The motoruino is so easy to setup, just plug the motors, sensors, upload code and your bot is ready to go.
I added a big capacitor (4700uF) on the PCB power connections as I had the Motoruino resetting randomly when a motor started (OddBot explains everything here)
This is a quick test drive with the demannu (unnamed [...]
Also tagged Arduino, demannu, guibot, Motors, motoruino, SensorsI’ve found this two rc vehicles on a junk, they are in a very bad condition. The big one has the DC motor burned out, I will try to replace it.. brushless motor maybe.
They both have two different gear mode (hi and low speed), I am wishing to try it out.
This is the dead motor..
The [...]
It’s been quite a while without building robots… errr.. creatures..
anyhow I’m releasing this new creature, wich is still a work in progress.. and since I can’t think on a name for it, I will call it demannU, witch is “unnamed” backwards… sounds like ‘demon’, and for the sake of insanity, it looks like a little [...]
May I introduce you to the new family members: Farrusco v2.5, and Farrusco Junior.
Farrusco v2 is the new generation of my first robot Farrusco.
The F2 was created with Filipe Valpereiro from InMotion.pt, and this was the robot used for the last robotics workshops season.
The F2.5 version has a cleaner design, we are using two modified [...]

SSS (servo suspension system) is designed to support standard servo motors and act as a basic suspension. It is still a work in progress and has not been tested yet.
Will update results as soon as possible (still waiting [...]
This is the final result of the first stage of this project. An installation where zezinho calls for visitors and when a visitor reachs the mixing controllers he waits for new poses.
If you are nearby Lisbon, you can visit zezinho until 9 of July at:
FABRICA FEATURES Lisboa. Rua Garrett, nº83 | Megastore United Colors of [...]
OddBot is going to China, and he created several packs with robotics stuff and came up with a great creative challenge wich is to create a video with the keyword FUN. One of the extra points was to build something with paper, wood, and cheap materials, no techy thing here, the main purpose was to [...]

All the microservo supports where made with the amazing material Polymorph.
For now he is being controlled by 8 analog inputs, each input controls one microservo. In the future (as I hope) he will be controlled by a computer vision system where he will try [...]
