Any Thoughts On Getting Arc To Run On Tonypi

Skip to comments Jump to end

Tonypi is an inexpensive robot, and it will run on raspberry pi.

From that I can tell that the audio and video would work.

I wouldn't think it would take much to get the servos connected.

As a heads up. I was able to get EZBpi.exe running on the raspberry pi. I was able to get the ARC communicating to the servos. Here is a link to where i posted. https://synthiam.com/Community/General/TonyPi-Working-Fun-robot-to-incorporate-with-Arc-21729

I am running into an issue where i am having trouble reading from the servos. That being said, i can send commands to the sevos, so I feel like i am 85% there. My next order of business would be to get the webcam communicating. I am thinking it should be possible. It might require tinkering with the Blueberry server to get the right video commands working. The last issue will be getting the head servo working. That servo communicates a different way.
