K1K1 nervous system version 0.01

You'd have to know me to hear all the fantastical ideas I have about my own anthropomorphic android I want to build, and the fact that she will be an anthropomorphic animal android.

That much said, I'm going to describe the overly simple process, of taking the concepts of a Teddy Ruxpin and a TV remote, and stuffing them, in a very small footprint, into a stuffed bear, which is one of my prized possessions.

Kiki is a product of my vivid imagination.  She has a real life counterpart, a brown bear, large enough to wear  clothing well, and a very comfortable pillow.

The touch / grasp sensors used in all manner of children's Christmas toys, will be amputated and put into Kiki's soft plush body, with a bit of gentle sewing.

A small rounded case, or a rectangular case fitted with some foam around it, will house an Arduino board, dual USB 5volt power supplies which will provide 10volts to the 9volt input on the Arduino, maybe a tiny drop resistor in series, and the XBee serial USB-to-UART wireless transmitters to get the input data from Kiki to the host computer running her intelligence.

Quiet Time for 7R0N Blog over with

Took a siesta from my bl0g, but I'm back now, to talk more technical stuff.

The bipolar part of this blog is going to be less emphasized.  More tech stuff.
