Help With Voice Recognition

See attached screen shot. Don't know what I am doing wrong. Do I need to fill in the script for any command, enable cmd, or disable cmd? I can't get it to recognize anything. Is there a training required or does something need to enabled in windows 7? I can see that the microphone is configured and detecting sounds of the my voice. Lost.

Lesson Learned About Gripper

If I would not have been so impatient when I built the arm, I would not have had to do it over. I hot melt glued the arm together instead of silicone. And sometimes servos get hot. It melted the glue and Bang!! The whole gripper came apart. Not only that when I touched the servo, the hot melt glue that was melted got on my hand and burn a water...

EZ-B And Wifi

Hi, I would like to build a robot with a camera which should observe my house and my garden. It should use my existing wlan for connectivity, so I can control it remotely from each place in the world. Would it be possible to use the EZ-B with wifi instead of Bluetooth? Thanks

How Do I Use Sharp IR Distance Sensor?

OK, I have some standard sharp sensors on the robot both Horz and Vert. I have no servos on them. When I do a scan with the radar, it scans, but it doesn't show the red dots. But, when I hook a Meter or Graph, it sees when I put something in front. But, no red dots. That is weird. The Ping units show the red dots also. Sorry if I did not word this...

Aa Battery Packs Don't Cut For Powering Screwdriver Motors

"It's a long way to the top if you want your robot to roll" - This substitute for the famous rock saying is what came to mind after I discovered a AA battery pack is fine for the EZ-B board but just doesn't cut it for running 2 electric screwdriver motors through a H-bridge. Initially I thought having a seperate battery pack of 4x AA's...

Hexy: Hexapoda Kick Starter

I may end up backing it for the $80 and get the frame so I can use my own servos and the EZ-B as its a much more powerful platform. How sweet would that be?! Camera is a must have! Just thought I'd share Hexy the Hexapod kit
