I have finally started my wall-e project. I have desided to keep it simple due to my lack of income at age 12. I have gutted my Wall-e u-command(mostly) and are waiting the arrival of my ez-kit.
(He is sad)
His eyes are saging that way naturally. Most of the parts i took out(not many until i have the kit)

I will be posting live here Saturday when i build my wall-e robot. Tune in!
Hey, i noticed the ir receiver(x2) in the wall-e. Could it be posible to configure the ez-b to use this and it to be able to be controlled without my laptop?
EDIT:Could they be used for a home base setup(autonomous return to home)?
I am not sure about ir receiver. But that little walle looks like a great little project. Make sure to take some pictures of your progress for us to follow.
yep for sure. my cousin is going to help me when i get the kit in march. Might repost the project if it gets knocked down before then.
Saved the motors for some other project.
Ez-b has shipped so waiting for it to arrive
EZ-b will be in on monday so saturday i will be posting live while building. Feel free to tune in and give suggestions on the head, eyes, neck, track, etc.
Have started moding the toys battery pack to allow 9V to power ez-b. Will put in parallel with included battery pack.
Got the kit so tune in on my live build saturday.
Sweet! Have a good time with it. Remember, although 9v is plenty of voltage to drive the board, it's not a lot of AMPs to drive all the servos and other goodies you are likely to add. It's a fine start, but consider longer life voltage.
I tend to tether my Wall-E to a 6v 4.5 Amp/hour gel with a long cord when developing and testing.
Ok thanks will look into that.
Thinking I will just use rechargeable AA batteries. Have a bunch of sales in south-western Ontario right now.
