Hello EZ Robot! Meet Dusty, he is a omnibot torso and I currently have the choice of robbie at head or a omnibot done where you can see inside. He will handle a few basic functions and us made more simple than his big brother Jarvis.
- He can vacuum (which is loud) with power brush and impeller
- He can "sweep" nearly silent by running the power brush at a reduced voltage and a small DC blower providing low level auction. 3.dusty will have two germicidal bulbs ,.one facing downward to the floor and another behind intake fans that not only cool electronics but it pulls air through a Honeywell two stage carbon filter. 4.dusty has 4 build in filters foam pre filter , and 3 carbon filters.
- He will have a camera on pan tilt bracket. He will be controlled by Bluetooth or wifi.
- Long runtime , 2 x 12v 7ah batteries.
Any other suggestions guys?

They are rated at 50 ma
Yup, at 50 mA then an 80 Ohm will do the trick... IR light from 12-13v without smoke
I am actually using a pre-built IR rig from an old broken security cam. But I just found a collection of IR LEDs that I bought years ago... so I might start making my own illuminator rig for better placement on my Gunnerator.
Sorry for filling your thread with all those pics... they come out fairly large
Very nice schematics...
Its all good gunner. I will probably start the light array tonight. Its a "small" project. I may do half visible white led and half IR. That way it can switch based on ambient lighting. I will post picks tonight we will see
Ok I completely forgot to make the IR illumination the other night. I came straight home and passed out. Anyways it was better to wait because I had not recieved the camera shipment yet. I recieved them friday so im ready to mod som cams and create mounts inside the dome. I potentially will use plexi but most likely I will use wood.
Slacker...
Based on my tests, don't bother with white LED's, except for aesthetics... the IR will work much better with the IR filter removed. With the filter, I needed sooooo much LED lighting that it looked like a redneck pickup on a dear hunt
OK, OK, so I like that look
I picked up perf board to use in making the illuminator. Also I have about 170 Ultrabright IR LEDS to use for all the robots which hopefully is enough because I paid a lot for these leds. They are 850 nm visible spectrum.
