Bad Servo?

So yesterday I got my AdventureBot in the mail and began setting it up with my daughter. Battery got a full charge and everything went together according to instructions. Fired it up and went to use the movement panel and it spun like a top. No big deal I figured, things are plugged in properly so one servo is just going faster and I need to...

Using Ez-Robot Hdd Servos Instead Of Hs-805Bb On My Inmoov

I'm experimenting with HDD Servos on my InMoov, using them in place of the HS-805BB to stop the buzzing under heavy load. I started with the Elbow servo and it seem to handle the weight etc, and no buzzing when holding up the arm, unlike when using the HS-805BB servos! Seems to work well. See quick video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bySzD2kxSSM...

Sony Move Controller And Ezb

Hi All, I was searching the forums looking to see if anyone has had success getting the EZB and Windows to work with the single handed Sony Move Controller for PS3. I'm currently using a move controller with an Arduino Mega for driving a sabertooth and I would really love to ditch the mega. Anyone have any info, links, or ideas? Thank you, Douglas
