of industrial servo like position, speed, torque control and much more We will release beta batch by the end of the year

@SourceRobotics I can plug my default NEMA17 into it, and it reports torque and position. All it needs is 24V and 5V. How can my ESP32 talk to that controller?
