LOG 7: Cleaning up the wiring
Spent this one getting Momo assembled as far as I can without the Pi. Idea is that when the new one shows up I just plug everything in and go.
Reprinting in Black
Reprinted everything in black. Took a while since it’s a lot of parts, and I printed a few test pieces along the way to check fits before committing to the final versions.
The Wiring
This was the main job. Last log the wiring took up more space than the robot did, so I redid all of it properly.
Cut every wire to the actual length it needed instead of leaving slack everywhere. Heat shrink on everything, and made sure no bare wire was touching anything it shouldn’t. The switch I ordered for Momo came in too so that got wired in.
Spent a lot of time just taping things down and making sure nothing can work its way loose or pop out when the legs move.
Where It’s At
Came out way cleaner than I expected. It’s super compact now, the space ended up being pretty much the perfect size for everything once the wiring was done right.
Couple of days of mostly wiring and printing, but it looks a lot better than it did.
Just waiting on the Pi now.
