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....

OMG!!!! You know that I am German, right??? This look delicious...cannot look away!!!!!!!!
Ha ya, my brother works at construction so when one building was done the other workers left about 6 mini kegs Heineken down in the basement, so guess who took them all ...Yep,delicious!
Update---The docking seek battery function works great even with full body on. Still trying to figure out a simple solution to wake it up after it docks to recharge. The ControlCommand functions don't seem to work after docking ,EZB tiny can sit there and do all kinds of other wonderful things while docked, like keep camera at door way for intruder or play MP3 music, chat but just not able to move unless I were to buy a remote control and press the Clean button twice, 60 dollar solution I think but I still need to be there to do it. A timed date clock function can be programmed in to activate everyday at the same hour and minute or just a certain day and time,but I need to lift up the body to access the buttons then.I found some Arduino and Irobot forums where they discuss how to send a wake up signal while docked but I am hoping for a simple programming code in ARC that could do this more easy.
I use a rellay connected to the start button to wake him up when the battery is charged.
Yes many people have done that surgery with the relay but surely it works with connecting the roomba pins 5 and 7 as a quick pulse, I heard there is a glitch in all the Roomba that need a Firmware update to make it work on the charger dock and using code in any computer software.
I have a 560 and tried the periodic brc pulse but did not work. The relay works for me.
Ya I have not yet tried to add the wire there yet because I did read it won't work for many people. Unless firmware upgraded and if you have any model under 650 there is no wifi to transfer firmware upgrade unless you buy a special data transfer device. Mine is the create2 650 type using the USB serial cable ,there should be a way to transfer firmware.Just need to keep researching that.
Having some fun with the cool Cylon voice actually coming out of his Google mini Bluetooth speaker and running the google British modified Text to speech engine on my Samsung S20 phone,running ARC Mobile with a script I made earlier this year and put in the Synthiam cloud for Mobile Arc.Now this also works with Pandorabots and answers my Questions using that voice!
Oh ya,I did drop that head like 50 times so it is needing some Glue again inside the nose split!
