Hat schon jemand erfolgreich neue Zutaten/Cocktails hinzugefügt? Hatte bei Cocktails in der drinks.py Datei zwar halbwegs Erfolg, aber sobald ich neue Zutaten in der database.py hinzugefügt habe und neue Cocktails mit diesen Zutaten erstellen will, kommt es zu Problemen. Gibt es eine Weitere Datei in der ich die "Ingredients" anpassen muss? Hatte ebenfalls das Problem, dass ich bei der Umbenennung der Zutaten immernoch die alte Außgabe hatte, trotz neustart etc.

Hallo, finde das Projekt super und wage mich mal daran es nachzubauen. :)

Hat jemand vll einen Anschlussplan dazu? (Bin ein absoluter noob beim Anschließen der Hardware).

Habt Ihr 4-Leiter-Durchgangsklemmen benutzt?

Love a good Barbot, but never been a huge fan of perstaltic pumps. Usually too slow for my liking. The one I've been playing with, I have a rubber stopper with 2 drilled holes. A small hole for a small tube for air to be pumped into the bottle and a larger hole for a hose that goes to the bottom of the bottle. Air gets pumped in and pressure pushes the liquid out the hose.

If you want even more needless features get a magnetic stirrer as your cup platform. Drop a Magnetic stir bar in your glass and then when the drink comes in just turn the stirrer on and mix as you make.

Hi, I would like to build a Hector 9000 version with a larger hose diameter. I am thinking of 6 or 8mm. For this I would redesign the servo module and possibly construct the servo horn with 2 ball bearings to close the hoses.  Has anyone already considered a larger hose diameter? Do you see a problem that I may have overlooked?

Hi Olivier, depends on what is your intention of larger hoses. If you like to fill the glass quicker you can use a stronger pump with e.g. 260l/h. That is what I did and even Grenadine type of liquid fills really quick.

Hi Space-x, Thanks for the suggestion, yes I would like to fill the glass faster. Which pump do you use? 

Hi, I want to add an A/D Converter to my Hector for an extension. I like to use the MCP3008 that is connected by SPI I/F and there are drivers availabe e.g. from Adafruit. The problem with these drivers is that they all use the GPIO in GPIO.BCM mode which then conflicts with the GPIO.BOARD mode used in the Hector S/W. Does anybody have an idea (or MCP 3008 driver in GPIO.BOARD mode) how to solve this?

Many thanks in advance

I solved the problem already, issue is closed :-)

Hi, i have a Problem, i cant install the software and start it

I have the same problem with raspian-buster.

Several attempts to install shiboken2 were unsuccessful.

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement shiboken2==5.12.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 21)) (from version: )

No matching distribution found for shiboken2==5.12.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 21))

When I switch to MoveToDB Branch I get the same error message. Are there any ideas to work around this problem?
Thanks in advance for the support

Mm the shiboken2 is not in the requirements anymore . Plz check if you  clear the folder before switching .  I checked the Tests on TravisCI and there are no installation problems.

Englisch(short):

Ordered my Servos at hobbyking, like recommended, at 22.09.19 shipped From UK, now realized that the Label says "Towerpro" and not "Tower Pro" like the original Pictures from the Manufacturer. Rest of it looks good (Alu gear, imprinting "Tower Pro" in the Housing...)

Is there a good Reason for it or did I order fakes from the recommended Store?

Here is an example how my Servos look like: https://www.roboter-bausatz.de/3123/tower-pro-mg996r-digitaler-servo-motor-mit-metallgetriebe

German:

In eurer Anleitung steht, dass nur (am besten) original TowerPro Servos verbaut werden sollen. Ihr nennt hier den Shop von hobbyking, wo ich letztendlich auch meine Servos bestellt habe (shipped from UK, bestellt am 22.09.19, https://hobbyking.com/de_de/towerpro-mg996r-10kg-servo-10kg-0-20sec-55g.html?wrh_pdp=1 ).

Da diese bei Hobbyking seit langer Zeit für UK und EU ausverkauft sind habe ich mich nach alternativen Händlern umgeguckt und habe dabei auch jede menge Fakes gefunden und mich daher mit dem Thema deutlich mehr auseinander gesetzt.

