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....

So I should give a plug to my bud Scott Maple as I get all my Cylon Chrome from him,even though he is just 20 minute drive from me I just get everything shipped over anyway.He has a web site at kropserkel.com but the home screen is always blank you need to click in the top corner Skip intro,to get to the main Menu and see all the cool movie props he builds. He was contacted by producers of the Battlestar Galactica Revival mini series movie back in 2003 for the Museum scene showing off the classical Cylon in a glass case.He has the photo on his web site plus many more....
I ran into this funny vid browsing youtube...
Aww daisy we have the Fire inspector coming over tomorrow to check for safety so I actually need to hide all my big 12 volt motorcycle batteries used on the robot,I am constantly trickle charging them all. Would not look very safe in a small apartment! Also the 5 foot Cylon standing in a corner with a mess of wires hanging out also would not look very safe.So everything is on hold as I take it apart for now.
hi roborad
is that standard procesure to have fire inspection?
I think so in Ontario Canada as, Every apartment I ever rented in Ontario .I always had a visit from the Fire Martial sometimes partnered with a cop twice per year, Mainly to check on working smoke/C02 detectors and that there are no cheap dollar store electrical 4 in one adapters plugged in electrical outlets as they start many house fires. Just like my big 12 volt batteries unsupervised can explode and start fires. If you have ever seen a 12 volt car battery explode like a huge bomb,it's not pretty. I had 1 explode in my car when I was trying to boost it.lucky I was not near it.
actully is that a good thing.we in belgium have only hospitals and elderly homes shops restaurants and new house for inspection. i had one cell phone batt explotion here.also loud and lots off smoke.good yourre ok.
Working on the scripting and timing for the Guns sequence using EZB sending signal to the 8 channel relay board and testing with the old Terminator script,just modifications to the Wrist motor timing it takes about 45 seconds before the gun sequence happens.
Well I got the high torque neck motor working with power but I found out my old motor L298 H-Bridge is now dead,too old. So plan B is to use the same 8 channel relay board that I'm using for Hand/Gun motors connected to EZB4.The tricky part will be to figure out the head/camera tracking as before it was easy to combine with H-bridge just like a servo control in camera tracking options.I have an idea how to do this but it will take some fancy scripting!
