Missing Microphone Bug...

Hello, I spent the better part of the day trying to figure out why ARC and the projects in the EZ-B SDK would not recognize any of my video sources. I assumed it was being caused by the EZ-B.dll as other projects I've created are able to see the devices. Since I couldn't debug the EZ-B.dll (sure wish I could!) I Ultimately downloaded the...

Bluetooth Range

Hi DJSures, I have ordered EZB and eagerly waiting for it. I am planning on creating something like your Omnibot. Since you have been using it extensively could you please give me an idea of the range of Bluetooth communication? i.e. how far does the Omnibot goes before losing comm with the laptop. I am assuming Omnibot is an indoor bot where it...

Arduino Shield Kit

Here is a snapshot of the assembled Arduino Shield Kit that is shipped with EZ-B v3. I will create an assembly video shortly.

PC?

Hello, I am new to ez-b so I have a question. When I want to start up my robot and run the script's do i require a PC. or can I push the program/code to the EZ board and it can run standalone without a PC?

Sparkfun Dual Motor Driver

I now have a second one courtesy of Ebay always handy for spares I guess Any chance you could post the connections needed between the EZ-Board and the SparkFun Dual Motor Driver breakout board. Some of the online documentation on this board is none to clear Thanks

Converting C# To VB

is the VB implementation as "complete" as the C# implementation? For instance, the following is a line in C#: _ezb.ADC.GetADCValue(ADC.ADCEnum.ADC_0);. I can not find a VB equivalent, all I find for VB is: EZ_B.ADC.ADCPortEnum EZ_B.ADC.Equals and EZ_B.ADC.ReferenceEquals How do I get the ADC value? jms

Speaker Tone Bug

Hi I noticed when playing a speaker tone or random set of notes the ping servo I have going bak and forth stops until the tone finishes!

Sdk Scan Speed Of HC-SR04

Is there a way of adusting the speed of the scan of the HC-SR04 using the SDK or do you have to do your own timing ? I noticed in the ARC the interval changes the speed of the sweep, but i can't seem to find any interval in the SDK anywhere for interval, am I missing it somewhere ? Thanks Mike

Sound Guided Servo

Hi Guys, First off I just want to mention that I've never dealt with robotics before but I have this project that I think would be fun. As the subject describes, I'm trying to attach a webcam to a servo that will be guided by voice so that whenever someone in the room speaks it rotates to that direction. At work we are setting up a video conference...
