The development of Anima is continuing, I have been pretty busy writing the drivers for the Charger and the IMU, but I think I have a pretty good base to work on for now.
The current step is to have a homogen code and trying to make it as clean as possible, organize everything together, then I will start working on the servos !
But for now, the OLED HMI looks promising 😉
After the Lower part, the Upper body was the logical next step. Actually, there was not much to do on this one… I started by installing the insert for the Top Cover, using the same method as before, which went flawlessly…
After the inserts, only the Flexible OLED display was left to install. I placed it first to see how the active area will match the outline of the body,then, I simply added double sided tape on the inner frame and pressed it against. In order to protect it, I added some felt tape and it looks nicer as well 🙂
For the cable, I first wanted to use braided sleeve but it turned out to be too rigid on the connectors and bit tricky to do… so I opted for the automotive solution by wrapping the cable in automotive tape. This looks pretty neat and avoid rattling noise if the cable is moving against the body.
And voila! The result turned out to be much better than I thought, this curved display looks stunning ! I can’t wait to make a proper HMI and menus 🙂
See you later for the Top Cover assembly !
