she is right,if you look at ebay night camera's they only use 6, i have one apart will post it and 32 draws more then 650 ma if you do ohms law using 6 is little over 120 ma also perfect idea is to use the photcell to adjust the lighting sometimes need only little light,some little more sometimes all on,circuit might very hard,since you need a constant current source and voltage to current conveter circuit,i can design the CIRCUIT

Funny you say that , his drive system isn't loud and with sound deadening its a small humm , I could for sure freak out a neighbor lol. I will keep IR and regular LEDs seperate because IR LEDs use a different voltage so mixing them is going to leave LEDs over or under powered. I plan to have IR for total night vision and visible light as well.

@sam yea lots of cams have the IR LEDs sourrounding the camera lense with little to no space and there is nothing to keep light from reflecting off.the inside of the cover and glaring into the camera. These lights I'm planning on being mid torso and I thought of having 4 or LEDs on the head , two on each ear to get light directed specifically where Jarvis looks incase he turns his head from straight forward or.looks up.

@robotmaker yes the Ir I will use are 60 ma each so they draw more but they are not on all the time , its going to be a sacrifice to make for low light functionality.

That's awesome that he's quiet.

I mentioned being sneaky cause I like hiding in wait for my dog to come around the corner. ;o) But yeah Jarvis is big enough to where he might scare someone. But even for checking out your house when you are not away if you leave lights off then you'd want some solid night vision. I have cameras around my house and one on the tv stand pointing at the couch so I can check on my dogs. One like to eat the couch and the other is just really old. Having the night vision is important.

Ok so here's my wish list which can be updated

-get me a drink from the fridge and tell one brand from another by glyph or logo -vacuum the floors + sanitized w UV germicidal light -security bot for when I'm away -control heating /air by voice command -warn me of co2 gas in my house -follow me and play music

  • when o need a flashlight I could ask him to turn his lights on

Stretch goals -walk the dog -a.answer the door

  • self charging at a base or outlet -ai and speaking -wax the hardwood floor
  • water my plants

What has been done or planned out already?

-get me a drink from the fridge and tell one brand from another by glyph or logo (I think it only recognizes those glyphs, now roborealm is a vision program. Haven't tried it yet but am planning on it. From my understanding you can teach it what each one is and it will recognize it. But DJ also mentioned opencv. He said EZ supports it.)

-vacuum the floors + sanitized w UV germicidal light - vacuum is in process from the looks - UV light I have mixed feelings about. They kill some but bread super germs. A nice bioactive product is better.

-security bot for when I'm away (This seems doable but would depend on battery)

-control heating /air by voice command (I think that X10 home thing does this stuff)

-warn me of co2 gas in my house (Sensor?)

-follow me and play music (have you looked at Roborealm for vision and tracking? There are talks of support between EZ-B)

  • when o need a flashlight I could ask him to turn his lights on

Stretch goals -walk the dog (yeah I think is too small, I would be worried someone would steal my robot and dog)

-a.answer the door (This I think is possible)

  • self charging at a base or outlet (OK now in the leaf software they have written some programming for this, you could also look at Spykee. He has a base and uses ir to go back home when batt low. I have him apart and could send you details pics of the insides) You can also get his SDK from the site. For the programming aspect of it.

-ai and speaking (this could also be addressed with LEAF or similar software. I was talking with a friend that is talking about taking the Q.bo files and trying to integrate)

-wax the hardwood floor (This may be hard, I don't know if you have ever used one of those waxing machines but I am thinking you'd need a stronger body)

  • water my plants (this I think would be doable with some strong arms, depending on the vertical challenge thing.)

leaf would be perfect for all items you have listed CO2 GAS circuit i design them at work and i may have a sensor left controlled heating and AIR there is USB-UIRT it also has a code in LEAF ,plus turn and type of stereo,tv,X10 LEAF has a built in code to play any song off a hard drive,i made the code for it,water the plants is easy,getting a beer or drink from the REFRIG and pick the right one without logo or glyph is a circuit i design ,and working on to convert it to EZB,plus can set up to mix drinks answer the door i modify a circuit to do that with a greeting,and same with phone AI AND SPEAKING is LEAF all about,plus tells joks and very long list of more i forgot my biggest design autocharging and docking system that works will LEAF LEAF does have low battery,i for got when he dsays when the low battery comes up but like any voice controlled in LEAF the code very is to modify LEAF MICRONTROLLER DOES HAVE I THING 256 DIGITAL I/O MAYBE MORE not like the 20 on EZB

Yeah see I am barely scratching the surface. Hahahaha....
