i see where4 i said about getting the bonus meter its a few comments back,i should been on a different thread .i see others have so comments off topic too when looking at other posts JOSH if you was much clser i would grap a screw driver to help,i hate to rush any projects

Hahaha... yeah I know what you mean. J... if you were closer to me I would so be down to grab a screw driver, dremel.... anything. I have more tools than most guys. I am overly helpful to a fault at times. :o) I am trying not to rush. But I can't wait to see. I will try to be patient. I am female though. Sorry... Now I am however available if you ever want to chat about ideas etc. You can hit me up directly at [email protected] If you email me I can shoot you my number. I know how sometimes it's just good to talk/text it out with someone. Especially with someone that is interested. I try to talk to people around me but they are uninterested so I am normally more frustrated. Oh I do wish you were closer. Would be awesome to have someone to work on things with.

Now back to topic....

Having some sort of AI would be awesome in Jarvis. Especially since his namesake is a sort of assistant. I have started playing with LEAF but I have not put it in a bot and have been busy so haven't gotten very far. Plus I am trying to figure out the programming aspects of it. I have looked at a few other options but LEAF really does seem the easiest to integrate. If this is something you are serious about doing, now is probably the time to figure that out. LEAF does have it's own board. It's pretty big but Robotmaker has developed his own, smaller model.

Now doesn't EZ-B work with that X10 home thing? I think it would be awesome to be able to have him turn stuff on/off etc. It kind of goes with his home servant thing.

Do you have a wish list? Like things you want... vs things you have done? I'd be happy to help in anyway I can.

Your bot is really impressive. I have found it inspiring. I even found myself looking on ebay for one... But next project.

As you can see this.makes the task of building a Infrared illuminator for your robots camera very easy. The PCB is already made and bezel and reflector fits standard 5mm LEDs which are easy to come by in bulk prices to make them just pennies. I will remove these white LEDs and solder in IR ones instead. This method can be used on any bot for larger amount of illumination so your robots vision tracking still works in low or no light.

you goiung to replace all of them and are you using cover,idea just replace a few only and leave the others in place ,you have both type of lights ,night and dark,IR does take more current to drive them but depends on how LUX or low level light you need

also about you package,since i have 2 packages coming in ,usps and freight truck sorry will need to send friday

J... that does not look like a fun soldering job. Might be easier to replace some as suggested above but if you are trying to have night only vision, would be a problem.

#591  

Well its 32 LEDs , it would take 30 to 45 minutes to solder in new ones. What do you mean night only vision is a problem.

If you have it where you only switch out some of the led's as robot maker suggested. Where you have ir's and normal. And if you decide at some point you want to be a sneaky boy, and send Jarvis out in dark to sneak up on someone.

You would want no additional light and would want only ir's to come on. If you did as suggested above you would not be able to be sneaky sneaky. Plus I tried something similar with my security system at home (I live in the ghetto) the led's create a glare and the night vision is poopie. But my set up was around the camera. I am assuming these lights are further away from your camera then mine were.

Now with a big guy light Jarvis, I am sure he's loud enough where it's not too likely you will be sneaky so it sounds like a good idea. That way you'd have dual purpose lights, make sense?
