The arrows in this photo show how the joints of EL BO rotate. The elbow ended up being so powerful I have had to use PWM to slow it down a bit on the downswing, or it overshoots considerably.
Things left to do:
-> Build & attach the light-sernsor array, and integrate the driver software.
-> Further debug the motion control software & hardware.
-> Create an IR filter for the infrared remote control sensor - it loses sensitivity in bright background light.
-> Bring the power supply on board.
And a bunch of tiny details like:
-> Tie up and fasten all those sloppy wires.
-> Add feet to the base.
-> Sand & polish all the plastic pieces.
-> And a million other little things...
Here is a picture of the robot sitting next to the remote control.
One last photo with a bottle included to give some sense of scale.
The bottle is, by the way, from my favorite kind of ginger ale - Stewart's - Mmmmm. Buy a bottle of refreshing Stewart's Ginger Ale today!
