This project has evolved some , the basic rundown is I'm modding two Omnibots , one a regular the other a larger 2000 model. I will have two ezb kits , rad base idea was thrown out because of so much noise but could go back on the table if the omnibot drivetrain is too weak to pull it.

This summer I am hacking my old RL 500 Robomower and turning it into an autonomous robot using the EZ-B. I started the...
Second EZ board
Digital 1.neck side to side servo 2.neck left to right servo 3. Neck front to back tilt 4.right shoulder 5.right angle shoulder 6.right elbow servo 7.right claw servo 8.left shoulder 9.left angle shoulder 10.left elbow servo 11.left claw servo 12. Proximity sensors 13. Proximity sensors 14. Proximity sensors 15. Proximity sensors 16. IR illuminator trigger 17. Flashlight trigger 18.deactivate video card trigger 19. Charge trigger
1.audio sensors 2.audio sensors 3.alcohol sensors 4.methane sensors 5.pressure sensors right claw 6.pressure sensors left claw 7.battery voltage check 8.
Ok I labeled some ideas on how to use the Ports of the two EZ boards. Do the ultrasonic sensors use just one digital port each? Some of these are optional as I would like to limit Jarvis to 2 EZ boards.
cost on robot building seems to never end,but its fun and sometimes it cost about the same as a car almost when the robot is done yes thats the current sense board,second you need 2 digital lines for ultrasonic sensor,called ping and trig or unless you are using a ping sensor by parallax now i am working on to make a 2 wire SR04 work like a 1 wire PING sensor by parallax i love my electronic designing alot
in the next week or 2 i will be putting up a circuit to get more digital ouputs from one EZB and the same for ANALOG inputs,so only one EZB is needed
That is how it works...
You got lots of sensors there...
major problem with adding a lot of sensors it less RUN TIME ,and adding a second battery not always good too,because more torque needed on the motors witch meen more current draw and then LESS RUN TIME again some sensors dont draw much current but adding them all up do
Wow Josh, that is cool!
on alcohol sensor ,i have many of them,could of gave you one methane i think only have 2 of them and sorry using them propane sensor is the same,got most of them from work as samples since gas test equipment is what we make a lot of,main item is freon leak detectors is the biggest item
JOSH why so many gas sensors,only really need a smoke detector very very rare do i see a need for a gas sensor except for propane and only if you have a gas stove at the factory where we make all types of GAS DETECTORS only one will sell is propane gas detector to the GAS company and technicians,we do make the others but sell very few
second i dont know if you know this but each type of gas sensors use a heater ,like in stoves but smaller and the draw a lot of current,thats how they work second are you not using flex sensors in the arm and shoulder it tell how much weight is lifted
second besides using much much current ,it looks like will all the se nsors and other add-ons you will need 3 board may be 4
my design will have close to what a human has ,except for the smell sensor ,very high right now $800
and what about the dirt sensor i sent you,it will need 2 digital lines for each one when i finish checking it out it will take some tiime,since ,work,home repairs my girlfriend wants done ,plus vacation comming up this sept 25 and then my omnibot project
Ok so removing.prox sensors and rear sonar , alcohol sensors and methane will open up 5 digital Ports and 2 adc. Eliminating the top of head sonar and motion detector as well. I will fill those holes. This.will make sure all the sensors left have digital Ports to support them plus another 3 are freed up.
@Robotmaker no IM not using flex sensors those would not be beneficial but all servos will know their.relative.positions.