Nun ist mir aufgefallen, dass auf meinen Servos von Hobbyking auf dem Label "Towerpro" steht und nicht "Tower Pro". Ansonsten sieht es original aus (Alu, eingeprägtes "Tower Pro" im Gehäuse...)

Gibt es hierfür eine Erklärung oder habe ich jetzt doch irgendwelche Fakes bestellt? Ich werde ja nicht als einziger dort bestellt haben.

So sehen die erhaltenen Servos von mir aus: https://www.roboter-bausatz.de/3123/tower-pro-mg996r-digitaler-servo-motor-mit-metallgetriebe

Is it possible to realize this project, without a 3D-Printer?

Have a nice Day

Finn

I don't get what you are asking for...

There a plenty of 3d printing fulfillment service out there. So ,Yes, it is possible.

Hallo Leute,

ich habe gerade mit dem Bau meines eigenen Hectors angefangen und habe gleich Probleme, dass die gedruckten dinge nicht passen.

Zum einen die Zungen für die Ventile. In PLA gedruckt passen die nicht, wie den auch, die Aussparung ist 3x1,6mm und die Zungen sind 3x1,6mm. Erst beim drucken mit TPU konnte ich die mit der Flexibilität des Materials überhaupt anbringen. Ist das so gewollt?

Dann hab ich ein Gehäuse für die Ventile gedruckt aber der 6x4mm Schlauch passt nicht durch, weil das loch auch nur 6 mm. Wie habt ihr den Schlauch da durch bekommen?

Achim

The tolerances of the parts are very tight. If you have trouble with them, you could try to scale the parts in your slicer. For example set the print size for the tongue to 98%.

For the tongues you should use Iglidur or PETG. The tribologic properties of TPU are not suitable in this case.

It is intended that there is a press-fit tolerance between the hoses and the valve body. To install the hoses, we cut one end of the hose diagonally. The diagonal cut shoud have a lenght of about 5cm.

Yes, with 97% it works and the trick with the diagonal cut also lead to success.

Now I have received all ordered parts for the scale, but I can assemble it. I am a programmer, so I not very firm with the mechanical parts, but I should assemble the scale through the table. So far, so good, but the hole in the box for the scale is to small and when I have the scale in the box, there is not enaugh place to put the HX711 inside the box. Is this because I have baught the wrong one or will the HX711 not be in the scale box?

Hallo Leute,

ich bin gerade am nachbauen vom Hector9000, aber ich habe Probleme mit der Software. Ich habe das neueste Raspbian (release 13.02.2020) installiert und habe versucht die Hector Software zu installieren, aber wenn die requirement.txt aufgerufen wird, bekomme ich einen Fehler in Zeile 21 (Shiboken2). Der Fehler ist wie folgt:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement shiboken2==5.12.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 21)) (from version: )

No matching distribution found for shiboken2==5.12.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 21))

Könnte mir da jemand weiterhelfen, würde mich echt freuen.

Danke und Grüße aus München

Hi, This is a error with python 3.8. The fix is already in my workingcopy. I hope it will find its way in main next week. ;-)

Thanks a lot 

Hi DevTown, I don´t want to bother you, but I need the new Software, because the hardware is ready and I want to test it.

Thanks

Hello,

do you already have a plan when you want to include the actions in the WebUI?

Greets Dennion

Das Projekt Hector9000 hat mir schon beim Lesen in der "MAKE:" gefallen und nach euren Berichten und Erfahrungen hier, habe ich mich an die Umsetzung gemacht.
Die Hardware und der Aufbau sind fertig, Danke auch an https://github.com/alesti.
Aber jetzt "hänge" ich bei der Software. 
Leider bin ich auch noch ein absoluter Rasbian-Anfänger und komm auch nach etlichen Forum Recherchen einfach nicht weiter.
Status: 
- Raspberry Pi 3B+ läuft mit Rasbian

- github repo Hector9000 und Hector9000WebUI geholt

- python 3 installiert

- start.sh (eigentlich alle *.sh Dateien) melden mit Thonny: "Syntax error" schon in der ersten ausführbaren Zeile

- Das in https://github.com/H3c702/Hector9000/blob/master/README.md genannte "cd srv" und "python3 main.py" existiert nicht.

