Updates
UPDATE 09-05-05
I've added diagrams of robosapiens circuit board connections. Another page to my robosapien hack, detailing the software running on the two PIC micros.

UPDATE 23-02-05
I've attempted to make the website easier to use by spreading the articles over more pages. Originally there were three pages, one with the dissection and LED mod photos, one with all my hacking details and a third with a few links and the connections table. Hopefully this will make it easier to find certain articles without having to scroll through long pages. The actual content of the pages haven't changed much with this update.

UPDATE 30-12-04
Still very busy with little chance to update the website. I'll try and get some more up but can't make any promises as I'm studying for exams and in Feb I'll be away for 5 months on a university exchange.

UPDATE 21-09-04
I'm currently working on a PICmicro to provide a higher intelligence to Robosapien, this will read inputs etc. and control Robosapien through the IR-OUT connection on his controller board. I've added some photos to the robosapien hack page and will add a new page on this hack when I have time to document it.

UPDATE 01-07-04
Added connection Pin-out. This details what each of the solder pads on the underside of the control board is connected to. Also, an image showing the connections for the eyes is provided below the table.

UPDATE 30-06-04
Added photos of the control board underside to the photos page

UPDATED 28-06-04
I've added a page of photos, detailing whats underneath Robosapien's plastic exterior.
