      That is true. Machine learning is much more optimal here. I was just stating that you could 'technically' pull it off with standard code.

    Definitely a cool project and well made. However I must warn you: servos don't like to be moved by hand. It can in fact kill the servo for good. They have no protection from the large voltage spikes that can occur in the motor windings when the servo shaft is rotated by hand. I've killed two servos accidentally this way. So beware, this might be detrimental to the health of the servos.

      Thank you for this warning. Do you know a simple solution without such a problem? Are the typical steper motor drivers protected? Or is it possilbe to solder something to the sevomotor to add protection (a relay might work but seems to be a little bit overengenieered?).

      @@michaegi4717 Unfortunately no, I don't see a solution. Servos were really never intended to be backdriven like this, thus they have a habit of breaking. Some servos tolerate it longer than others, but you never really know. I think stepper motors would be a better choise. They're pretty much servos but can rotate infinitely. Only problem is that they need some sort of indication of the zero position of the shaft. Some steppers come prebuilt with an encoder that tells them what position they're in and if they lose steps.

    Removing the delay on this and having it sat on the desk, wired to a controller to copy real inputs would be a great way to show the inputs a fighting game player is making in real time without blockage from their hands.
    I'm sure some of the streamers would be willing to pay for something like that, assuming it's not an incredibly high price.

    • @nimoy007
      @nimoy007 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The reason this works is because the servo can read its position, and I assume the delay is to allow it to determine that you have stopped providing input and that you are ready for the bot to repeat your actions. It isn't really designed to do what you're asking of it.