- Im Terminal gestartete einzelne *.py Dateinen (z.B."python3 test_database.py") finden die Module nicht ("No Module named 'conf' ")

Ich glaube, da habe ich schon ganz am Anfang was falsch gemacht...
Gibt es irgendwo eine genauere Anleitung für die Software für Anfänger ?

vielen Dank schon im Voraus

Hey, wenn du Discord hast meld dich gerne mal bei mir im Discord. Dann kann ich dir da sicherlich weiterhelfen :)

Hallo Dennion, auf welchem Discord Server erreiche ich dich ?

The new version of our Software has changed a little. If you have any problems plz write a report on Github or a DM here. (Including what error and what version of Hector you are using) .

Hey, I'm also new here and I'm looking forward to build this project.

I'm a maker with less knowledge in programming. So is there a detailed description about the software and how the whole machine can get started by a newbie like me?

Best regards

Kai

Have a look at Github. The Readme should be a new Version. Hope that will help you.

Hallo Leute, wäre auf der Suche nach dem Gehäuse? Hat wer zufällig eine Skizze die er mir zusenden kann.

Danke im Voraus 

Hi. I'm new here and at the very beginning of building my own Hector9000, but anyway I want to ask you, what you are thinking about my thoughts. I want to design a foot part for the valve housing, so I don't have to saw and file rectangular holes in the plate, but only drill holes into it for screws.The valves then stick out more into the room by the height of the servos.

Don't you think, there should be a place where to put remixes , improvements and enhancements? And wouldn't it be the best to share the OpenSCAD files to force such improvements? That would be my way to give something back to this great project.

Best regards, Klaus

I designed the Servohorn with smal gears to fit the servos better. Feel free to download
Didn´t assemble the valves, but the horn fits the servos 100%

Hi jocamel

I used your servohorn and it fits well. It would be even better if there would be a larger hole on top so that the screwhead completely moves into the horn (Versenkung). A hole with a diameter of 6mm and depth of 1,7 or 2mm would be ideal. Would it be possible to add this or to provide the source file?

Many thanks

Uwe

Find attached with d=6 mm x 2 mm Senkung

I also set resolution of STL export higher, might make a difference in smoothness

Hi everyone,

I like this project and I already started to build it, so I have all the hardware already and my Test assembly is very messy but it‘s working fine, just one thing I didn‘t bring to work, the Neopixel stripe (WS2812b). I tried the how to on the raspberry pi Homepage with the files from jgarff/ws281x that’s working fine, but I have no idea how it works with the hector 9000. Help me, please.

Thanks

Anian

Hi,

there is a NeoPixcel.py you have to start.

At the moment the WS2812b are controlled from this script.

On further development it will be implemented in the normal workflow of hector ;-)

hello, im looking through hacking rockey 4 smart dongle (lisence) any help please ?

Hi, thanks for this great project! I am currently working on a prototype and need some help. My valves don't close properly, i.e. even in the 'close' position there is some air / liquid flowing through the tubes. I could make the valve tongues a bit thicker but before I do that I wanted to ask whether there was a better solution?! Cheers, Christian

Hi,

first you should check if the cam is properly centered onto the shaft of the servo. If you have problems with the alignment, you could try to use the new cam design without the adapter plate for the servo. 

I think the quickest way to solve your problem is to make the tongues thicker. You can also increase the outer diameter of the cam. 

Hi,
yes, the cam is properly centered and I used the new design. I'd prefer to change the cam but it is hard as I don't have the source file (only .STL). Could you pls provide a source file?

Thanks, Christian

Hi,

or it is possible that your servos did have a different position.

If you have a look in the

HectorConfig.py

you can find the open and close positions for every servo, so you could adjust the position.

Hi, I used a servo tester and fine-tuned the position, so I found the best position. But the cam plus the tongue did not fully lock / close the tubes.

Thanks anyway for your help!
