DJ, Do you have any tutorials for using the GPS functions? I have a Bluetooth GPS that works fine on the PC. I can see the GPS data streaming in Hyperterminal. But ARC doesn't show any data. It says it's connected to COM 3, but no data.

Distance From Ez-B Board To Servos?

How far can my servos be from the EZ-B board? I'll have a couple within 1 foot and a couple that will be about 4 feet. Any problems with this? Will I need to boost the signal or make a long jumper with bigger wire for the ones that are farther away? I plan to have the servos powered from a different power supply then the board. Thanks, Dave

Servo Motor Questions

Hi all, I've just received my ez board and have been messing around with the controls (pretty damn cool). I've managed to get the servos to work but when the servo is in the 1 position I can hear the motor still trying to work. how do I stop this? Cheers. Oh, and I've so far busted 3 of the servos! I must be putting them under too much strain when...
