Ezb And Leds

I wish to control LEDs by EZB . I saw in a tutorial leds connected directly to digital outputs without current limiting resistors. The leds I'd use sink 70 mA at 3,3 V .

Hbridge

I have a Roli HBridge that has stopped working Forward on the Right Tread only. I have checked all wiring on EZB4 and the Hbridge.

Bing Speech Recognition Control Moves To Desktop 2 And Cant Be Moved

I believe it happened with the last update but not sure.

My Ez-B Isn't Powering Up

I've got the developer kit, this is my first time trying to build a proper robot. After putting in the batteries to the holder and connecting it to the power shell (the ez-b was already in the shell) it is supposed to just start up, but it hasn't done anything so far. No sound, lights, anything. I've tested the rechargeable batteries (they're new...
