Idea: It Would Be Nice To Have Ocr

Just a thought. It would be nice for us to be able to read text from the camera. I am sure that would be very hard, however. But, just a thought . . . . in case it is just a hop skip and a jump from Glyph reading. Also, the ADC ports have a meter for my temperature sensor. It shows up on the meter.

Speech Recognition Doesn't Appear To Pause When Robot Is Speaking

I was thrilled to see the new feature of "speech Recognition pausing when speaking" in a recent release, because I have quite a loud (amplified) voice on my robot and a lot of Mp3 sound triggers (over 150 in fact!) and it routinely "interupts itself" when speaking as something it is saying triggers a new Mp3 track to play - in...

Has Anyone Used Pir For Navigation? Do You Think That Is

Has anyone used PIR for Navigation? do you think that is even possible. It detects movement from about 30' away and turns on an on/off switch. Any ideas on that? Thanks, Mel (MovieMaker) Someone had made a while back a robot that supposedly followed the source of the movement with PIRs.

I plug it into the EZ-Board, for power only, and try to cycle through the sounds using the button but only get one track (or sound) and it is fuzzy? The files are in the MP3...
