About Me

Formerly MarkC of robosapien.tk forums. I firsted hacked my Robosapien V1 in late 2004 and haven't done any work on him since mid 2005. This Christmas I received a Robosapien V2 and a Roboquad. I've had the chest plate off RSV2 and taken a look inside his head. Hopefully I'll post some photos and document what I've seen in there on my website.

Previous mods to Robosapien V1:

  • PIC micro controller "brain" added.
  • Hands swapped (left for right)
  • Hand LEDs swapped out for violet ones
  • LCD installed in chest cavity along with dual PIC micros
  • "Alarm Clock" Robosapien is born.
  • Fried orginal Processor and was subsequently replaced.
  • Mapped circuit boards into circuit diagrams and parts lists.

What might I do with Roboquad?

  • PIC micro brain
  • LED swap
  • Install SP03 text-to-speech module
  • Map circuit boards (would be interesting to see how much of the original Robosapien goes into the latest models)
  • Open to suggestions...

What might I do with Robosapien V2:

  • PIC micro brain
  • LED swap / addition
  • Map circuit boards
  • Dissection tutorial
  • Any other ideas?

What Santa Brought

Okay, not Santa per se, but my Fiancee bought me a Roboquad and her parents bought me a RSV2, shown below with my RSV1. What did Santa buy you (robotics/electronics/Robosapien related please)? Robosapien introduces RSV2...
