Roboquad Part 4
Here are a few pics of my mouth hack for roboquad.  The main CPU  Two wires soldered to the spkr plug.  CPU showing PC1 where the TRY_ME connection is.  Another shot slightly darker of PC1 TRY_ME connection.  Roboquads neck area where two pairs of wires have to be threaded through, quite tricky as there is not much room.  Parts of the lower neck base which have to be removed in order to thread wires through.  Area showing head servo motor, Again wires have to be threaded past the motor.  Two pairs of wires threaded through [tricky job]  Face area where a 5mm hole has been bored for 8,500mcd blue mouth LED.  Check out the two small holes drilled in plastic for LED legs.  LED leads through the holes in plastic.  LED mouth in place.  The two pairs of wires [mouth LED] [TRY_ME connection] terminated via a plug for easy access.  Head back together with LED and wires ready to be soldered.  [center] Almost back together, will finish of tomorrow and post pics of finished mods.  Finished Roboquad LED hacks.

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... |
