Inspired by DJ and so many of you out there, I have finally begun my omnibot hack. While awaiting the arrival of my EZ-Board and camera I have disassembled, washed, and painted the little guy. For making mods to the body (ie. the head to rotate and the arms for servos) I found that I had much more control by putting my dremel bits in the drill press on high speed than I did using the dremel. Shaky hands haha. I have decided to make one arm completely controlled right down to an articulated claw, while the other will simply move at the shoulder. I hope to take some pics tonight to upload (as soon as my camera's battery charges haha). Then I know I will be bugging you all for help with the programming (definitely my weak area).
And tomorrow I will order the electronics for Dobby.
He needs a brain, some movements for every joint and hands.
Building is fun but the programming is also fun
HAve a lot of fun !!!
The servo for the arms and the head are working great. However I am having problems with the eyes.
I would like to be able turn each eye on and off or change the color of the eyes. I have tried to make them a digital but that did not work. I have also tried to use them as servo's that did not work.
I am following the instructions but I can't get it to work they light up but I cannot turn them off
The second question is I have a 6v battery for the omnibot how can I connect it to the ez-robot and still be able to charge it.
I thank that EZ-Robot is the best thing ever. I am loving it.
Thanks
