Wheeler Chair Robot
I saw that last year somebody had built a wheel chair robot?. My idea for the new Robot will be as a stage mascot that can also pretend to play the drums on stage. My brother has a live Metal band every Saturday night and most of the time we have trouble with no drummer showing up. We end up using a Drum machine instead with the 2 other guys on real guitars and singing. So Terminator will be able to move around and substitute behind the drum kit with the Live drum machine signal activating terminator arms at the drums. Also need him to move around in a wheel chair , so is anyone out there that has done this wheel chair hack, looking for suggestions on power/motor controller connections etc...should not be too hard just larger than I'm used to building. This is a youtuber that bought what I just bought,takes a month to get from China and we are building the rest of the Endoskeleton to integrate in wheel chair....

The people upstairs must think you're a mad scientist! Who else would be making a Cylon robot at this hour!
Ha ha ya ,I could not resist and set it to the slowest speed for quietness and let it rip around the tiny work room at 4:30 in the morning. Had to test the new ground wires for Sonar, seems excellent but really needs at least medium speed and way more room to travel forward!
I had a few people request video to see Cylon actually vacuum my house independently full auto and collision avoiding A.I. ...had only issue that once I activated camera with movement detection, it would over ride the sonar detection...simple fix when vacuuming,turn off and pause detection,camera still on but no longer curious about moving light reflections.
And here is what happens with full curiosity mode going where ever it feels like going according to camera movements and light reflections also both sonar sensors avoiding chairs,walls.Then I gave the speak command to give RSS NEWS FEED from Alex Jones at Infowars.com while continue to explore house. I am not controlling at all just watching and recording with my phone, LOL! Little bud is alive!
I like that curiosity mode. That’s pretty cool!
It is so much fun taking examples of what you did in the past and add to new projects, you are THE dude, thanks again DJ.
Final Test today, to see how well it can find the power docking nest to recharge after doing a vacuum cleaning for about 90 minutes.Again fully Auto ,success! I Did forget to program the left arm, thinking It will raise that arm when ever turning. TO make it look like it is alive and struggling to balance itself,LoL! ..Oh cool so my new driver board for the hand cannon Star L.E.D. will be delivered by Thursday, meaning attack mode back in the programming!
Wow so my star L.E.D. driver board came early today! Now the cool thing about this upgraded board is, no longer do I need to use my 8 channel relay board to send signal voltage from EZB digital pin to get to basic driver/L.E.D. to flash from EZB ARC commands.This new board includes an input pin for robot controllers PWM signal pin! Can now bypass the old relay! Makes wiring up these High powered L.E.D. so much more easy,less wiring and use standard pin connectors like what servos use! Now for the relay board, I guess I can use the existing wires to solder at the clean button on roomba panel. Just in case I cant get the signal to wake up from the Create 2 USB output pins. Has anyone ever opened up the Roomba to expose the Clean button contacts? I opened it a few times to look at brush wiring but looks like many screws to get at Clean button panel at top of Roomba....This is the image of new Star LED driver board,really neat!
