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
will be posting photos of it with changes,it a little apart for more upgrades kit is about $900 and to add very high torque servo's about $1300 like i did 16 servo's now and might add 2 more for drive
here is part of johnny five eyes i am getting

mostly the head will be close to johnny 5,may be latter can do the arms and body ,by using plastic coversthis will be my biggest project so far,i also ordered my air cylinders from china
Next month i got one more long trip to CHINA for work,to teach a tech on how to fix my in-house testers ,there is a lot of them,so it may be 3 weeks maybe more
tired no robot making
Good news it a big pay
,mostly i wont be able to see much of china
SO going to have some more updates and photos on my EZB projects before i leave.
Hopefully your trip is not into Beijeng a very polluted city! Big pay is good to help support your family and robot projects and we are ALL looking forward to your EZB photos! ps please post any robotic stuff you might see in China!
WISH i have have time,but the area is mostly all businesses,
Here is the AIR SOLENOIDS i ordered for my project.
Little by little getting parts in for my johnny five project.
I have lot of milling to be done. and getting ready to order some of the plastic bars for it.
I do have a full size wooden PROP from the movie i bought while back,using it as a template and with photos off the input-inc site (cant wait for the plans for full size to be ready) i might be the first to get the plans.
How are you going to control these air cylinders? How can you interface this with ezb
with a air switch,and using a small air tank,and if it needs to be refilled ,i can use a servo attached to a syringe to pump more air into it plus will have air stops switches
I used some like this at work for special fixtures i designed and made for production
Interested to see this can you post like a part list and a diagram on how you gonna use the air cylinders?
