DJ will you be making a interface for LIDAR or laser range tracker for navigation inside the house cheapest LIDAR is NEATO XV-11 $130 or less one i got is one of the best HOKUYO URG-04LX i was lucky to get it at $1000 ,$200 off the regular price,looking to compare to the XV-11 lidar witch i was told it was very close but also looking to maybe add it to my omnibot project with EZB and another controller board
another item is adding GPS SENSOR for outside navigation,very low cost i see the new software update has GPS
The Neato xv-11 has a pretty cool navigation system. I was looking into getting one a few months back but I got a second Omni2000 instead. Maybe in a few months.
GLICKCLICK i sell them only need the LIDAR sensor and 555 timer to keep the motor on the right rpm,have about 12,and lots of info and codes i just got a 3rd omnibot 2000,and 2 EMIGLIO robots i have a lot of EZB hacking to do check my omnibot project added photos of my arm design each arm can handle about 150 lbs or more but will be much much less because i use only half the current,omnibot frame will have all aluminium frame
I saw you are selling parts. If you advertise that you are selling lowest price on ebay you should make it a "Buy it now" price. Who knows how high the bid will go.
hehe 150 lbs! Thats a lot. You would need a lot of weight, extended wheel base and a low center of balance to keep it from tipping over. Looks very sturdy and will last a long time.
some i have buy it now,getting ready to add the LIDAR ABOUT $120 it sells for $300 the sensor only most would be under 75 lbs ,it draws 1 amp but at 75 lbs its 500ma, a lot better then the servo JOSH is using hsr-5995tg main reason using a aluminium frame inside is if falls it wont break much,second panels will come off easy like the heathkit hero design,also aluminium is light weight second no panels will have any boards attach to them or sensors or wires
@ robotmaker. LIDAR is what I would love to use but damn like you said they start at a grand and go up.
What is the Neto XV-11 like to use? I didn't know you could get them on there own. I'll have to look into then.
the LIDAR that goes for a $1000 has about the same accuracy as $120 NEATO XV-11 LIDAR here is info on it and how to make a simple speed control ,and just need a usb to ttl adapter or TTL on EZB
a lidar range finder is one of the best sensors used for inside navigationIf there is support for lidar from neato sensor within the first couple months of the year i might be interested. Robotmaker if you feel strongly that DJ could work this in as a feature for ezb why don't you put together a package with specs and any needed electronics and send it to dj to look at. Otherwise i don't imagine it would make it high on the to do list.
Guys I wonder for the price why not the x box kinect. You can pick them up for a song and lots of people have hacked them.
But I agree with Josh too. If Neato would support the lidar and have DJ do an update to include it that would be better.
