Asimov 1 Manual: Request for feedback

I am currently working on the rework of the Asimov 1 Manual to make it much clearer and easier to follow along.

It is currently a WIP, but I would like to gather more feedback on wording and organization of the content. Here is the link:

Feel free to provide any feedback you have below!!!

@lazy_yuuki I reviewed the manual. It’s getting there. Here is my feedback:

Need to put labels on each Motor to infer Motor part name (and Motor ID)

1 - Can you add a hyperlink explaining how to set the actuator IDs? Some actuators need to be configured via software.

Some parts are hard to distinguish whether they belongs to the left or right part. Need to include labels for legs and arms with L and R for these parts.

We should think about whether engraving might be worth it for serial numbers, component parts, SKUs, etc.

Put the actuator EC-A5013-H17-100 (ID 13)

This points to ID 13, but I’m not sure people will know how to set that ID.

Using 12 – M4x8 flat bolts,

Nit: I think you mean “using 12 × M4×8 flat head screws” instead of “flat bolts.”

thighten lightly

For folks who are more advanced, it would be better to define the right torque spec. Also, you have not mentioned Loctite 222.

Sub Assembly B

There are no pictures for this section, which seems odd compared to the previous steps.

Step15

This needs to be completed for the leg and foot.
