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!
Sure Josh. Here is one from servocity I think it might just be a device that fiddles with the control board voltage divider. If you have a pair of small resisters you can try and add one to each outer leg of the pot and see if you get the desired range. If it works it will save you quite a few dollars.
Update: I emailed mp3car sat and now again today. No response yet on the second board being damaged they sent me
Checked on Asus RMA...
Its not on its way back yet but I'm crossing my fingers it will be by tommorow , I will keep you updated.
OK email response from mp3car.com Josh,
Again, I'm extremely sorry for any inconvenience. I've released yet another replacement to be shipped to you today. It shows an ETA of this Thursday. It seems our warehouse provider (Amazon) has been extra rough on this batch. We've never had this high of a defect rate before. I'll ask them to look into the treatment of this batch.
If this next one has a similar problem, we'll drop ship directly from the manufacturer.
Please use the attached UPS label to again return this broken unit.
Thanks for your patience and understanding in this matter.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Best,
Stephen & The mp3Car Team
Good news from Asus , only took them 5 days to repair it and ship out another one that I will receive soon. Good as new I hope.
Lets all pray that its good this time JOSH,you seem to have bad luck.
