As I said before, I've been working on a 24 DOF humanoid robot (what i believe to be the most DOF in a EZ-Robot humanoid) and I finally have a good camera to show him off! As you can see, his two wrist microservos are currently off. (I'm waiting for my threadlocker to glue/bolt these on) and as is his head (it hasn't come yet, same as the EZ-B v4):D

All I need now is to extend the leg cables and get a bigger battery, glue the head and hands/wrists on, and he's ready!

Feel free to comment, if you have any suggestions, tell me!

(P.S, this IS a custom robot. This is not a standard Robotis robot.)

also, the pictures were taken later at night, so please excuse the darkness.

What kind of servos are you using?

How are you currently controlling them? I thought you've mentioned once before but I can't remember.;)

hi .i have too tree bioloids.they are great robots. how tall will your robot be.

The Robotis Dynamixel servos use their own type of serial communication. What kind of microservos are you using as I did not think that Robotis made any? Is your intent to control the bot with the EZ-B when you get it? If so, how? My understanding is the EZ-B does not support Dynamixel servos. I know from another thread that DJ ordered one to see what he could do but no progress report yet.

robotis has mini servo's and mini servo motors.you can find them in ollo pakkets.the are exspencive too. and you need to rewrite your task before they work.they dont chow up in servo manager. and you need to uncheck the safety in manager for that servo cause els he thinks its blokking, otherwise you cant grip anything.als keep an eye on the time ,by uncheck the servo doesn stop by overheating. if you use the AX-12a

I'm actually using microservos I just bought from radio shack. :D The EZ-B v4 can control dynamixels, actually (according to a EZ-robot support email). What he said doesn't work is the feature where you can control servos by plugging them into another servo and making a daisy-chain.
