Robot Building Questions

Galapagos Bot

The strafe buttons do not work on the Galapagos bot ARC app for the iPhone. Also is there a way to add a battery level indicator into the control panel, to be able to see a visual battery level?

4Wd Omni Wheel Drive

Question for you guys. I know we are limited to one motion panel ( h bridge or continue rot servo) per ARC, but was wondering if you could get motion from connecting opposite motors on a set up like this so, you have essentially two drive directions and then diagonal motion activating both forward and reverse. Take a look here this has independent...

Sound Servo

I'd like to experiment servos simulating the robot mouth moving while EZB is speaking recorded messages. There is " talk servo", but this control seems to be only for speech synthesis. There's " sound servo", but this doesn't seem to be for recorded messages. How can I get servo movement from the pre-recorded messages that are...

First Impressions Of My Purchase

Hello everyone, I'm a new customer of EZRobot and order my robot kit last Friday. I was told it would be here today. Needless to say it did not arrive today due to whatever reason, DHL just didn't make the delivery. This was going to be a very nice birthday present, but now its not. Some areas for improvement: 1) Faster responses on orders /...

Changing The Battery Warning Voice?

I am building a BB8 and everything is going fine, however I was wondering if there was a way to change the "battery is low" warning. Having BB8 suddenly speak really ruins the whole effect. I was wondering if there was a way to change the warning to something else that would fit more with the BB8 character?.

Wire Size Recommendation

Is there an optimal wire size recommendation for powering the Ez-b? I rewired my robot last week and took it to Long Beach Comic Con over the weekend. when rewiring it I used 18 gauge wire for the power lines. I experienced a lot of dropped wifi connections during the weekend and was not sure if this was a result of browning out the board. -all...

Botz - Jd Green Camera Led? Whaaaaaaaa?

Dr. Howard Marner would like to know, "Well, why wasn't I notified?" that there is now a green LED around the camera for JD?

Rapu Serial Communication, Anybody Cracked It?

Hi Folks Unfortunately Brookshire's documentation on the RAPU is lacking many details. The short section on controlling with serial is fine, if you are connected to a COM serial port with an ancient DB9 straight-through cable (or USB-to-RS232 converter). Pull up RealTerm or similar, set the 19200 baud rate, and power up the RAPU. Console shows the...

Where Is The Getting Started With ARC Mobile App Info?

I don't want to build a custom app, just want to use a prebuilt one. I figured out how to do this and to connect and run my JD from my iPad but couldn't find instructions. For example, when I launch the ARC mobile app on my iPad I need to be sure to have an internet connection so that I can download & install the public app. then needed to...
