Hungry Robot - eat everything!

I really love to make use-for-nothing robots such as Drinky (Drinking buddy robot). I want to make a robot for emotional purpose not for functional. This is fun, makes smile and feels good.

This robot is also one of useless robot but, I'd like to make a funny robot! There are many coin-eating robots (Robie). I'm going to make it by using 3d printer and an Arduino.

All source code and 3d printing modeling files are opensource. Feel free to make it by yourselves.

Circuit Part

In this circuit, all parts are connected with Female - Female Dupont Cable. In order to save space in the robot, we need to cut and re-wire manually.

A servo motor uses 3 pins. Vcc and GND is essential. A PWM pin must be allocated with the servo motor. In this project, pin 12 is used.

The sensor is an infrared sensor. The sensor uses 3 wires as well. In order to read distance from an object, the arduino neeeds to read an analog input. In this project, A7 pin is allocated.

Servo : PIN 12
Sensor : Analog 7

Prepare F-F cable and the Sensor

In this circuit, all parts are connected with female-female Dupont cable.

Cut the wire

in order to save space in the robot we need to cut and rewire manually. This sensor is an infrared sensor The sensor uses three wires. in order to read distance from an object, the Arduino needs to read analog signal from this sensor. we are going to use pin A7 for obtaining the sensor value

Strip the cable end by using a stripper

Twist wires and finish with the tape

wiring the servo motor

A servo motor uses three pins. VCC ground and PWM.

A pwm pin from the Arduino must be allocated with the servo motor. In this project we are going to use pin 13.

Hardware Parts

Let's assemble hardware part.

Making arms

The black one is a horn from servo motor. We need to use the screwdriver and screw bolt.

put the small part behind of the motor

Put the motor inside of the body

and fix the motor with the body.

put the sensor into the body and make sure the direction

assemble the basket part

Put the part in front of the body

Use the cable tie from inside to outside.

put the cable tie through the hole.

use one more cable tie.

cut the rest of cable tie. it's very simple you don't need to use bolt anymore.

The head part

I'm gonna assemble the head part in the same way. Put the cable tie through the hole and use one more cable tie. Check the head moves well. Cut the rest of them
