Just got my ominibot in for my Sunshine Project!
** I was going to give an actual realistic account of every step of the construction of the project. But, when I looked back, it seemed to be a collection of Negative thoughts. So, I have forgotten all of the Negative thoughts and have edited them out. It is sort of like having a baby. It is painful at first , but once the baby is born. Or, in the case of Frankenstein, "It's Alive!" "It's Alive!" , you forget all of the pain and behold your new creation. So, I will simply record the steps that worked and NOT the ones that didn't. Many times after finishing a project and making all the mistakes, I learn how NOT to do certain things.**
:-)
Good news, I have made arrangements to buy some parts over the next two months. I hope to find that the parts that I am buying will include enough for me to put this all together.
God Bless All of You that will follow and Support me in my journey.
Sincerely,
Mel Addison

MovieMaker, I look forward to reading your posts. I admire your energy and determination, you are doing great. Thank you for sharing with us. Steve S
OK, I see now that you have a HORN inside attached with 4 screws. That was the mystery part that was not mentioned anywhere. I appreciate all the time and effort explaining this to me. This tutorial is priceless!
:D
OK, Well .... I have got my two shoulders made. Getting ready to dive into the elbo. I made some mistakes and it was quite interesting. But, in the end, I got them to work if only temporarily. I now know the mistakes I have made and will correct them. I had ordered some 3" flex hose for the arms, but now , I think they are going to need 4" or at least 3.5".
Question 4U Mr. A. are we using more than:
one Lazy Susan in the kneck. one LZ in each arm.
I ordered two LZ for the arms and one for the neck.
Thanks, Mel
thank You my friend.
OK! here is my plan.
I will get the powerboards,Lazy susan,paint, and pay off the 2nd Omni. Next first which is September. In October, I will get the Mimo Monitor and terminal strips. In November, I will get misc. Hardware from my full allowance. In November, I will be wiring Sunshine. In December, I will be programming Sunshine.
That is my Plan. Wish me Luck!
:)
@Steve S, Thanks for your support. Talk about determination. I was holding something. Things slipped. I forgot to put on my gloves and I just drilled through the palm of my hand by mistake. ouch! But, I kept on going. It is guys on the forum like you that keep me going. I have gotten the shoulders to work. I am waiting on the second omni so I can complete the arms and hand. I am starting out with already made hands and maybe will change them later.
God Bless! and take care.
:D
Hey Guys, a little Update ****
I think I got the head pretty well finished.
I will keep you updated as I progress. Pix to follow once I get batteries for my camera.
Hey Guys!
I am still in the Hunt and Gathering stage. But, things are moving faster than I expected. Hope to have a good report for you soon.
@MCSDAVER, Hope to see you printing parts soon. But, be careful selecting a printer. Lots of Horror stories out there.
Thanks for your support!
