Omnibot 2000 , Rad 2.0 Vacuum Bot

Skip to comments Jump to end

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.

its not about positions ,it about how much the robot can lift,mainly you need it to tell if you have a full glass or empty glass,the sensors you are going to use on the fingers cant do that ,mostly for pressure not really weight of the item,the pressure sensors you are using are great to find out if more or less servo pressure is need for a certain object,flex sensors are a variable resistor as more weight is apply to the arm i think the value goes down,but could go up too depending how its connected second on using flex or pressure sensor need to set up as a voltage divider,unless a board has it already

also when using most sensors ,except utrasonic and few others like using light sensors and IR SENSORS you need a small thin film of cast acrylic to cover it from dust,and as a vacuum cleaner robot should be using it,accuracy will drop a lot or no sensing at all

Is there a sensor/digital port shield that could hook up to EZ-b? Seems a shame to have multiple boards. How will 2 talk to each other?

I think it's good you removed some of the sensors.

Just an idea for some of holes depending on where they are.

My head had a hole for some simon says pad. I took it out and put clear plastic with cabishon in it. Lights will shine and look like his brain activity

SFOY i am working on a design,i order the parts needed,both for DIGITAL and ANALOG it will be fairly easy to make AND add to EZB no processor is needed only digital chips,have 8 more digital or more,,and 8 to 16 analog ports it will need 2 analog ports so total is 15 analog or 23 analog inputs for other not good at soldering or making boards i can do the service free made well over hundreds of boards so easy and fun for me latter on ,looking to have PCB'S made for them
