So these are my questions can anyone help please.
I want to put EZ into a display case and when power is given to EZ I need it to perform for a short time and then power down.
Does it come with pre installed moves to entertain or do we have to programme them all?
When power is given to the robot will it operate the same performances that were last requested. IE perform a set of manoeuvres for say 3 minutes, power down,
Then power up re perform the same manoeuvres>
Will it perform without an external device ie as above just because power is switched on? I don't want anyone messing with an app on a phone, I just want kids to see a performance for a set period of time.
If EZ falls over will he automatically right himself?
Is EZ aware of his surroundings ie will he hit a wall or see the wall and stop?
Does EZ have voice recognition itself without an app?

Exactly.
And the community here will help with the tricky parts (getting it to respind to a switch, power questions).

Brilliant thanks. Speak tomorrow or Minday.
Again, I will remind you that EZ-Robot will pass on this opportunity and will not warranty product for this use. Thanks and best of luck!
Got it thanks.
Here are a few links to help know what you need.
for a power supply, you need something that can supply 20 amps because Servos draw a lot of power when they first start up, and JD ahs a lot of servos. See this tutorial by @Steve G: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/UserTutorials/163/1 and this one by Techno: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/UserTutorials/170/1
You'll need to remove the battery from JD and connect to the power supply. I don't have a JD, so I can't provide specific instructions, but it should be pretty self evident. I don't know if he uses a DEANS or a Mini-DEANS connector, but you'll need one of those (they only cost a few cents).
For a computer, there are a lot of small, cheap, windows computers available that would be more than sufficient for your needs. See this thread for several suggestions: https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/8714
If you want to use voice commands, most of those will need an external microphone.
Triggering a script which starts your "routing" is super simple. Just connect the micro-switch to the signal and ground pins on a spare digital port of the EZ-B and then have a script wait for the pin to go high to start the routine.
I or someone else here can provide more guidance when the time comes. In the mean time, I suggest taking the Revolution JD course https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Course/1 to familiarize yourself with how to assemble and use JD and get some ideas about what you will be able to do with it. Reading through the script manual https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/UserTutorials/169/1 and ARC manual https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx can also help get you ready for the arrival of your JD.

Alan, you keep responding to help this individual after each ezrobot's response that this is not an application ezrobot warrants use for
- might be confusing for this person if you're still providing assistance.
I see DJ's message and I can only say thank you so much to all who have given me such valuable assistance.
I note DJ message and can only ask "then what is the robot used for".
It comes down to my last message about marketing.
Alan and others have given me a great insight into the robot but I don't understand DJs comment.
If this project is not what the robot is to be used for then what is it to be used for?
My application will interest 100 if not thousands of people and may help to sell the robot.
Is this forum just for people who are so immersed in the product that they forget any applications to get the outside world interested?
Frankly with respect I don't understand, but thanks anyway.
Kind regards
Sorry DJ, I thought you were just talking about not supplying the auto-running demo version you made for Brookstone.
I was answering technical questions with technical guidance similar to questions and answers many have asked and even you and your own staff have answered (Jeremie has provided a lot of guidance on power supplies).
Is it because he is going to charge money to have the robot interact? I didn't realize that commercial use of EZ products invalidated the warrenty. Do Will and David know that? They might want to choose a different direction for Alan and Rafiki if they can't warranty part of the product.
