• [ ] Orbita Neck Joint
    • [ ] Driven by 3 DC Maxon Motors

      1. DC Maxon Motor https://www.maxongroup.com/maxon/view/product/gear/planetary/gp16/118184 (from orbita BOM) and https://www.maxongroup.com/maxon/view/product/motor/dcmotor/DC-max/DC-max16/DC-MAX16S01EBKL721
      2. Positioning Controllers: https://www.maxongroup.com/maxon/view/news/MEDIARELEASE-EPOS2-Positioning-Controllers
      3. 1 Controller per Motor with Pi? https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=238904
      4. Pollen uses these components for each motor: Unclear how they relate
        1. Luos DC Motor Board (Connect up to 2 motors) — https://www.generationrobots.com/en/403429-luos-dc-motor-board.html
        2. Pololu magnetic encoder — https://www.pololu.com/category/201/encoders
    • [ ] Joint (3D) Parts + Components Count: 18 For Orbita Main (Reference: Onshape)

      1. Question: 2 BOM lists from Pollen (https://www.notion.so/Orbita-4684f37c60e64bd2ae8ca747c3333cde)

        1. 47 vs. 34 parts? (Full Neck)
      2. Ball joint actuator that is composed of a parallel mechanism motorized by 3 DC Maxon motors. The control of each motor is done with a Pololu magnetic encoder and an LUOS DC motor module.

      5. 18 Components in Orbita Neck: 2 Custom Pollen PCBs, 1 Spacer, 1 Ring, 1 Hex Motor, 3 Types of Round Gears/Pinions

      6. 8 Unique Components for 3D FDM? Printing

        a. Disk (Flip Upside Down, with Supports on Outer Side)

        b. Top* (May Want to Cut in 1/2, and Create Joint)

        c. Bottom* (May Want to Cut in 1/2, like Top and Create Joint)

        d. Cap Print (Flip, with Supports for Lip?)

        e. Arm (Circle w/ Brim, May End Up with Support on Outer Tube But Fairly Straight Up)

        f. Tip (As is, fairly flat in shape)

        g. Zeros (As is, enough build on plate w/ Brim and Slope is Gradual)

        h. 3 Disk Heads* (Tricky can't tell unless it's sliced)
