Newcomer To The Ez-Bot Site.

It's nice not to have to squint at captcha and guess at things and wait on registration confirmation emails, etc. 2. I found EZ-Robot.com through a suggestion made by someone on another forum and, although it is outside my price range and scope for my current...

I started with an standard RC controller and made sure it was all set up. Worked fine. Then I replaced the reciever with the EZB. It worked for about 10 seconds then stopped. I had used PWM slider, then I tried...

Another Question

OK, all this stuff is done in realtime. Now, let's say you have a long complicated project that you want to put on your robot. In order to run it, you just load and connect? Is it possible to save it to a file that would run automatically when you turn on the robot? Just curious? Maybe a BAT file could be made to run it in one click. What do you...
