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!

Sounds about right. It may pay to run from USB memory stick or SD card, however speed is reduced but power usage is reduced by a lot. There's a lot you could do. Also, I am pretty sure you can turn off the gfx card via windows rather than hard wiring it

I don't think I will go that far for energy conservation. Lol I like my speed. Its very fast considering it has a AMD dual core 2ghz 270u but my board can over clock it as needed to 2500 MHz. Its TDP is only 25 watts. Its a tiny bit more than a atom CPU as far a power but great performance. 7.8 on the win 7 experience rating.

Hopefully it won't rain today so I can get back to working on the body. I need to put a to do list together.

Have you tried Wunderlist? It's a great app for checklist style things. Have you thought about adding more batteries to keep everything on?

#196  

Yes more batteries are an option but to start out two will do fine till he is autonomous

#197  

Oh I thought that I read you were having problems with hims shutting down when stuff was on.

#198  

It was because the video card draws more current than the atx PSU could support. Oh good news then tent was still there lol

#199  

Woo hoo... good thing it was there.

Awe I see. Can you give a video card separate power? Or do you have to up the PSU?

#200  

Yes that looks like the only option is give the card its own 12v regulated from the battery.
