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....

Hey Nomad, Sure I could possibly get it working if it has controller problems. Would need it sent to my other location at cottage though.

The new motor controller works great lots of torque, would rip my hand off if I tried to stop the wheel. I do need to buy some new rubber wheels as the originals went on not balanced but still work in the grassy bumpy fields here.

Thanks for the sharing this controller. The 20 amp heavy duty Cytron 20--50 Amp h bridge dual motor controller looks really nice at a good price (around $35 usd). I like the control options. However Cytron's overview on their website is a bit confusing. They have the DIR and PWM header marked as Output. When you look at the datasheet they are marked as input. LOL. Obviously they are Inputs but maybe I'm missing something.

You are correct there Dave, obvious mistake they made as those are the simple inputs that go to robot controller data output.Easy to add on any robot controllers like the Ezb.

Well I am ready to switch over the Cylon body from the indoors Roomba wheel base to my newly modified outdoors ATV styled wheel base. Can move extremely fast but I will limit the robot to human walking speed over my bumpy grass fields out here.Here I will also simply use my old IPhone 4s voice express Cylon App for real time talk back of the Chat gpt A.I. in communicating conversations with the Cylon, also much of the Ezb feedback messages from robot exploration of the field.
