Dancing Android Robot

Have any of you seen the "Dancing Android Robot" on insrtuctables.com? You can also find it at: http://www.youtube.com/user/hitmithitmit

It looks like an absolutely great project! ( I think the current slang for this would be: "its totally sick!!!)

I have a Ardunio Uno , on order; but I am just starting with learning how to write code for it, and I do mean just starting. I'm at "Hello world"! Is there any way I might convince one of you roboteers out there to write a patch for it????? I'd owe you bigtime!!!!! I have the EZ-B, but I'm still a noobie with it too. From what I;ve seen thus far the EZ-B couldn't do the Dancing Android routine. If I am in error........PLEASE......feel free to correct me! ( Here's a challenge for you DJ) Hoping someone wants to do this project and will share...........................................hint, hint! Thanks fer yer time all. Lloyd

Haha, the dancing android would be extremely easy with the ez-b.

I guess i can make one if u'd like, to demonstrate. I'll order an android toy and do it for you

That would be entirely awesome DJ!!! I would really appreciate it!!!!!!!! Glad to hear its possible with the EZ-B. I'm so anticipating learning to fully use the EZ-B I'm also determined that I'm going to learn programming the Ardunio. Learning new skills doesn't come as fast to me any more. I had a mild srtoke a couple of years ago and I was determined to overcome it! I think I've managed fairly well. Still have weakness in left hand, and struggle with certain words; but I'm more then pleased with how far I've come. Looking forward to the "Dancing Android"with great expectations. Thanks DJ, Lloyd

Sweet Lloyd! Glad the EZ-B can help:) .. I ordered a little android character. I suspect a few weeks for delivery, as everything seems to come from Hong Kong these days.

Yep......I'm guilty of it too. U.S. sellers just ain"t gettin" it, are they. Thats why its taking so long to get my components. I have another project in process as well. Its a hacked Power Wheels Jeep. I used a very strong and torquey motor off of an electric garden wagon. It has been ab.le to pull a 300 lb. load; so I'm thinkin" it outta be more then powerful enough. Its 12 volts, so lots of power available . I'm going to try to upload some pics of it here. If not I'll post a link later on. Once I get familar with the EZ-B, I'm sure I'll be getting one for the Jeep. As of now I have a SyRen 25 motor driver which will also provide an R/C interface. With the EZ-B I should be able to mount all kindof sensors, camera, etc.

That's a pretty wild jeep! Sure will make an interesting autonomous robot:)

It can turn its head, full body and arms:)

Was busy programming it with my Arduino(sorry DJ) but my SSD just decided to stop working so i lost EVERYTHING, even school essays i still need to let be examined:(

Its looking good Lyron. Man it really sucks to lose all that work. Are you going to share the setup with us? Lloyd

I could use the arduino code i made for

(arduino with 3 servo's and 3 potmeters) and build another android but with pot-meters in stead of servo's. I lost the code but it was easy, i could reprogram it for your arduino :D
