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!
For furthur circuit clarification
and the analog CD4053 description... http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/cd4053/cd4053.htm
IROBOT thats about the same circuit thats needed,only IN is the output and 8 inputs chip can be demultiplex or multiplexer since its bidirectional and CD4053 is same only dual 4 channel ,same data sheet for both
OK Josh you did it, sending me videos to lure me in.
But you know me and now I have questions. Where'd you get the replacement motors? Your gear box is different than mine, think the motors are the same size. You mentioned in the video that you added some other gears, how and where?
Now as far as covers. Figure out how tall wide etc you want them. Or even just one cover. I will send you the solvent, plastic and instructions on how to make it in minutes. Once you do it once you're gonna be hooked.
yay Sam your back! I'm at work not on break I'll respond to the rest later.
Oh there's no rush. :o)
SAM havent heard from you while and your robot designs ,hows the cute little MINON doing
JOSH we going to see some changes soon on your omnibot design
Yay Sam! It is good to see you post again! You have been missed. And Josh, we are missing pics of Jarvis. What's the haps?
Thank you, I have been around just focusing on other things. A bit discouraged about my dude but Josh here has managed to lure me back in. :o)
