Servos Not Yet Replaced

Hi I don't know if this is normal or if I am being impatient but I still have not recieved my new standard servos to replace the malfuctioning ones. I requested them to be replaced and they said that they are able to be replaced. I still haven't got mine. More info please.

Ez-B Low-Level Documentation (Rxd/Txd Protocol) Available ?

As far as i understand the EZ-B system correctly, the bluetooth adapter is acting as a bluetooth->RS-232 bridge, right ? I am currently thinking of replacing the bluetooth interface with a different interface and programming my own control software. Therefore i am very interested in getting the low-level RS-232 protocol to get a direct HW access...

Suggestion For Next Ez-B Version (Power)

As a newbie I am digging through the available documentation and I have seen, that you are using linear regulators on your current EZ-B design to step down the battery voltage of ~7.5V to 5V. This is very energy inefficient for higher currents (e.g. 3A), because you are throwing away (7.5-5)*3A = 7.5W... As a result you need large heatsinks for...

Integrate Ez-B Dlls Into C++/Qt Application ?

Hi, I would like to use Qt, which is C++ based, to write an application for controlling our little robot. Does anyone have any experience, how to integrate the EZ-B .NET DLLs into Qt ?

Ping Sensor Pegged At 255

I wired up the ping sensor, double and triple checked my wiring, however, under ping or radar, I get a pegged signal @ 255. Any ideas?
