Hello all, I wanted to start my own thread to discuss my Inmoov and my conversion to EZ Robot. I appreciate all the work by the MRL guys but I struggle with it. I am indebted to the help they gave me but I needed something a little more along in development with some documentation.

So here is my guy. Pretty standard build as far as inmoov's go.

Here's the back. All the standard inmoov components. Dual 256 Megas, Nervo boards USB hub, Power supplys etc.

So the tear down begins. I need to clean up that wiring too. What a rats nest!

I just received my EZR controller and camera so I have no idea how to program it yet. I figured I would at least try to set up a GUI that allows me to manually move the servos like the MRL swing GUI. Five or six hours later and a few tutorials and I have this three screen model. I was easily able to add way more than basic servo control.

Here is the main control screen. Contains the face tracking speech functions and a custom Pandorabot for AI. Some MS cognitive stuff as well.

Here is the second screen. Head functions with a mouth control servo, neck, torso, and the 2 neopixel rings I have.

Third screen is for the arms and hands

So now I pretty much have all the same functionality I had in MRL give or take. I am pretty sure I am not doing this entirely correctly but it will come with time. Need to get into the scripting. I guess there are some tutorials to watch. So far my experience has been pretty good and in a day eclipsed my MRL progress of the last 6 months.

I'll update this thread with my progress and appreciate any feedback.

So I had the chance to get out into the garage and do some welding. I like metal working. So I added a pipe segment to my stand. It really is odd working on it now because it is so tall. I need to step on something to get into the head.

Legs are done now. He's about 5' 9" tall. Things all painted up.

Time to exercise those servos. Just setup a few autopositions and made them voice activated. Now that printing is done it is time to hit the programming.

Oh yeah, turn down the volume, my audio picks up awful servo noise for some reason.

What is life without Music? He likes Primus and Janes Addiction. Crazy I know. Shouldn't have used a random seed on the A.I. Just what I need, another rebellious teen.

Nice job, Perry, that’s a great looking InMoov! The legs are a lot of printing and work but worth it.
