Jarvis Hacked Omnibot 2000 W Pc ,Ezb &Amp; Vacuum Inside By Josh Starnes
Jarvis is a project inspired in part by Jarvis the AI that belongs to Tony Stark in the movie and comic book series IRON MAN. This is my first real robot with no previous experience. I dreamed of making a couple of robots one was a vacuum robot with 4 motors. Brush, impeller, and one motor.driving each wheel. This was back in 98 before roomba was thought of. Lol my drawings as a kid even resembled one. Now that I am older and have tools like EZ Robot I can start making these dreams come true. It has been a learning experience and I hope to learn more. Jarvis is basically my personal computer but also will have a few key features. Goals are that he can help maintain a home by vacuuming and sweeping the floors. My fish need to be taken care of while I am away so scheduled feedings and turning tank lights on in the morning and off at night are in the works. Jarvis can answer calls , act as a telepresence device because he has a camera and screen. He would be great for security by detecting motion, taking pictures or video and sounding.alarm if intruders are detected. Just for fun I would like Jarvis to bring cold beers to the table when asked to which I am sure would be a great conversation piece. Jarvis will be autonomous in some.situations and because of the wireless video link by wifi and wireless keyboard and mouse, I can be checking facebook on either the upstairs or downstairs Tv while Jarvis is roaming the house or cleaning. Thanks to 4g USB antenna Jarvis is not limited to my home and can.take control quest (or kill.switch.lol) from a smart phone or laptop. This makes the Jarvis project.show friendly as I can take.him to show off without lugging around a laptop or other equipment. Also i do plan to somhow work in being able to control his base movements , head ect from a ps3 bluetooth.controller. I'm still thinking of other tasks Jarvis could do but I gotta get this guy together so there is no time to waste!
February 1012 when I first received the Tomy Omnibot 2000 . My starting main parts were/are asus mini itx motherboard, 8 GB ram , Win 7, 250gb Western Digital Hard Drive, Nvidia 560ti graphics card, 2 ghz AMD 25watt tdp dual core CPU, Thermaltake 430 watt psu, 460 watt apc backup, Ez Board Kit w EZ WIRELESS CAM , Shark vx63 cordless vacuum, 4 Power Sonic batteries 12v 9ah , power HD 240 oz servos, hitec 645mg 130oz in servos, hitec 5995tg 400 oz in servos , Robotzone.gearbox 5 to 1 ratio for shoulders and other electronics.
At this time im getting the body ready to start putting things together. The fun begins!
ALSO my girlfriends wants me to build server type of robots and plays or controls music and TV and to chat with while i am gone
I assure you Jarvis' s code will not be easy , there are lots of sensors and tasks planned for him.
all mine are the same,like my omnibot project is going to use a lot of them I use alot of sensors mostly for navigation,and making a special board for then to use only ADC port instead of 2 or 3 EZB'S ,its called multiplexing can have over 100 analog or digital or servos plus it much much faster ,no cpu is used like all scripts are done on one EZB
well planned and efficient robotmaker! What is the type/name of the multiplexor chip your using, please.
Wait did you say your making it to where there is no pc needed to run scripts? Is it really as ezb anymore then?
JOSH no it uses EZB ,IT USE ONE ADC port and a few digital lines
IROBOT one for analog is called CD4053,then there others for digital
@Josh I believe robotmaker said he would not need more then 1 EZB and use a multiplexor to create multiple inputs
"instead of 2 or 3 EZB'S ,its called multiplexing can have over 100 analog or digital or servos' " if I may speak for him
YES and multiplexing is very easy,also i use CD4051 not CD4053 as i posted but they are both multiplexer chips ,can easy set one up as sensors ,and one as battery monitor and more
