Hello everybody! My name is Alessio, I'm italian and a new member!
I just recently purchased an Ultimate Wall-E robot of Thinkway, and my goal is to turn it into an autonomous robot, just like djsures did with his Wall-E. I wondered, as my model (Ultimate) is very large (about 16" tall) how can I make an internal system, so as to make it independent from an external PC on which to run the ARC? Should I insert a PC in Wall-E? If so, there is a very small system (such as a cubieboard) which can run Windows and the ARC? Any other suggestion is welcome.. I really want to make a robot that does not depend on an external PC...
PS: please, forgive my bad english...
@tony1952 oh yea that's right! sorry been a year. ill post some pics. im actually swapping the body and arms from the u command wall-e (im only keeping the neck from the limited edition wall-e) I know, so much waited time. but again the arms that Louis t did and someone else on this forum were done with the u-command arms.
@sparkino ill see if I can upload the clips of wall-e sounds I already have....
-there are simple microphones on ebay or amazon, they connect to any port on the ezb. -add 1 microphone on each side of the wall-e body. near the arms, they will work as ears. -then use the adc voltage option on the software side of the ezb
-make a simple script, if that meter raises higher than a specific number, the body and head will turn in that direction. example: if you clap on one side of the wall e, that mic will trigger the closest mic. and voltage reading will come up on the screen. the script will kick in and the wall-e will move. BOOM!
But remember
-the voice recognition part cannot work with these microphones. -that must be done with a mic. that is added to your pc.

@sparkino Wall-E audio files were covered in this thread https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/2224 Many links on google
@hoolagen1, thank you. knowwhatyoursaying!
@Tony1952, just found a lot of original Wall-E audio files, thanks!
Someone can tell me the title of the song that DJ's Wall-E played when dancing? It's really nice!
You can use the soundboard which DJ set up in the Wall-E example too, it holds all of the sound bites DJ uses on his Wall-E, they are embedded in the project so no need to search and download.
@Rich, the sounds are in the ARC folder? Ok, I will search, thanks!
No, the sounds are embedded in the project. You will need to open or import the Wall-E project.
I just copied my R2 D2 sounds to a folder on my desktop. .. then used PlayAudio command ( ) in ARC to play R2 sounds out through the pc speakers. When I get my V4 boards I will swap out and play the sounds through the V4's on board speaker. This way I don't need a mp3 trigger board.
@Rich, thnaks, now I understood!
