Finally got my EZB in the mail. Put together a quick video to show off the functionality of my project. Keep in mind this is the very very beginning. I will soon be adding a video camera to enable motion/facial tracking. I will keep updating as I make progress. This is the first "robot" I've ever built. The EZB and the ARC software really made this simple.

The complete set-up will amazing. I can't wait to see the finished product.
Working on "corpsing" the body for the skull this week. Hopefully will have that done within a week and I will post some pictures of the entire set up. I made some LED pen lights to add some color and mood to the scene too.
CJ were you able to use VSA with EZB ? If so how?
Thanks
No, unfortunately the EZB is not compatible with VSA. You may be able to write an interface using VSA's console (I think that's what they call it) but I haven't tried. DJ Sures is working on some animation menus for ARC that may have functionality similar to VSA's.
I used VSA with a pololu maestro servo controller. it's a great program but expensive. ARC is free so I can spend my money on more props!
Here is my full body test. The prop is 90% done. Looking good so far. Still need the automation part of ARC so I can finish the routine. (hint hint)
Okay okay!! I was working on it last week. The control is difficult but I have an idea.
For the short time, how about I build something simple specifically for you.
Yay cjmekeel, you got Hack-a-day'd!
Well deserved!
