2008-10-07 Calgary Wall-e Robot Part 2/
I set out to turn a crappy toy into a smart autonomous robot... Of course I picked Wall-e 
This toy did play samples of Wall-e saying different phrases. I cut the original board and hooked it up to my PIC microcontroller so I can trigger the samples.
The sensor I used is the Sharp IR DIstance sensor with analog output.
The microchip is of course a Pic 18F4865 (my favourite) @ 20 mhz.
I used a soldering iron to melt the plastic, a dremel to cut the plastic... And for fasteners, I have a great collection of bolts/nuts/screws.
The programming derived from my K-9 robot, but dramatically modified for only X axis head movement, and the additional 2 arms. For programming and hardware information, please visit this link here.
Taking a toy that didn't even move and making it move, talk and wave it's arms arounds is very cool
Ingredients:
- 2 GWS Nano servos
- 2 modified parallex servos
- 1 GWS regular servo
- 1 GWS Pico servo
- 18F4685 microcontroller @ 20 mhz
- 2 Sharp IR Distance sensors
- My custom 40 pin PIC board
- 1000+ lines of C Code (CCS PCW)
- Lots of melting and dremeling plastic
- Took 7 Hours to build and program
