IR Sensor Reading Optimization

Hello @Athena, I would appreciate your review of the following JavaScript code within the ARC environment. The script is designed to process infrared (IR) sensor readings, which can vary significantly due to sensor noise. My objective is to obtain a reliable result, finalLowIR, that only changes when the last three samples are consistent. The...

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...
