Hello, greetings to all robot builders, I am eager to receive the board ez-b, to give life to my butler robot, robot weighing 2.5 to 3 kg, the wheel servos are 15kg of torque, modified for continuous rotation, arms and head as well these servos, body materials are cheap and easy to find, I have a lot of ideas for the project that I'd like to share. Ping 3 sensors and 1 sharp infrared, head with 2-axis motion, arms opening and closing hands, voice, etc. .. And all thanks to the fantastic product ez-b, which by its ease and flexibility, have encouraged me with this project, since my childhood I came in my mind. Here is a video with the current assembly.

Upgrade to ARC Pro

Harnessing the power of ARC Pro, your robot can be more than just a simple automated machine.

Very cool robot, R2D2! I agree with all that he has a very interesting personality! I might suggest adding a varible speed for turning its head...just my thoughts :)

@ dschulpius hello! Long ago I did that and I did not remember, so I looked at the wiring of the buttons to ez-b and is connected between GND and digital signal port, then ARC is configured to read the digital port (two digital ports here, one for each side of the robot) @ irobot58 speed servo is a current feature, look at the date I started the project, at that time say that robots were a bit nervous.

OK, thanks. I need to give that a try. Do you have a script running that watches that digital port? I guess I don't understand how ARC knows to react when the button closes that attached to a digital port. In my project I'm using ADC ports for this and I state a variable in a script. When the voltage changes on that ADC port and reaches the variable stated the script will react the way I want it to. Could you share your script or project so I can see how your doing it?

The script is located on the first page of the project, under the pictures of the switch connections, I will look for the file and try and upload it to the cloud, although, it is written in the first versions of ARC. This script acts on the wheel servos that are continuously rotating, and colliding robot changes its course after a small reverse.

Ok the file is already in the cloud, but I notice that you have to remove the lines that include the command script sound_random I believe that this function was removed from ARC, dschulpius greetings!

Thanks for going through the trouble. Much appreciated! This will make for fun reading and will really help.

Thanks again! Dave

Although the video quality is horrible, I could not help post, I did it with an old phone and I found it by accident. I remember I spent all afternoon writing and tweaking a script to get the robot agarrase an object, leave him on a plate located in a particular place on the floor and return to his starting position, speaker beep tones in a robotic language. An adventure that brings back good memories, is therefore added. :)
