03 Lost in Space - B9 Robot - Part 03 of many In this video I will be previewing what I'm sure is the final design for the function indicator blink function. I'm also showing a method that looks like it will work for packaging the chest lights on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that I designed using Easy EDA and then sent out to be fabricated. I also have the preliminary sound circuit working, but is far from finished.

02 Lost in Space - B9 Robot - Part 02 of many In this video I will be showing my first attempts at some of the electronics I've been experimenting with for animating the B9. Experiment: 1. Continuous rotation servo possibly for the head crown and torso 2. Random blinking of chest and belly lights Rev 1.0 & Rev 3.0 3. Voice level blinking for the mouth If you are interested in parts list, schematic and an explanation of the code and/or to download the code to experiment with, go to my website: https://www.skipsmessyworkbench.com/b9_electronics.html Wish me luck.

01 Lost in Space - B9 Robot - Part 01 of many I plan to not only build this robot, but also animate as much of it as possible. This project will be a stretch for me, but I'm up to the challenge. Some things I plan to animate are: * All the lights * Torso rotation * Voice files that will make the mouth blink to the sound * Power pack insertion will start the animation * Claws open and close * Radio control of animation * Moving feet tread * Possibly make the head go up-and-down Wish me luck. It may take me the rest of my life to finish it, but wow... what a learning experience!
