Script Manager Good But One Extra Feature Could Make It Fantastic

Hi DJ, I've been using your script Manager today which is great, especially the way you can move their position up and down the manager. Now what would make this tool totally awesome would be if you could link the scripts together or detach them. The reason for this and why it would be so good is that you could then try different script...

Can The Code In Arduino Be Used In Ezb

Connecting To The 'Other' Stuff

Before the age of enlightenment, my discovering EZ-Bot and all the wonder that it holds, I invested my hard earned savings in Arduino... here after mentioned only as the "A" word. Anyway those days of tedious slaving over the "A's" are almost gone and they gather dust looking small and unintelligent in the corner. But the...

Sharp Ir Sensor

Got a question. After getting my Ultrasonic module setup to handle front-end obstacles ok on my 4WD, I thought I would use an extra Sharp IR sensor I had laying around on the back end of my 4WD. Wouldn't want to back my rear into a buzz-saw... The Sharp sensor works as it should on the 3 ADC panels just fine. It also works ok on the Sharp IR...

No Power

Hi Ive got an EZb but when I plug it into the battery power it will not come on (No lights ) It was working for a week when i used it to power two servos and learn the software. Then I changed the batteries it worked for 10 min then stopped. I have checked that the battery pack powers other things, but it wont power the ezb. is there a fuse ? ..or...

Rc Tank Conversion

Well, I've finally got the RC tank stripped down to start turning it into a bot. The drive-train of this thing is actually fairly sophisticated. It has separate springs (shocks) for each road wheel! I've stripped out the old RC control board for re-purposing, and there is a huge open space in the hull for the new electronics suite. So far I've...

Suggestion For ARC

DJ, For my latest large robot project I am using a sound card similar to the MP3 but it plays .wav files instead .mp3 files. Rather than ask for a control for this specific hardware, would you consider creating a generic version of the MP3 Trigger control? This universal matrix control would use the same 10x10 array of buttons as the MP3 trigger,...
