I would drill the switch hole as well, the smaller hole will make it easier to guide the larger bit. Locate the large black wrapped wire bundle and very carefully cut back some of the plastic wire coating. Be very carefull to not cut any of the wires.
Locate the white wire in the bundle. It should be the third wire from the right end of the wire connector. Cut about six inches from the included wire in the kit. Peel off the brown or black wire and strip both ends of the remaining two. Carefully solder the red wire to the white wire which disappears into the wire bundle. Solder the orange or yellow wire to the white wire that goes to the connector.
Slide the heat shrink tubing over the newly soldered connections. Shrink the tubing with the heat of your hsolder iorn or heat gun. Cut about nine inches of wire from the kit and peel away the orange or yellow wire. Strip the ends of the nine inch wire.
Solder the black or brown wire from the nine inch wire to both stripped ends of the black wire in the Robot. Solder the red wire from the six inch piece to a corner pin on the switch. Solder the orange or yellow wire from the six inch piece to the center pin of the same row as the red wire on the switch.
Solder the red wire from the nine inch piece to the remaining pin in the same row on the switch. Place the switch in the hole drilled on the back of the robot. Place a blob of hot glue over the switch wires to help prevent shorts. The Hot glue is optional, I just like it. That however wasn't always the case.
In this blog I'll be documenting my progress on the Robosapien into turning a pretty but dumb robot into a semi intelligent humanoid that can do things without a remote control. Sunday, August 24, General Info. You might have read about making a servo move in other articles in Raspberry Pi Geek , but DC motors, like those used in Robosapien, are quite a different beast altogether.
As innovative companies consistently push the envelope of progress, antiquated hardware nearly two years old falls by the wayside. We take an old iPad, an Arduino Mega, and various other materials to create an in-dash climate control app.
A successful solar power project requires data analysis and the ability to modify the system to take advantage of prevailing weather conditions.
Make a custom handheld wireless remote control with littleBits Wireless Transmitter and Receiver bits and slider, knob, button, or toggle bits. The open hardware movement continues to add, improve, and reinvent itself.
Faster, smaller, and smarter devices appear almost daily, inspiring makers as they address ever more diverse real-world problems. It's Alive! Paul C. Anatomy of Robosapien The Robosapien has one motor in each shoulder, one in each elbow that twists the lower arm and makes the claws open and close , one at the waist, and one in each leg Figure 1.
Figure 1: The Robosapien v1 has seven motors to control its limbs. The various bodyparts taken off. A word of caution, the forearms are actually glued together and some force may be required to seperate the two halfs.
I noticed that two locating pins were snapped off while I tried to open it. Better photo of the underside of robosapien's control board. Points to note are the solder pads designed to give us hackers easy access. Took a while for me to get a decent picture, as I haven't set up the tripod and don't know the focal distance at which the macro setting on my camera is.
We can see along the left of the photo the points for right arm and leg. At the top left we see the right shoulder and along the top centre we see the head connection with the LEDs for the eyes and the IR receiver. The "left" half of the control board underside this connects to the left arm, leg and to the batteries.
This is robosapien's left forearm opened although thats his right hand, as I have swapped them. Another view of his forearm. In order to remove the hand: first loosen you do not need to remove it the screw shown.
Shuffle the plastic retaining piece the screw was holding down such that the metal rod can fall out. This frees the "actuator" the black plastic rectangular piece.
