I just got through wiring Sunshine. I had it all but finished. But, I wasn't sure about the wiring of the HBridges. So, I put it in a logical manner.

I don't have an on/off switch or the charger hooked up at this time. So, when I hooked up the top EZB, the wrists went grrrr. Very good. I hooked up the bottom EZB and Sunshine took off going forward like a ruptered duck. It was like a bat out of hell.

The bad part about it was she was on a black and Decker workbench and she fell of going to the concrete. It pulled four wires loose from the battery and I noticed that the 12v reg was not working. I had a ground pulledd loose from it. I also had a 5v wire that came a loose.

So, I am going to regroup and start over.

I have made some steps forward , so I made one step backward, I will try again when I have help to pickup the robot and set it were the wheels cannot roll.

Ouch, Sorry to hear that man.

Thanks. I have gotten the robot rewired. It had more like a dozen wires pulled loose. I have her rewired and back down on the floor. I have decided to give her a temporary connection to the base in case I need to get back inside of her again. I have since put in on/off switchs. I haven't did the charger yet. She seems to be ok.

on the monitor, I am going to call the factory today.

Thanks for your support~!

Well, I re-wired everything and double checked it. I still have the charger to wire. But, with all of the switchs in the off position, she is powered down. If I power all of the switchs (3), she will start moving backwards. So, i have got to do something about that. But, I am so tired, I am going to take a break.

I am going further , slowly. But, I will take pix and show them eventually.

Thanks for all of your support!

:D

Hi Mel , are you still working on your turtle bot? Would you consider parting with it or any part of it?

I would consider. why do you ask?

Well, I've got Sunshine all together except the monitor in the chest. When I started to test her, only two things work, the Left Eye and the neck pan Right and Left. I don't understand. In all my years of building robots, I always wire them and they work. I have NO idea on what to do next. I double checked all of the wiring as I was wiring it.

:(

Maybe the fall damaged something you haven't discovered yet?
