Tendon Module Box

In order to actuate your robots, the Hot Glue Kit provides a wireless actuator module which can be attached on the robot for tetherless applications. The module box can be classified into three main components: the main casing or the "box", the electronics, and the control protocol whose details can be found in the corresponding pages. All of these designs are tested and proved to be functional, and sufficient to actuate your robots with HMA material. However, users are free to change the shape of the box, the components of the electronics and the control protocol if they want to. In this documentation we are providing the design details of our tendon module box.
