Can you help me make custom software/hardware?
For example
I like how the bit moves it's head using motion tracking and it's life like...
I want only that motion tracking to control my servos,
Not the rest if the board. Will that be cheap?
That's the cost ...
Than is the question can and is there the will to make a program with c# or visual basic.
But why don't you wanna use the ARC.
Why re-invent dj did the hard part.

i did buy the $99 ARC and i have not received it yet,
and it does many things, but i asked about a VERY SIMPLE board/software that is customized to ONLY do the tracking that would control x y axis servos, and not having the additional components i figured it would be cheaper.
so right now, i can only put this realistic moving head on 1 robot (up to 5 total if i pay $500 for 5 boards...)
and i am wanting something small, compact and a lot more affordable, so that i can make a lot of animated characters, without having a computer and ARC for every 1-5 units.
i want the entire complete unit to fit inside a teddy bear for example.
also why do i not get an email notifying me of replies to my post?
Remember, the EZ-B doesn't just do one thing. It's not just for tracking. It's for an entire robot. You can track and control your robot. The EZ-B has 20 Digital I/O per board. That means you can have 20 servos, or 10 servos and 5 Ultrasonic distant sensors. Or 5 Servos and 5 Ultrasonic Distance Sensors and 5 LED's... You can use the ports for what ever you want.
To avoid having the EZ-Robot email considered spam, we don't send out email notifications.
Canada post? If DJ Sures doesn't personally deliver then I want a refund!
:-)
My question was if Dj could help with a custom board/software for a project like that.
The answer to a suggestion above, is NO, I can not use ARC on this particular project (but i can use it on many other ideas i have), cause each and every Teddy bear would require a laptop. I would want it pre-programmed, I would not want the person to control these with computer. I want them to be 100% self controlled, like robot dog.
I'm not talking bad about ez b, I think it's awesome.
If you want some code for moving servos and such, no problem
Last night I seen a you tube video, someone used an Arduino and I guess they "programmed" a very small chip. I think that is what you are talkin about.
After it was programmed, they unhooked Arduino and it worked on it's own to control an led.
Thanks
We can talk later when I get organized.
