Hey I’m new to this whole robotics world and everything. So to save all the 'blah blah"… Im basically in need of assistance of course. Ok so i’m planning on buying this robot kit —> robotshop.com/robophilo-humanoid-robot-kit-9.html … right and also I’ve been reading about sensors, servos, micro controllers and etc. and I want to equipped this robot with this camera accessory ----- > robotshop.com/sfe-cmos-camera-1300-1040.html … My question is about how can I go about equipping this robot (philo) with this accessory… Please Help.!!.. thank you in advance… If you need to send me any tutorial videos or info to help me out… You can gladly send me links at my email [email protected] <----- or just post em on here … once again THank you.
P.S. If there are any other accessory you might think that would be good to also equip let me know also… Including sensors of such
ohhh ok!! I see… so there’s no chance of me equipping one these robotshop.com/maxbotix-ez0-ultrasonic-ranger-1.html <-----
thank you soo much… so you mentioned few basic sensors… Like what would be one of those basic sensor… that can be equipped.?? Even if it’s at one sensor? … and thanks for the information… really appreciate it.
Not really. On top of that, there is very little information as to how to actually use a sensor with the board. The RoboPhilo is really intended to be a low cost platform to allow people to make a small, moderately interactive humanoid.
The main board has 24 I/O, of which 20 are used up by servos, leaving four digital pins (push button, limit switch etc) - nothing that can really give a range.
The RoboPhilo has a basic servo controller onboard - there is no room for additional electronics except a few basic sensors. Unfortunately with the current interface, you cannot add a camera. Secondly, the CMOS camera you selected would need to be surface mounted to a PCB - it’s not a complete unit. If you want to add a camera, you’d be best to add a separate system (its own power supply too if possible). If you are looking for a humanoid robot that is more expandable, you might consider the Kondo with the RoBoard single board computer add on. The basic Robophilo is intended to be programmed or remotely controlled, but not upgraded.
