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
Check ebay. I got him for $43. He was missing an arm but then the lady found it and sent it anyway.
DJ said he hopes to add support for Spykee.
I was thinking about putting a mini itx in him, I got ideas to make a new body. His camera is terrible.
@SFOY PX10000G is a perfect board for him i have 4 of them,very tiny 1 ghz 1 gig ram ,works great with EZB and WEBCAM see it go for sometimes used $60 cost new $250,last one got for $90 and one just got sold for $50
Would he need to be fixed to use this? I'd like to be able to still control him etc.....
Probably way to big of a project for me :o)
@sfoy do you have spykee wifi ,or spykee ipod i guess you have spykee wifi also on LINUX it is very hard to use and install any drivers or firmware took me a long time to get LINUX ROS software installed
Spykee Wifi but has bad firmware. Worked great before that.
Here's a great site that shows his insides.
Spykee Anatomy
Here's what I'd like to keep functioning. Motor control. Would be great to be able to use his IR auto parking feature. Also on the bottom he has these connectors that allow his internal battery to charge. Would be nice to use that too.
@sfoy i dont think it w ill be that hard to hack him.plenty of help for you here main cpu is 200mhz 5 times faster then EZB cpu but then is is running a operating system check the page mostly only need the motor ,battery source and few other stuff so dont think it will be to hard to hack,EZB has some sensor can add to him just need a dremel tool and hot glue(boy i hate that stuff) like using hardware to mount sensor and stuff ,more professional i dont think i ever saw anyone except the members in this forum use in on thier robots but does make easy fast design
I feel my job as it relates to EZ-B is to foster ideas, teamwork and camaraderie in the EZ-B community. The audience here ranges from very young to very old. There is no need to say what I equipment I've worked on or how many years. If I can help someone I will but I will do so in a humble manner and not come off like I'm bragging about what I've done in the past.
this post i put up is for to tell about your self and jobs to help others on ezb forum,not about bragging
if you read other say in the post you will see same thing ,they tell about them self some started at 4 years of age and and what field they are in thats main reason of this post i made to tell about your self and field you are in,also to find out if anyone is a programmer,electronics designer or machinest, or others like i am not much into programming or documenting or art like SFOY,so buy finding each other talents to can better understand what others can do
my help is always free,and same in designing circuits for anyone is free
