Monday, 18 February 2013 Good Morning EZ-Robot Projecteers ! I purchase a New Alphie Talking Robot last week on Craig's List, and he fits perfectly in my iRobot Create's Empty Top Compartment. https://www.hasbro.com/shop/details.cfm?R=37C4291A-19B9-F369-10BF-EC1BA496D865:en_US...
question

Standard Servo Attachments Vs Modified Servo

Howdy, EzBers! So, is there any reason why the supplied servo attachments (horns etc) don't fit on the Modified servos?

As a result of this difference,...

Sabertooth In R/C Mode

Is there a way to use the control a Sabertooth in r/c mode rather than serial? I want to use it in conjunction with an r/c transmitter when the robot is not autonomous via the EZ-b (I'll use a multiplexer to do the switching). The problem I foresee is that I'll have to change dip switch settings each time I need to change from serial / EZ-b mode to...
