beginers
Hi all!![yeah.gif](http://forums.parallax.com/images/smilies/yeah.gif)
Recently i bought a Robo Sapien for my daughter.
(actually iam the one who like it very much)
I was thinking how nice if icould build one cause i have interest in robotic
since i was schoolng.![freaked.gif](http://forums.parallax.com/images/smilies/freaked.gif)
I want to build a bipedal robot like the robo sapien.
after going trough this forum i found that u all are very helpfull and ambitous.
I think this is the right place for me to begin.
I have read about BS2 and know a bit about it trough this forum. I am zero
in programming.I want to start with BS2 cause of the Pbasic language is easy to understand.
plus the PSC i think it would make my project easier.(from what i've read)
I need ur support in my project to make my childhood dream come true.
·I need ur opinion and sugestion.
Thank you.![turn.gif](http://forums.parallax.com/images/smilies/turn.gif)

Thank you to willthiswork89 and Mike Green for the advise.

For your info the nearest dealer/distributor for Parallax product is about 400 KM
from my place. The price for the Toddler Robot about U$400 but i can get the BOE Bot kit
at U$180(good bargain).I think i will start with the BOE BOT cause my financial won't
permit at this moment.·at the same time try to sharpening my skill in programming.
I already decide to put a budget about U$100 per mont for this project.
I already download some document about the BOE BOT and Pbasic Maual.
If i decide to start with the BOE BOT can i use the PSC later to my project?
And just want to ask you a question.
WHat's the different between DC Motor and a Servo?
Dont Laught at me!!!
Servos are more controllable. You can make them turn an exact amount in either direction and then stop almost instantly. Normal servos cannot rotate constantly though, only back and forth, but there are modified ones that can rotate continuously.

I also have a Cybot from Real Robot Magzine(www.realrobots.com). like Boe Bot but only can be program with
its inhouse GUI software.(not really challenging)
When i look at the motor its only have two wire. As i know (if i'm not mistaken)·servor has tree wire.
Is it a dc motor?
How do i recognise is it a servor or a dc motor?
(alredy begin to learn)
Most R/C servos look approcimately like that in the following link and have 3 wires:

An R/C servo is a specialized DC motor. DC motors, in general, come in all sortsof shapes and sizes, but usually only have two wires.

Just to add another thought to the installation of a PSC on a BOE-Bot, if you had a compelling reason to do so. Nothing prevents you from adding a second or upper deck to the existing BOE-Bot, so long as it wasn't carrying battry packs or anything heavy.

Just want to ask you few more question about DC motir.
Can it be use in robotic project?
If can what is the pros and con of usig it?
Please explain in detail if posible.
Thank you.
After a while you're gonna see that you can add almost anything to your robot project , it just depends on cost and purpose.
Take the boe bot , play with it . I always say for my friend that this is an unlimited toy ! everyday you can improve an develop new things and tasks for if . you will love it !.

I alredy take a look at the circuit diagaram. It seem like theres two input for the motor go forward
and backward. Since DC motor got only two wire i asume that it use to drive the motor forward and backward.
then how to connect to the ground?
DO NOT EVER ENERGIZE (FROM POWER SUPLY) THIS BOARD IN REVERSE POLARITY IT CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE POWER TRANSISTOR ( THEY BURN INSTANTLY )
So , you have 5 inputs an 2 outputs .... 3 inputs from the BS2 been one Ground, and Two for Drive the motor - 2 inputs from external power suply that shoud be connectet to an external battery in the wright polarity.. and finally 2 outputs that shoud be connected to the DC motor.
Keep talking and trying .
