Ezb Controlled Lynxmotion Johnny Five Robot

Skip to comments   Jump to end

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

User-inserted image

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

once i work out the parts and where to get them

#58  

I got my air cylinders in,and now going to paint them blue to match the ones johnny five has will post photos

#59  

Johnny 5 air cylinders are anodized. , not painted. But then agian your not making a replica. ; p

#60  

YES i know but if painted cant tell the difference,at the same time real johnny five not made with lynxmotion parts too

NEW update on my johnny five lynxmotion design ,i got my NANO ZOTAC computer in,and looking to remove the outer case,since its a little bigger then what i needed size of the board is 4 1/4 square with casing its 5 1/4 square

another edit change

I took out the board and it fits perfect with some room on front and back,sides very close and height is perfect even with SSD drive

NEXT is to mounted it will standoffs and fix the air vent on the fan on the board once it done will post photos of it

THEN add my windows XP software,i like it better then windows 7,but will wait till i try it,and with software IF doesnt work great then change to windows 7 good thing about WINDOWS XP ,support for it for the next 2 years about

when i downloaded ARC it does say its for windows xp,vista,windows 7 on the EZ SDK only good for windows 7 and higher
