Now I have the EZ-B kit and the Hearoid it's time to start my Showcase thread.
I still haven't decided on a name for him yet, all suggestions are welcome.
I won this robot on ebay weeks ago, for the past 2 weeks he has been waiting for me to collect him...
Today was the day, a road trip to pick him up and bring him back to his new home...
In his new home (with Omnibot and Wall-e in the background totally unaware they are next in line to be opened up)
It wasn't long before this happened...
Now waiting to go in the dishwasher to get nice and clean.
The plan is to make him autonomous, running 24/7 (except for when he knows to go charge himself up) but will also be adding in the various image tracking options.
The only other slight modifications to be made to him are to convert the head to tilt & pan which will involve having to give him a small neck.
The head will include the camera. I haven't yet decided to fit it in one of his eyes or to make it his nose. The issue to overcome with this is the blue tint on the bubble head. The mouth will have a light or some lights in which flicker when he speaks.
The arms will be given some life with servos at the shoulder joints and the elbows provided I can get them to fit in there nicely.
Ultrasonic sensor will be in his chest, probably on a servo to give a wider view.
Original drive wheels and gearbox seem to be in very good shape so will plan to reuse those and just replace the existing motors for the modified servos if they can manage the task.
Speaker and microphone will be in the original positions - if it's not broke why fix it?
Not too big a project but enough to give me a test, help me learn and bring an old robot back to life.

Added in the script and a couple of schematics. It's great, I copy and paste my script, re-read it to make sure it's copied over OK and end up adding things to it... I'm sure I'll make a few more tweaks to it before I'm done too.
I'll add in the strip board underside blob diagram tomorrow I expect, it's easier to do those in AutoCAD which is on a different computer and I'm too lazy to go upstairs... Once I've got all of that together I'll copy & paste it all in to it's own tutorial post in the hardware section.
i see you are using 2 AD ports ,can be done and still work the same with 1 AD port and 1 extra chip will draw circuit latter of my design best reason is to use 1 AD port there is only 8 ports
IT ca lled multiplexing ,but a guess a schematic is better then words.might be able to do the circuit on my lunch break

if not using all 8 adc ports i guess its not a problem most build i see use all ADC ports and still need more,like a second ADC
ON script it can be changed to measure one and then measure the second ADC HAVENT look at the script ,might need to compare them ,that easy i dont know if there is a hold script ,but a simple S&H can easy make
WE have something a little like that in one of the tester design and most very good multimeters have it too
THERE a design all analog and digital logic i made that takes 10 samples and hold the value for a compare
i see you have a avatar face for missing brackets ,good way is to place it on cloud and have a link too it,this way easy to find if others need it. thn this is not needed

from what i see only need a $.25 chip and a cap for hold circuit ,and multiplex circuit does need a digital port to switch between cell 1 and cell 2
