Acrobot by Daniel Simu. First time on stage!
This video is from the very first time the Acrobot v3 appeared on stage. I was hosting a show and was able to test the Acrobot there.
Recorded in November 2023 at the Nuremberg Juggling Convention.
Thanks to Matthias Romir and Melli Auernhammer for organising this.

Alphabet of 3 ball juggling - 43 tricks
Hartelijk bedankt voor de video, ik ben an beginen met bouwen een sprinter camper voor reizen door hele Amerika. Net terug uit NL. @dos-trotamundos
Leuk! Ben benieuwd hoe goed dit voor campers werkt :)
The company I work for sells Speed Locks, EVEN EASIER to use! No drilling involved. If you look up aluminum extrusion speed lock, you should be able to find a video I made or our websites :D
where did you buy that drill jig?
I 3d printed it, there are many to be found on thingiverse
I'm high right now but... All 3 ball tricks = All 3 tricks done with a ball All 3-ball tricks = All tricks done with 3 balls.
Haha, fair
@@DanielSimu Nice video btw. I used to juggle back in the early 2000s, so it was nice to watch a juggling video in my recommended for a change. Great work with some nice classic tricks!
Dit is leeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuk!! Jij bent echt zo leuk 😍😘😘😘 Groetjes van Rhonda uit Rotterdam
What software did you use to design the system?
fusion360
cool!
Thank you for sharing the video, would you be able to go into the code you used for this motor? I haven't been able to find many examples with these AK series motors.
Feel free to roam around my repo: github.com/hapiel/Acrobot/
Neat channel, very unique. Informative video, thanks for sharing. Best luck to you and Werner.
Thank you :)
Just sub'ed - hope you still doing cool code in 2024!
Thanks! Not as much as I wish, but hopefully soon more!
Nice beginner tutorial. If like me you didn't get anything showing up in your array, you need to get out of edit mode (ctrl-e) with DSP on, then hit bang button.
Hi, thank you for the video! I'm also working on a robotics project using the AK70-10 motor. I'm curious: which power supply did you use? I'm looking for a more reliable one, and would love any info or recommendations. Thanks a lot! Love your projects :)
How would these do in a RC lawnmower application? Would they be able to handle having the wheels directly mounted to the output axle?
Yes, I don't see why not :)
Very nice, I am designing a trolly for an overhead chainhoist for the purpose of using a wireless tv remote to push/pull the chain hoist along an I beam. Your engineering effort has made my design "stupid simple". Thanks in advance.
That was so cool! in all my years messing around with Max 7,8 and now PD, this was the only time I've seen someone make a song with the final construction. Well done!
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
Thanks for sharing.

Beste Daniel, Waar ergens in Belgie kan je de IO53A02 controler kopen?
Kudos, good job and that cheeky subscribe subliminal at 11:37 :)
hihi, did it work? ;)
literally perfection thank you so much
Aw thanks so much!
maybe you can get a 3d scan done of the plastic gears and have them machined
A 3d scan will not be accurate enough, but it is possible to measure and draw it. However, this will quickly get expensive, and possibly risky as I don't know if other parts are near failure too. Luckily there are other motors that have all the kinks worked out, see my video about Cubemars motor modules
Hi i am looking for using them in a hand operated manual car vlutch system. Can you help me with that
💖💖💖💖
❤
I'm thinking of building a motion rig sim cockpit how much weight can two electric motors handle. my weight is about 115kg and together with the rigging it will probably be 200kg
You will need to calculate how much torque you require from the motors. These motors typically have about 25Nm torque. Weight influences torque, but so does the length of the lever and the angle, etc.
Amazing material! Could you share the circuit and the code of your example at 20:50?
Sure, here you go: gist.github.com/hapiel/1fdf01f2a565c1b603fcd288a8e425fb
What kind of screws did you use? I am wondering because of contact korrosion. That would be the case when screwing stainless steel screws into aluminium tabs.
It is zinc-plated steel. So far I've not had corrosion issues yet.
Wow! Amazing and super fun! Always imagined who was the first to make the First puppet show, etc. This is a new modern genre in itself! :D
Thanks! I'm not the first to make a robot show, but it's indeed a similar thing happening :)
This is FANTASTIC -- both the build and the performance -- and it deserves to go viral. (Only 377 views after 6 days?! C'mon algorithm, do your job!) I discovered your channel while searching for T-slot aluminum extrusion information, and I'm really glad I clicked through to see what else you have on your channel. Subscribed with enthusiasm! Love what you're doing. Best wishes for your future creative work!
Thanks so much! The goal of this channel is to convert more t-slot nerds into Acrobot fans ;). I hope the algorithm will figure it out!
Amazing!!!!
Nice!
Thanks Casper! Hopelijk kun je 'm zelf ook een keer live zien :)
V stupid question, how do you pick the ball up with just your foot? This would save my old back some pain......
Good question! It's called a "kickup", you roll it onto your toes and then try to bring your foot up towards your butt whilst keeping your foot parallel to the floor. There are probably some tutorials about this on youtube!
I saw your build video, and yet, this was infinitely more awesome than what i expected! Well done and very cool :)
Thanks! I guess I should try harder to hint at what it can do in the build vids ;)
that's super impressive
Thanks!
Just kidding. This is amazing. Thank you!
Meh, a Raspberry Pi and 10.000 hours learning/building can do that...
That's pretty much what this is, haha. Some tech, and a lot of time learning. But I did it in only 2000 hours, so imagine what 10000 could get you! ;)
Are there any brands or car model motors that do not use plastic gears?
I've looked really hard for them, and was unable to find any. They do exist, Doga creates one, but I don't think they are used in cars. Also they are nearly 10x as expensive as the ones I typically use...
@@DanielSimu Thanks for the response. Going to use a wiper motor for a lead screw on a lathe. It is a common conversion. I guess the plastic ones must hold up as most of the conversions on UA-cam don’t specify any particular motor.
@@Wes-tg5xw And once you have the lathe, you may be able to make your own metal gear? ;)
Nice video Daniel!
Mh but does it Show the Code?
What do you mean? All the code is visual in Pure Data
@@DanielSimu yeah, I think only options for audio engineering to use text are supercollider, sonic pi and Faust. I was looking for a software inbetween processing lang and a text based language.
That set of terminals with the intermittent contact is for parking the wipers. Did you notice when you stop the wipers they always go back to the home or park position, where the wiper blades are in the home position. That is the purpose of the extra set of leads he was showing. This can be very helpful in homemade mechanisms if you want it to return to a predetermined position upon completing a function. Thank you for the video it was very well done
Yes, it is really a luxury to have this position sensor built in!
Awesome video! AK70 Just a bit out of budget for me, at least for now! Thanks for the video
Glad you liked it!
Nice! Aluminium profiles can get sooo expensive cause of the making proces, I might be able to get them as scraps from my school if I ever need them can’t think of where I would use them rn tho. Cool stuff
Another great video, thanks for helping me
Thanks for sharing!
Always a pleasure :)
very interesting!
Thanks! :)
wtf just cut your hair
no u
Can we use two 24v wiper motor to make electric wheelchair?
With 3.143:1 sprocket ratio
what is the difference between a 24V and a 12V motor
The voltage in 24v is higher but the current draw is lower. 24 volt systems for HGVs and bus vehicles.
Very informative! Thank you !
Glad to hear that :)
