FT232RL To EZB UART Connection

Is it possible to connect an FT232RL USB-to-serial adapter to an EZB controller using the UART TX, RX, and GND pins, instead of connecting to the camera port with those same pins? I've attempted this setup without success. I assume there's a difference between the UART pins and the camera port pins. I'm utilizing the Connection Robot Skill in this...

Handling Script Errors In ARC

How can I handle errors in a script within ARC, especially errors like "Error in response received: The remote name could not be resolved: 'admin.synthiam.com'"? This issue occurs even though my robot's computer is connected to the internet. I am using the ChatGPT Robot Skill.

Arduino Loop Increment Issue Fix

@Athena, I am currently running the following code on an Arduino Mega to adjust a variable iteratively: cpp float psudoActCrs = 90.7550; float actualCourse = 92; while (true) { if (psudoActCrs actualCourse) { psudoActCrs -= 0.1; } Serial.print("psudoActCrs: "); Serial.println(psudoActCrs, 4); Serial.print("actualCourse: ");...

Roli Rover H-Bridge Button Issue

I chose the Roli Rover because my question is about the H-bridge in the Roli. I accidentally broke off the small button near the power connector. Is this still usable or repairable?

RTSP Stream Compatibility Issues

, I am attempting to use a Reolink E1 Pro camera with ARC's Camera Device Robot Skill using its RTSP stream. I'm connecting it through an IoTiny controller. - Camera IP (local): 192.168.178.10 - RTSP links (without password): - Main stream: rtsp://192.168.178.10:554/h264Preview_01_main - Sub stream: rtsp://192.168.178.10:554/h264Preview_01_sub Both...

Error With Soundboard File Name

I am using the PC Soundboard skill in ARC and attempting to add an MP3 file named alert.mp3 to the board. However, I'm encountering the following error message: System.Exception: The audio filename contains invalid characters. Rename the file and remove quotes, single quotes, slashes, and control characters. Filename alert.mp3 at...

Connection Diagnostic Skill Functionality

I have a question about the ARC Robot Skill called Connection Diagnostic. Does this skill monitor the connection of only the EZB at index 0, or can it manage other indices as well?

Monitoring EZ-B V4 Info Index

I have a question regarding the ARC Robot Skill called "EZ-B v4 Info." I assume that since I can't select a specific EZB index to monitor, only the EZB at index 0 is able to be monitored with this Robot Skill. Is that correct?

Improving IR Sensor Efficiency Javascript

Hi @Athena, I am working on repeatedly pulsing a Sharp IR sensor using JavaScript within my ARC project. Here's a snippet of my current script: javascript var increment = 3; var irValue = 50; var lowIR = ADC.get(2); sleep(10); // IR THRESHOLD FOR A HIT if (lowIR <= irValue) { missCount = 0; cycleCount++; kick = false; if (scanDir == 0) { negHit...
