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?

Great job ! Plz continue fast with your work. Wanna see more pic's and vid's.
Greetz,

I like the sweeper arms. You thinking about using the sharp IR sensors on those?
Josh, if you don't have a degree in Engineering, they should give you an honorary one.
It is something to realize that you have never done this before.
Amazing! Of course the EZB does make it easier.
:D
@Brett yes I was going to use short range 4cm to 30 cm IR on the tip of the brush arm so if somthing gets too close the arm closes. Thats how it works in my head anyways lol
@Mel thanks man. All the planning and designing and learning has made me want to go back to school. Im just not sure what for lol
Ok dusty gets a front facing display like his big brother. Since the computer controlling him is in another room I can wirelessly recieve the video signal to make adjustmentsbsee errors battery levels ect. This also sets dusty up in case he ever gets his own mini itx pc...
So Josh, just curious... do you ever actually "cook" on your stove or is it your permanent workbench
Dusty is looking good BTW
...and I am still working through your Omni thread, but peeked ahead only to see that it continues on in another... arrrgggg
How do you do all that, keep up on other's projects AND surf ebay... amazing
Excellent time management ... lol. Im use to hopping from one thing to another because the nature of epoxy and adhesive s is they really need 24 hours to cure and that is only 80 percent cured! Fully cured can take 3 to 5 days to full hardness. Till then epoxy is soft and a huge pain to cut because it gums up drill bits and sand paper ect. It also fuels creativity because we find solutions to problems when we arent focused directly on that project. So im more productive having a smaller side project to work on when I need to think...... oh yeah we cook every couple of days I just like the lighting on the stove lol. I surf ebay and ez robot more than facebook
As far as dusty goes he will be moving shortly after recieving the ez board and ez robot camera. I assembled a pan and tilt bracket for the camera
As for as the sharp sensors, mine operated flaky. they would give me false ratings. I have used them on prior robots fine. But, they did not play well with the EZB. I think it had to do with the amount of voltage. But, that is my 2 cents.
Hope that this helped.
