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....

Nice video robo rad. Thanks for sharing.
Ya it is great to have an excuse to avoid visiting family, I can keep saying I'm too busy to travel anywhere, rather work on the Cylon,LoL! Adding my Sonar sensor to the mouth,Already programmed and ready.
Cylon has the EZ camera connected for X And Y servo motions. So it can seem to look for movements or colors in a room by tilting up down left and right, much better than having cam hooked to just base Roomba movements. More life like as it seems to stare at people moving around. Will make up some voice scripts for when it see humans.
THE IO Tiny suddenly stopped working after recharging a battery the next day it would flicker on and off and now just a flashing blue light that never connects. OH well ,back to the ezb4. The Tiny did get a lot of use with Roomba! At least now with the Ez4 UART port I can now tap into the Roomba sensor streams! Which can't be done on the Tiny software serial port.
I'm glad you're back working on your robot. Looks like you're having a lot of fun. Good progress so far.
I wonder what happened to your IoTiny? Bad connector or loose wiring maybe? What a drag.
Ya for sure Dave, I missed working on the big bot, I just Inquired about replacing the old chrome head with a new one for 2022,no scratches! But ya I loved the Tiny the cool light show when it starts up, was used many hours on the Roomba power supply 12-15 volts, possibly more reliable with 7.4 battery.
We are just enjoying the BBC America Doctor Who Marathon, I heard the Daleks will kill the Female Doctor Who in the new special and will be replaced by either another Woman or a male, we shall see!..
Robot works great exploring the larger room still need to fix the sonar before fully autonomous.Head /cam tracking exploring the room is awesome!
