Magnetic Rotary Encoder

Found this. It may be of interest to some. Thought I would post it. May can use it with the EZ-B. Quote from web site: "It uses an AS5040 magnetic rotary encoder to measure the absolute position of the rotor of whatever motor you're using. This is actually pretty exciting.

The last update version for EZ-SDK is 2013.01.29.00 vs ARC which is 2014.01.15.00. Hopefully at the time of receiving the EZ-B v4 I take it the EZ-SDK will be...

Exiting A Classic Control Loop In A Script Via Voice Command?

Below is a simple code I hacked up to use with the voice recognition control... It works as expected... I am controlling the robot via voice mostly, but sometimes i want it to roam autonomously (as per my simple code below). However, problem is I can't figure out how to exit the script at will... Once this script starts it only stops when the ping...

Adding a D10 or V10, the entry is placed in the Port summary list after D1 or V1 as in D0 D1 D10 D11 D2 .....etc same for V entries These entries should/could be listed in order ie D10 following D9 etc I could very well live with this as I know your time is well used for "bigger issues". Perhaps...
