is 2 amp in current low or much for the ezbv4? i found the guy whit the lazers my idea was to use 4 big servo's from here.for moving the head up&down. mount the camera on the left choulder (predator) and ontop of the camera, 3 lazers,they are 6 volt one red two blue.i will use the blue just, for tracking red baloons,ones the robot spotted blue goes out and red goed on. thats 2 amps for one lazer x3 is 6 amps just gessing
@Nomad.... Ok, you and a dangerous high powered laser?.... Hmmm, why does that combination scare me?
No, laser pointers won't pop a balloon. It wasn't clear that is what you wanted to do. The ones you linked to will, but please be very careful with them, particularly the blue one. It can easily start fires and hurt you badly.

you dont have to be scared,i haven't it yet hehe
ps myo is charging now
@nomad.... Have you thought about this? When you're popping the balloons, what happens to the laser when the balloon pops? Won't it hit the next object in it's way, like a wall or? You're going to have to find a way to shut down the laser immediately once a balloon is popped....

yes indeed,the guy in the video uses a on/off switsh would it be possible to command the robot to deactivate lazer?
You'll have to be fast with the switch... light travels at 186,000 miles/second... To script for it, you will need something like a relay in order to turn the laser on and off with the ezb....
You can use a tip120 circuit to control the laser. You will also need a 6v voltage regulator to provide it steady 6v power. You can undervolt them without damage, just get a less powerful beam, but if you overvolt them you will experience the magic blue smoke.

@Alan... Ha, Ha.... Just had a magic blue smoke incident yesterday (although not my fault).... The wrist servo in my inMoov's left wrist burned up quite impressively... I mean, no flames but lots of aromatic blue smoke pouring out of his forearm... Ah, good times... Just wish I could have caught that on camera....
