DVI computer monitor adaptor

2008-12-01T03:35:05+01:00

I found that connector you were looking for
Cindy, is this the thing you were looking for?
www.liangdianup.com/computeraccessories_1.htm
It's on the list of computer accessories and parts. They have the DVI video thing to convert that jap monitor to work with your other computer. Just about any other kind of wire adaptor, usb connectors, monitor extension wires, ps2 extention wires, and all kinds of female and male swap connectors and things that I think would help your shop. If that above link don't work then goto www.lducompany.com and click on computer accessories. Let me know if that is what you need and give me your email address again.

Yet another great day. It was great to meet up and talk robots and share ideas. Once again I have returned from the meet inspired with so, so many ideas for the next iteration of my Robots and Robot simulator.

Here is a quick video edit of some ofthe clips I took (appologies that it is mostly of the Matts Quad and my Hexapod). I will get more video of the other robots next time.

Looking forward to meeting the experts .

My Bioloid Humanoid has been scavenged for servos to make a Hexapod, I will bring it to birmingham along with my stock Robonova.

We're going to have the PS2 controlled quad and I'll put the humanoid in the box but it's got no more party tricks than before. The humanoid will stay put away unless people have specific questions.

The radio controlled quadruped is a bit of fun, though.

We had a few pre-Christmas robot buyers who were interested in seeing the humanoids.

We told them the best way to learn is to go to the Birmingham event and talk to the experts.

Your humanoid talking to Celebrities!!

2008-11-10T15:03:18+01:00

Here's an opportunity to get involved in an interesting robotics project involving your humanoid robot!

The producers of a the popular celebrity awards ceremony is looking for a humanoid robot to interact with celebrities backstage.

They want a humanoid with a camera and speaker. I suggested that the humanoid will be sitting inside a remote-controled car and move around the back-stage and once reaching the celebrity, it will get on its feet (maybe step off the car) and then do an interview.

This will take place in February but lots of preparations need to take place beforehand.

Having fun, hanging out with celebrities and getting paid for it

Anyone interested please drop me an email.

Medals ready.....

They are more than just static "Bling", since they are PIC 16F627 (PICAXE18) based boards that could be used for simple debugging or as a sensor inteface etc. (ie Tx/Rx over a few of the 4 spare inputs)

PS
i-Bot, sorry about the "Bling"
Sonic and Orac I haven't forgotten our projects....

I will be there again, should have found time to mend the Manoi's shoulder and perfect a stair-climbing move.
