I know I should finish Melvin before starting a new build but Josh's Jarvis has inspired me to give my JARVIS a physical form.
Some already are aware that I already have a JARVIS like system installed in my whole house which carries out a multitude of tasks from being an automatic PVR (like Tivo but better), controlling the heating and hot water system, controlling lights... too much to list really but one day I will attempt it.
Anyway, since it doesn't currently use ARC or an EZ-B I haven't posted much about it on here, but that's changing for 2 reasons...
- To inspire you guys to open a can of awesomeness and
- Because finally JARVIS will become a real robot rocking an EZ-B.
Basing the design around a RAD V1 robot
So far all I've done to the RAD is stripped it down - why they soldered every connection is beyond me!..
A lot of the choices I make on this project will be chosen by JARVIS. I will be adding some scripting so that I can ask him things like "What colour do you want to be?" and he will choose... this should make it interesting
Like I said, his brain is existing and has been for around 2 years, with new features being added all the time. You know what, let JARVIS tell you himself a little bit about him
For more, check out Jarvis Youtube Channel or www.JARV15.com (under construction)

NOT coming as a bad guy really,but will keep the comments off you post,on bad spelling will post since others said about my bad spelling an now i have spell checker.
@josh thanks
, All I need now is to hook up an electronic lock and have the door open for the larger deliveries when I'm not there
I bet that would freak out the delivery guy if a robot answered the door
I did that with a robot with a different board and software,i really freak my UPS guy when he answer the door and the robot open it. I had it part open so he just pull on the door and said hi,cant post photos since not a ezb project yet.
BUT hope you share all your codes for everyone.
@rich ha ha ha , I have daydreamed the same thing , i can see the delivery driver getting confused when a signature is required. Lol Jarvis can just tell him to sign for him.
MMM JOSH thats a good idea and may be it can be done, i bought some cool medic scanners and fingerprint scanners.
That is so Awesome Rich! I totally love that.
Thanks Bret.
A few more possible additions using EZ-Bs for integration with Jarvis...
Stair lighting... IR sensors built in to the top and bottom steps. TIP switching transistors on 14 digital outputs. LED Strip installed in the underside of the banister in 14 sections. LED Strip switched from TIP switches.
When someone or something triggers the IR sensor at the bottom the LED strips are illuminated one by one with slight delay from bottom to top. When the top IR sensor is triggered the strips stay on for 2 minutes (or so) then turn off, one by one from bottom to top like when they turned on. If the bottom IR sensor is triggered again without the top being triggered the lights turn off from top to bottom. The same but the other way around for the top sensor.
It's something I could use a different microcontroller for but let's face it, the EZ-B is easier to use and costs around the same.
And, the auto blinds... Venetian blind with twisty rod for opening & closing. Rod removed, servo attached to mechanism. LDR (light dependant resistor) fitted in window. Temperature sensor fitting in window. When light outside, blinds set to open by moving the servo to the correct position. When dusk blinds set to close by moving the servo to the correct position in increments defined by light level. When hot i.e. sunny blinds set to angle up deflecting sunlight by moving the servo to the correct position. When "movie mode" activated blinds set to close. On voice commands blinds set to specified position.
