New To This ;)

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and new to building robots. Got some inspiration from DJ Sures 1980's Omnibot build. I've got myself a EZ-B v3 control board and an old omnibot but was wondering if there is a way to purchase the rest of the kit or at least the wifi camera for v3? If not any advice on the best servos to use would be appreciated. I have been looking at AS-17 servos and HXT 900s. Thanks for taking the time to read my post and hope to hear from anyone soon;)

Ken.

I remembered I had started to draw it up properly, only got sheets 1 and 2 (of 3) done so far but this should give you some clues:)

@jstarne1, I was reading an old thread and noticed you were thinking of hard wiring the wireless camera, just wondering whether you had any problems doing that or if you just modded the usb connection?

Also I've just ordered this small lcd to go into his chest does anyone know which peripheral cable I would need to connect to it?

Would searching 1602 cable on ebay find me the correct peripheral connector?

If neither of these displays are any good for ez-b can anyone recommend me one?

Also although it would be good to hook it up to the ez-b If thats not possible could I put in an sd card with animations on or even link it to my raspberry pi to play animations? A heart beat reading would be cool (hospital heart monitor style) especially if it could monitor the battery?;)

Well thought whilst it's sunny I may as well get the primer on his shell, then it's time for some chrome...
