For Reachy, where do I start for building?

[Rog]

Hi Pollen Community and Pollen Robotics,

I’m new to this forum , after reading and exploring Reachy. I’m very interested in building one for use and prototyping,

But I’m not sure where to start in building it, I checked in the Pollen open source link and on the bottom there are lots of softwares and hardware options , I went into ONshape and I can export STLs to print (not sure if they are the correct STL there…?) and then I couldnt find any instructions on how to assemble the pieces of printed STL together, the hardwares that is needed for example, what model of motors is needed , electrical wirings, is rasperri pi 4B enough to drive it ? or what is recommended? , the type of antenna used and all screw types? …, is there a complete Hardware BOM list and assembly instructions (with visual) for Reachy? so that I can start purchasing the hardwares ,

As I’m very keen to get this started.

Thank you

I dont really see this as open source…,

no replies and help …

Hello @Rog,

The hardware team is still on vacation and will answer when they are back. Did you have a look at these other topics on the forum?

Circuit Launch Robotics CoLab builds Reachy

When we saw Reachy we were immediately inspired to build it. As a platform, Reachy by Pollen Robotics has the potential to to deliver on the promise of interactive open source robotics. It has a good blend of bio-inspired welcoming form, and capable hardware for experimenting with human & robot interactions. Circuit Launch is a community of individuals, students, startups, and established hardware companies coming together to develop hardware electronic innovation. We are based out of Oakland C…

Build Reachy for a Maker group?

Hi there, Reachy is amazing! I’m part of a Maker group and we are looking for projects to build as a group. Could we build Reachy with 3D printed parts and open source components? What’s best way to get started building a Reachy?

3D CAD models release!

Hello everyone, As we have achieved stability in our Reachy 3D design, it’s time to make the files public and release the 1.0.0! [image] Sources are released under Creative Commons BY-SA Licenses and available on OnShape. We have several repositories for each Reachy “modules”, you can access them with the following links: Bio-inspired arm 3D model Trunk 3D model Gripper with force sensor 3D model Expressive head 3D model This is a quick announcement for the ones following the project sinc…

You should be able to find the BOM with the components used and may find advice from a team who has already built a Reachy on its own!

Best regards,
Gaëlle

Hi, i have searched in this forum and all the BOMs but i cant find where to get the anthenas from ¿Are the 3d printed? i didnt find an stl either. ¿Any idea where i ca find them?

Hi,

You can find a tab “antenna” in the onshape document of the head.

You can also buy the antenna on Amazon or Aliexpress, the reference is Nagoya NA-701 or Nagoya NA-711.

Cheers,
Augustin
