Roboquad Part 3
 I have started my Roboquad eye hack, The first LEDS to go are the outer eye one's and to be replaced with these.  White 16000 mcd LEDS  Old LEDS removed.  New LEDS fitted, Just have to cut of the leads.  Removing the 4 annimation LEDS [RED]  Just have to cut the wires and replace with 8500mcd blue LEDS.  Next mod is to install a mouth, this is going to be tight as there is not much room to install these LED bargraph type LEDS. These are 8000mcd green and are going to be connected to the various eye LEDS matched as an equal pair so as the eye LEDS flash the mouth LEDS move from the center out. I will attack this one in the next few days, Pics up when finished. Finally got the LED hack done, I have used two yellow 8,000mcd leds for the sides two 8,000 blue for the front and rear and two white 16,000mcd leds for the two outer eyes. Everything works fine and no hicups.  Yellow annimation LEDS  Blue LEDS in the front and back of roboquad.  Yellow annimation LEDS on the side of roboquad, Just soldered in place.  This is showing the front annimation blue and white right eye LEDS.  [center] Another shot showing front annimation blue and white right eye LEDS. Mouth led hack to come next.

Re: Roboquad
Nice job! I have a RoboQuad also. I have been considering replacing the processor board with something I can program to do what I want. I'm not sure I can work in those tight places though.

Re: Roboquad
Nice job! Are those Solarbotics motors driving that puppy?
Dale, you can get in there. Looks like it was "made" for an arduino, but I don't know the specific measurements... |

Re: Roboquad
What's the measurements on the old board?
You could probably fit TWO Arduino Nano's in there, side-by-side, and still not be tight. 0.73" x 1.70" ea, with all the Decimilia functionality. That'd give you almost two dozen digital I/O, and 12 Analog In A/D channels, two serial, two USB, two I2C masters. It would even be trivial to drive a serial graphic LCD from it and still have another serial channel and the I2C left over. http://store.gravitech.us/arduino-nano1.html |

Re: Roboquad
Since JTAG is a debug methodology, the 'bot should be up on a stand and the legs/wheels/tracks/whatever free to do their thang. Once you close the cover, the JTAG should be quiet and out of the way.
I understand the mentality... |
