Hi Folks,
Ok, I'm working on automating my full size B9 robot and want the upper torso section to be able to rotate continuously in one direction if needed. I have an electrically silent ring gear with only 4 conductors (2 rated at 30 amps and 2 rated at 15 amps). The lower section will need to have two wheelchair motors for mobility, a motor for torso rotation and a small motor to operate his 'soil sampler'. The upper section will need ten servos to control arms, claws, radar rotation and bubble lift. There will also be a sound system so I will need a stereo amp and speakers in on of the two sections...
Given the high power requirements and complexity of needs here, the only solution I can think of is TWO controllers.
Is it possible to connect one EZ- B to another and control them both simultaneously by Bluetooth from one notebook?
Help!
Thanks in advance!
Thanks!
Gwen, I am building a full size B9. I actually do have two EZBs. I am putting one in the top half, and one in the bottom. Mine will have articulated arms. There will be twelve motors in the arms alone. There will be more for lifting the bubble, bending the waist, etc. I might have gotten away with one board, but I wanted to eliminate all the wires between the two halves. I will only have power wires connecting the batteries in the legs to the top section. The two EZBs will each run their respective sections through the Bluetooth.
That's the way I'm doing mine, anyway. You'll have to decide what's best for yours. It sounds like you came to the same conclusion that I did.
Good luck!
I will have the batteries in the bottom. The only wires that will span the two halves will be power.
