300.00 shipped....with remote.
ive studied the tear down pics. and i think there are a totla of 8 motors.....
i know if i use the motor controllers from DJ's store they only control 2 motors at a time and take up 5 ports on the ezb....
i think i can only put a max of 2 maybe 3 motor controlers on 1 EZB, right?
that gives me 4 maybe 6 motors....what do you guys think is the best way of avoiding putting 2 ezbs in the ultimate wall-e
Reason i m trying to do this, is because it will be awesome to keep all the originalmovement but to have ultimate control via a xbox 360 controller.
What is the best way to go about this...
one last thing....one of the motors int eh neck is a flat circle motor....a stepper motor? maybe ? not sure....ill post a pic soon....maybe you guys/ 1 gal can confirm is the ezb can power it.
thanks guys and 1 gal
Congrats on your find! A tad expensive, IMHO. I got my Ultimate Wall-E for about half that. And before anyone asks; no, I'm not planning on modifying it. I'd wanted one for a long time as-is for my collection.
Did you happen to get the iPod/MP3 player holder with yours? I'm looking for the one that comes with the Ultimate Wall-E if you have no use for yours. Let me know!
As for number of motor controllers you can use with the EZ-B, looks like they're already talking about that HERE! So check out that link.
In the interactive Wall-E I used 6 servos total. No motor controllers required.
(1) Continuous 360 servo - Left Track Drive (1) Continuous 360 servo - Right Track Drive (1) Micro servo - Left Arm (Up/Down) (1) Micro servo - Right Arm (Up/Down) (1) Micro servo - Head (Up/Down) (1) Standard servo - Neck (Left/Right)
To me anything more is a creative bonus.
P.S. I'm not sure of the difference between the Ultimate and Interactive, but assume they are somewhat similar.
Thanks for the link, yeah I debated it for a long ass time but I just wanted it. I wish I was into this stuff in 08 back when he was 180 retail. Anywho. It did not cone with the mp3 holder. Sucks.
Lumpy - this wall is is like 3 tunes The size. I the wheels are huge and the motors work well. Also, already does a body tilt to.
And yeah 300.00...so I want to jeep the Modding to min.
If I can just " take control of existing motors he would be perfect. Then I would just make the front battery chest plate a small LCD, saw a video on YouTube.
I'm off to do more reaseach. Thanks for the fast replays.
Sorry for typing. On my cell.
Wow, found some pics. He is a big sucker.
If the treads are run off individual motors I'd just add a 2.5A motor controller to take charge of them.
Should still be able to use servos (Standard instead of micro) for arms, head, neck.
You'll just have more room to play with than us with the meager Interactive units. ;-)
Best of luck, post lots of pics!
Nice! I have wanted an ultimat wall-e for a while... just so expensive, i'm jealous
I know it might seem intimidating at first to modify the chassis with servos, but i suggest it. Adding motor controllers will allow movement, but not specified positions. Servos will give your robot a personality by allowing you to create dance routines and specific positions, etc.
gotcha!!!!
see i didnt know that..... ok cool ill leave the motors in the wheels but replace everything else.... hmmm......
i think im going to finish up my mini wall e first then build my r2 with body tild and 3rd leg movement...before i "destroy" this awesome robot.
Since you brought the subject up DJ next on list stepper motors. Give you the positions and with encoders the amount of revolutions.
you basterd i was the other one that bid on it.
Take a lot of picture so i can look how you do it
Hope to see an other really soon.
