6 Foot JD Live Hack
Change of plans ladies and gentlemen! Astro Boy is being benched for a little bit while I work on an extraordinary project for EZ-Robot! It's a 6 Foot tall JD robot! This JD is for trade show installations and it's upper body and head will move around. JD will run off of a 5V 20A power supply and will have giant servos like the inMoov. It is made out of Styrofoam.
Things are looking up!
Join the live chat and add your comments, ideas, and suggestions!
If someone wanted to tackle researching the OLEDs that we should use, please do! (Around 2" tall)
If someone wants to tackle finding the silicone type + coloring we should use for Astro's skin, have at er'!
If someone wants to research which TTS voice we should use (and the settings), it would be greatly appreciated!
If someone want to find a low profile male USB connector that can fit in a tight space and interface to a USB 3.0 HUB that would be awesome, I guess I could always make my own with a vertical A male and vertical A female on a perf board.

It has all kinds of good stuff, turns out there's an upward facing connector called "Webcam" CN16 that is actually a USB port, so I can interface my hub to there!
I'm also looking to see if I can use the Audio amplifier with only 5V. Maybe if I bypass Q3.....

I had mentioned that I wanted to a hack night tonight but I completely forgot that I volunteered to drive for a skateboard event this weekend so I'll have to postpone.
Hope you post a video of it moving soon.
Do the eyes light up?
You did an amazing job.
Giant JD is stranded in storage somewhere in Florida. It had to be left behind when the pandemic hit. Turns out the footage we had of him didn't turn out great. So hopefully one day Giant JD will be saved :D.
by the way, I haven't seen DJ here lately, what exciting things are you two up too :-)
