i am working on irobot roomba project so far made a pan and tilt design using brackets from lynxmotion,servo's and servo bracket from servocity next to add sonars,IR and PIR SENSORS ON IT it pans 180 deg and tilts about 180 deg
well back from my china trip ready to start and f inish this project,will be posting photos in a few days,some parts are backordered ,but main design will be done
I have 2 Roombas now. An old first model I got from mom. I took it apart thinking I would use the drive wheels out of it. Then I picked up a newer one off eBay . I might put an EZ-B on it so I can tell it to back up or turn when it gets stuck cleaning my floors. robotmaker are you mounting everything on the deck ? Lowriderbot? lol How was the long flight home? JW.
very long flight 27 hours on the plane i have over 20 roomba's ,lmaking a turtlebot design cheaper then one there are selling ,sold 6 already my design is almost 4 feet tall,will post photos about monday,adding itx board lots of sonars ,ir sensors and my leaf project latter on,when roborealm finishes the interface for EZB right just controlling by bluetooth and voice,may be joystick, drive wheels are very good can carry over 40 lbs and easy to use in any design,single encoder but neato motors are great too about 40 to 50 lb and hall effect magnetic encoder,making a design for encoder to hook up to EZB analog port or pwm port
If they get leaf working with an EZ-B that could be interesting. It seems leaf is always looking for something to do all the time from what little I've played with it.
Steven from roborealm is almost done,then all you need make is variables and scripts roborealm almost can control any robot board
@ww321q if you have roomba,take the cover off and remove the brush,vacuum and side motors,it will let you handle a bigger load or less battery drain here info on the roomba tear-down roomba tear-down info
here are some photos of what my roomba will look like ,except for threaded rods in place of brackets to reduce the price the bottom box you see is a pico -board and cabinet i am adding pan and tilt camera goes on the top deck,and adding sonars and IR'S to the sides and front
this photo is a brackets i made as a cargo hold for extra battery and switching circuit
this one is has the pico cabinet called ARTIGO it will have my pico PX10000g and SSD hard drive
this is what it will look like,except for using threaded rods in place of bracketsdid alot more work on my ROOMBA will post photos before or weekend only have to wire up 12 sensors and pan and tilt,my design will almost every port on EZB 5 IR'S ,6 SONARS ,1 PIR ,PLUS A FEW VOLTAGE and CURRENT MONITOR PORTS ,and 2 SERVO'S I mostly make my own cables instead of splicing cables together
Sounds awesome!! Looking forward to seeing it
You going to make maker faire in may San fran?
