Adventures Of Botchy

I thought I would start a new page. I would like to completely delete the old stuff. I will have pictures soon. They are already taken. I have had my struggles, so i named her Botchy instead of Sunshine.

Here are some pix:

Thanks for your support!

Thanks, the lazy susan was hollow before I had to fill it with hotmelt glue.

Well, Botchy is coming along fine. As soon as I get batteries, I will post pix. I may change her name to Sunshine. I had a shorter neck for a while, but the last time I put her back together, She ended up with a long neck. This all has to do with trying to keep that Flex Hose on there. She is looking much better now.

Anyway, every 1st of the month, she is going to push forward. I have only One more month until I will buy a touchscreen Mimo monitor. That is the last major part of her. I have begged (to my wife), borrowed and Scrounged (I don't steal) all of the other parts. There may be some minor things to purchase if I test her and she winds up needing this and that. But, I have all I can think of in house. All I need is time now. Thanks for your support! Yeh!

Hey, everyone! Great News! I have ordered the mimo 7" touchscreen monitor. That was the last item that I needed to complete Sunshine. I am also waiting on the buck regulators. But, pretty soon, I will have everything in house. It will take me some time to get everything wired and screwed and glued then . . . ON to programming her. It has been a lot of work, but I am happy so far with Sunshine. She will be my last entry into this field. I will concentrate on programing my four robots that are left from my 15. I plan to have lots of fun with this. Of course many robots ago were my last one. So, we will see.

Thanks for being there for me. I apreciate it.

Hello everyone, Sunshine is waiting for parts. . . .the main hangup is the Buck voltage regulators. They are moving the factory and they are backlogged. They did tell me that they have shipped. So, maybe today,monday or tuesday I will get the regulators. And, wouldn't you just know it, my wife has many honeydos for me to do. I want to wire Sunshine. The robot, of course. Anyway, it will all turn out.

Thanks for all of your support!

I just got the mimo monitor in. It is nice. It works fine in the landscape mode. but, I cannot get it to fill up the screen in the portrate mode.

when I try to install the monitor, it says it has to he a 640X800 or VGA minimun. and the monitor is showing 400X600. Maybe I will try the landscape side of things.

I have it working better,now. Thank You.

I also put the tray by the body of Sunshine. I see now how it might better fit inside. But, I don't want to cut it because I have all my wiring inside with the paint already finished. So, maybe a bracket from the outside with the hole just letting the usb cable through. Let me know what you think.

I have got everything working on the mimo monitor in the Landscape mode. But, when I change it to portrait mode, it smears the bottom half of the screen. Talk about dificult to change it back to Landscape again. I have been working on this for hours. I am just going to leave it in the Landscape mode. Maybe I can make a swivle to make it set in Landscape outside of the unit. It sticks out a little. But it should work,maybe. I am still waiting on my three buck regulators that should've been here weeks ago.
