Filereadline Question

Recently I have been working with a text file from which I read a series of comma delimited lines. Each item represents a series of numbers, like this: 27,28,29,31,32,34,35,37,38, The problem is that the FileReadLine function strips out the commas and reads the line as one huge number. It even adds exponent notation such as +E25 to the end, so I...

Question: Ez-B V4 Controller Cannot Stay Connected To Wifi

I purchased an Ez-b v4 controller about a month ago to mod an Omnibot 5402 I bought from Ebay. Everything went completely smoothly, with the controller connecting to wifi with no problem and maintaining a stable connection. The robot operated under daily use for the next couple of weeks without a hitch. Now about a week ago, the controller suddenly...

Mp3 Trigger Mobile Control

Hi Folks, Its that time of year to get the G-Bot ready for Halloween! Always exciting. I must say I was a little disappointed to see the MP3 Trigger control is not supported on the mobile interface. It would be so much easier to control the robot from my phone 100%. Anyone know if there are plans to implement this anytime soon? Thanks, Gwen

Take a look here this has independent...
