Microphone Connection Question

Hello. I am making a Wall-e similar to DJ Sures, the only problem is, the microphone is not working. Everytime I try talking to it, it says something about: [delay]. If I go to the speech recognition window in ARC, there is a button that says I can setup my microphone. It says that there is none on the EZB v4, so I had to connect to the one on my...

New V4 Camera Fuzzy Image Compared To The Old V4 Camera?

I just received 4 of the new V4 one piece cameras... To be honest the image is way fuzzy and dark compared to the old camera... I have adjusted the focus on all 4 of them but the image is no where near the quality of the old V4 camera.... Did I just get the prototype batch or is there something I am missing? I can't really complain much as I did...

I then reversed the wires and backward and forward commands worked correctly, but now...

Difference Between Ez-B And Arduino Video: Biggest Misconceptions

Alright guys, its time to make a video to tell newbies what the difference is between arduino and Ez-b. This can also talk about software. Biggest misconceptions/diffences: (I'll update this list as we go.) 1. Ez-b does not get programmed, everything is done in ARC 2. The ez-b is not a micro controller, it is a robot controller, sort of like a...

Ez Hud / Plug In Question For Dj Or/And James Graham Hu

DJ, So the EZ Hud display is moving along and I'm moving into the ARC control of the HUD and my brain is going in all different directions. I think I might need a little guidance here.

Maybe some kind of webserver inside of ARC. Then you or your friends...
