    Hello Everyone. I would like to build a Traction Loss Platform like this.
    upload_2024-3-31_22-21-55.jpeg
    I found this info on this site, But the thread is not active anymore. I can build the Platform, but I will need help with Motor, Rail and, Software.
    Here is some text from the thread:
    " For the motor/actuator, I'm going to use the same motor that I use for the 4 legs actuators. They are 180w integrated servomotors. 'Integrated' means that the driver are built in inside the motor assembly.
    But for the TL, I'm going to couple the motor with a 'linear motion guide rail' that I found on aliexpress.

    I don't have a picture but this linear rail perfectly match the motor that I am using (nema 23 size). With 5mm pitch, the combination can push up to 80kg of force at low speed and around 60kg at around 100mm/s (given the power is only 180w) "

    Thanks for looking, and Thanks for any input. Bob.

    I feel strongly about it and love finding out more about it. If you could, as you learn more, would you mind adding more information to your blog
