Additional ARC Requests

Hi. I have a couple of ideas for the EZ-Robot team to consider that I think would be a nice addition to ARC. 1. When adjusting the volume slider from 100 on an EZ-B soundboard, say to about 60 for example, when a project is saved, closed, and reopened the volume goes back to the default 100. Would it be possable to add the ability to save the the...

Autoposition - Dc Motors & Servos

I have to admit I have not tried the AutoPosition control. It's still a bit of a mystery to me but I plan on diving into it in a few days. I've been focused on building a 7 pound arm with 4 joints for my B9 Lost in Space robot. I've now got it working smoothly; twisting and turning and lifting the weight. The first "elbow joint" lifts all...

Defective Servo?

Hi, I have Six and it was working perfectly until just recently. One of the servos doesn't seem to be getting a signal or isn't responding. It was on port D1 so I swapped it for the servo on port D4. No luck. I opened it up to see if there was an obvious issue. All of the wires are soldered to the board. Any suggestions?
