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!
looks like it getting there was watching a movie on my vacation trip called "short circuit" may be 10 time i seen it and near the end i see omnibot 2000 robot with my favorate robot johhny five CANT wait to get back to work on my omnibot 2000 project,going to be a very good design
JOSH keep adding to yours but dont over do it ,or you may have problems
Man Josh! He looks great! Take it easy - your robot will always be there for you when you are ready.
dont rush JOSH,get better first and take it easy i had the flu awhile back and took a week off and didnt do much,chicken soup is real good for the flu
Josh! Hope you are feeling better soon.
Also, I noticed in the picture you had servo extension wires. I was wondering how heavy duty they are and how much they cost and where did you get them. I got some on Ebay that were extremely cheap, flimsy and did not work very well.
Well, when you are feeling better, maybe you can share this information with me. I will Eventually have to find another source for these cables.
I posted this already, but it did not stick for some reason.
thanks,
Mel
:D
It wasn't bad compared to buying just a few. I picked up 60 but this particular auction is 15 dollars for 40 shipped. They appear to be fine. If I had a problem or concern I will let you know.

Fans are on the way . F12 arctic 120mm fans are high flow 74 cfm and .3 sone at 1350 rpm.
Jarvis needs plenty of cooling given he has a full computer a couple ezb boards , voltage regulators for drive motors and servos , the pc power supply and Sabertooth 10x2 H Bridge.
Best part is these fans are 6 dollars each and have won awards for silent operation while having the high 74 cfm rating. http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/case-fans/77/arctic-f.html
Cool!
