Can I Read The Signal From An RC Receiver?
I would like to read the signal incoming from an RC receiver. How do I do that? Use-case: I drive my robot with radio-control, animations are automatic and controlled by EZ-B. Still want to pass on radio signals to EZ-B to trigger certain animation scripts. How can I read the radio signal I get in the receiver. From a receiver I can steer a servo...

What Happened To Cochrane Robotics?
I was browsing skills and saw EZ-AI, developed by Cochrane Robotics. All links to the related sites are dead, and a Duck-Duck-Go search said the company was deactivated some years back. Any news on what happened to David?

I transferred all of my electronics to a new robot platform and now, none of the servos will move. The PCA9685 board has power, the servo rail on the PCA9685 has...

Coms Port Not Showing When Connecting EZB To Rock Pix
I am trying to connect an EZB to a Rock PiX. For some reason, a Coms port does not show up. When I connect the EZB to my laptop, I do get a Coms port and ARC can connect to it. Looking at Device Manager on the Rock PiX, there is an entry for Other Devices FT232R USB UART. What am I missing here?

EZB Leonardo Serial Ports
DJ, I reviewed your code for the EZ-Genuino_Leonardo.ino and I see you added dummy code for the other serial ports should that code be added to this service also to make it better for the EZB platform?
