robotmaker
about me well started in elecronics in age i think 6 taking apart my first a/c outlet,then latter on worked on radio reparing,then started to repair TV'S and other electronics,and got a small degree in tv repair,so i open my shop for a few years,then went to college (FSU) AND got my electronic engineering degree,.then started working for electronic equipment company designing very high precision pcb ,in-house and final testers for 18 years my field is mostly sensor testing,dc-dc converter circuits and precision AC/DC source (not a power supply) its used for calibrating meters,i got my biggest bonus ever $65,000 for a ultra high precision AC/DC source .001% specs and very pure sinewave ROBOTS ? i guess was about 10 made a cardboard box robot,and they during work i guess 10 years ago started building robots i work for many other companies repairing slot machines ,pinball machines,all types of appliances and just about anything electronic,including computer repair for best buy, programming ? LISPWORKS very powerfull AI SOFTWARE,scripts,basic stamp,arduino and working on learning C++
SO GUYS lets here about you all
Im 40 and in the health care field in Radiology/Cardiology. I was told that my parents stopped buying me toys because I tried to take them apart anyway possible so im assuming thats were the love of taking things apart came from.......Im married, I love to play volleyball and golf. Im in the plans of purchasing my first home by summer( more room to build more robots). Also, Im a leo and I like long walks on the beach...........call me......
@GOTROBBED i built long time ago a 4 lead EKG MACHINE in college and looking at building EEG machine for my telementry suit i am designing also next month getting a EEG headtset for $350 also know about MRI machines since i make magnet field generators
Most of you guys sound like you come from some sort of electronics background...
I am more the artist type, and Jill-of-all-Trades. Personal assistant stuff, I help start ups get going, design processes, accounting etc. I write sell sheets, design stuff, websites, etc. I have dabbled with programming but I am so not a programmer.
Personal hobbies, scultping, painting, building things. I'd rather make something then buy it. I am also writing a book. Fantasy, witches, elves, necromancers, zombies... the fun stuff.
Recently got into robotics and I also found out I was accepted as part of the Make Beta Team. Can't wait to see what kinds of projects they give me....
I'm in the wrong crowd tired
I'm just a lowly Building Mechanical Maintenance guy looking after 20+ buildings ( you know, HVAC's hot water tanks, boilers etc. ) no biggie , but I think I have @robotmaker beat, I have just over 150 various robots.
Dave
Put Put you probably do the same kind of things I do. But I don't have 150 robots !
150... Oh my. I am still on first one. Then I have spykee I want to hack.
I thought that was spykee sitting on the side
Oh yeah he's kind of got a bad firmware flash I am having issues with but spykee has a great base. Next project.
