Anyone have an issue with the rubber tires on their omnibot falling apart? What did you/can you do to fix or replace the rubber?

Robosapien H Bridge Motor Controller

This message is for DJ or anyone else who may have an answer. I am combining my robosapien with a RAD base for movement. In setting up the robosapien it seems I must use the D1 port to connect to the Robosapien via the movement panel for robosapien. I assume that is how I must communicate with the robosapien control module as no other option is...

Sound Servo

Once the EZ-B connects via Bluetooth the sound servo control stops. So the servo doesn't respond to any sounds

Modified Servo Movement Panel Question

*** Update *** Problem solved: Swapped servo ports in configuration. Hello all, I have just finished wiring up my bot with Parallax 12v DC motors and HB-25 H-Bridges. I have been able to guess and get the Forward, Reverse, Left, Right and Stop to work, however the left and right turns are reversed? My Settings: D0 Forward 70 Reverse 35 Stop 2 (Use...

Servo Spline Type?

Hello, Hopping to find a quick answer. What "style" of spline are the EZ-Robot servos (Standard and HD)? Futaba? Hitec? I need to order some adapters for my super easy Omnibot arms setup. Any help would be great. I'm stuck at work, so I can't go look at the actual servos to search them out.

Schematic For Ez-B Digital I/O?

Hello, Is there a schematic or data sheet for the Digital I/O drivers? It would be useful. Also any suggestions as to what might be blowing them out?

I just think it would be a neat idea Another thing dude I know what its like when you get hooked on to a cool project but SLEEP is a good thing

Sound To The Robot Ideas?

Hello, We have some cool sounds that we play on the laptop from the SoundBoard. We bought a BlueTooth sound card with speakers for the bot. Any ideas as to how to send the sound over BlueTooth to the bot? Thanks again,

Rc Car Into A Robot

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has ever used the Bluetooth robot controller to turn an RC car into a robot. I can think of a few possible issues off the top of my head: 1. Range - RC cars move fast, how can I get a few hundred feet of range? 2. Power - I'd want to use the power source from my ESC (a SC700-BL) to power the controller rather than...

Sabertooth 2X25 & Syren10.

Hey All, Kicking into high gear to get my R2 ready for the Calgary Comic Expo. I did try searching for an answer but didn't find any firm topics on running both motor controllers at the same time. I have had the Sabertooth running with the EZ-B via serial. The 2x25 is for my drive motors and the Syren10 is for my dome drive motor. I know the...
