Hi Human Mentors,

Today we released HEXA Simulator Version 0.1.2. With the new default Skill SimulatorKit, you can create motions in the new HEXA Simulator and see what happens on HEXA immediately. Following the next steps, and you will find lots of fun.

Step 1: Update HEXA Simulator to the lasted version 0.1.2 on you Mac/PC (https://www.vincross.com/download-hexa-simulator).
Step 2: Login Vincross account in HEXA Simulator, make sure the account has authority to access the HEXA that you’re going to operate. (i.e. The account is one of the trusted users of the specified HEXA.)
Step3: Enter the motion edit page, which could been accessed in operation panel or the menu.

Step 4: Choose a motion or customize a new motion by means of editing a series of frame separately.
Step 5: Before preview the motion, choose either run in the simulator only or conduct the motion in simulator and HEXA synchronously. Before connect the HEXA for rehearsal, fill out the IP address of HEXA, which you could find on the Settings in the HEXA App or run \mind scan\ via your terminal. Make sure the HEXA and your Mac/PC were under the same wireless network. BTW, network configuration may affect the connection.

Step 6: Preview the motion via the play button at the left-bottom.

Enjoy it!

Important Upgrade: MIND Version 0.5.3 & Simulator Version 0.1.2

This is really amazing! I enjoyed so much testing all movement possibilities of HEXA, thanks for that!

But… why not allowing to also to play the combination of movements from a “world”?? I see I can only test individual moves… but what would be really cool, is actually to be able to play a whole combination of movements directly from the simulator to HEXA.

Would you consider to do this?

Also it would be so useful that the simulator would allow simple commands as “copy”, “cut” and “paste” for the moves editor.

Danke!

Hi David,
Glad to know that you like the new simulator! And your suggestions are really helpful. They are definitely going into the feature backlog

Important to note that for Step 5 when you enter the ip address it needs 3 digits and no ‘.’ between each. So 10.0.0.4 becomes 010000000004.

How do you save and upload a new motion to the robot? I have the vsm file but your instructions never tell how to store the motion on the robot for use in discovery mode
