Benefit Of Onboard Computer

Hello to all the members of the community here.

I am starting to build an InMoov robot project using ezb controllers and want to understand what if any is the benefit of adding a onboard computer to the project is?   Also what computer configuration would be best to use?

Currently I am going to be using a IoTiny in the head and two ezb4’s in the chest.

i know some things but I don’t know all things haha
Well sure in the hell no more than me when it comes to this stuff LOL

I would love to be able to talk to you about ARC programming for a few mins on the phone to try and get a better understanding how thing are designed to work with each other.  Let me know if that is something that maybe we can do.

Sorry that’s not something I can offer. Have you had a look at any tutorials or the support section?

Yes I have and they left me with questions.  I can post them here on the site but I was looking for a simpler method...  As a former CEO and also a head of a R&D in software development company myself I understand why we can't get on the phone.

Id love to build robots with people. It’s why I started this:) it’s just not sustainable. My time on here is a luxury but it also helps keep my finger on the pulse.

Hi DJ.

Above you have that you have mounted a usb camera in the chest of your Inmoov. Do you have a pic of where and how you mounted it?

The eyes that i am using i have modified and as such i can't put a camera in them. So the chest was my next thought.

Cheers.

Sadly I don’t have a pic but it isn’t cleanly mounted. It’s pretty much a retro fit due to time constraints and far too many projects. I won’t be in calgary for quite a while to show anything like that. And I’m not quite sure if it’s even still there because it’s been a while since I’ve used the inmoov.

id recommend a retro fit in the chest plate. Use a camera with the highest field of view. There’s some good affordable ones on Amazon.

THe biggest benefit of adding a onboard computer to the project is that your computer will be set up and working right away. You can use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection to make changes if needed.
