I made a johnny five robot from lynxmotion and made many changes ,upgraded to higher torque servo's,added another deck for itx board,change the motors for higher torque,looking to add feedback,plus more servo's in arms ,plus web cam and more
Most of this is done already,was going to use lynxmotion SSC-32 servo board until i found the best controller for it EZB
BIGGEST problem finding a small ITX to replace my pico-itx board at 1 ghz 2 gig ram
here is a photo of the design without changes
All I can say is Sweeeet!
Very awesome. Post pics of your build. We wanna see yours and its progress
looking at monday night to post photos,it a little apart for many changes ,but mostly arm and body design is done,making the head a lot better and small change to the deck and tracks for another pc board i had pico-itx board running at 1ghz using windows xp pro lite,but buying a faster board to handle the WINDOWS 7 and EZB ,board is a ZOTAC 1.7GHZ DUAL CORE AND 4 GIG of ram with wifi built in,plus more 5 inches by 5 inches ,fits perfect
also the head part i am using air cylinders just like real one in the movie has
Do you have a link for the pc?
i bought it as a barebones system no memory and added a 4gig of memory $25 no SSD hard drive ,since i have my own and has WIFI they do have it complete
zotac small computer $202 for the computer and ships free
What battery you have for it
you need a 12 volt battery and a small converter fron 12 volts to 19 volts like the ones they use for laptops but using a car plug can easy find them on ebay or amazon 12 volts to 19 volts laptop adapter is good name to seach for it
Thank you robotmaker(FRED) for your linking to the pico-itx board as I too will install such a dedicated processor.
.....5 inch by 5 is super small for such a high capability. and the price has been reduced to 202$
