Built out matching 1500 MAH NiMH packs (one per foot) also aux power from either battery back to run the EZB. Should run for a bit between charges.
Well on to building frames for actions.

DJ Sures named this robot Master Blaster. Dont ask us why, he still doesnt know. But hes pretty simple and is remote...

I have decided to start my InMoov project. I think I will call him Spock out of respect to Leonard Nimoy who passed away...
Animator28's AVA (Advanced Visual Android)
Hello Motherboard is installed with windows 10 and arc installed. So now can program directly into the robot and easily...
That is SWEEEEET
Thanks, this should be a lot of fun. Need to figure out a good support to keep him upright while I work on frames and adjust for his CG. He really needs to be supporting his weight to get the positioning right with so many DOF.
Nice, Please upload a video when he starts moving.
Very awesome! I'm really excited to see videos also!
The Auto Position control with movement is perfect. Take a look at the example robophilo project as a start
Well that was interesting, just set the speed down real slow, and started a nice smooth motion to stand on one leg. Fortunately I am running him off a bench power supply. Watched the current go to almost 2 amps, with all the weight on the left leg!
Looking at the servo spec, it says they will take up to 7.4v at 1.4 amps each at stall ! I am not sure I believe that spec. The original batteries were 6v, and he would run for about 15 mins on a 1000 mAH battery just walking. I am a bit nervous since Hitec does not make these servos any more, and they are hard to find if I toast one.
The knee took the weight but got more than a bit warm to the touch.
Am I just being paranoid?
Here is the servo spec if you are wondering.
Darn Knee servo went. stress
I can't tell from the pic but is there a fan on the ez-b?
