Battery / Charging Tactics In Classes And Clubs

Hello all.  I am reaching out for tips and solutions regarding battery life of EZ robots in classroom situations.  When it comes to double class periods or club events, most robots have issues with battery endurance.  As robots like JD and Roli have their lipos' locked up inside their chassis, a quick battery swap is not possible.  What does a...

Arduino Mega, Autoposition: Servo Release Or Closing Arc Forces Servo Into 0 Deg

Hello everyone, Arduino mega, 2 servos controlled by the auto positioner: Close the arc app or pressing "release all servos" makes all my servos try to reach 0 degree in max speed. As i have neutral position 90deg +-40 deg its a big issue for my mechanics and the robot looks like hes having a overdose - which he actually has - lol For now...

No Servospeed With SSC32

I discovered something tonight, while using the "servospeed" in a script.  I have a servo sonnected to D0. Got the servo to move fast or slow using servospeed just fine per the instructions. Then, with a SSC32 controller, and the same servo now connected to V0, the servo moves at one speed only, The servospeed command has no effect either...

Controlling Servo Speed And Fluidity With Joystick Control

I recently posted a question about getting my PS3 to work with ARC. I now have a driver that allows it to be recognized and connect. The issue I am having is with the speed of the servos and the robot jitters. It just isn't a smooth movement. I am using a dynamixal robot arm (AX12) and an OpenCM controller. Is there a way to control the speed or...

Exosphere (Machine Learning)

Good Morning, coffee time :-) I don't know where to put this question,  Just thinking, what is the latest activities with Exosphere? I have not seen any threads or heard anyone talking about it. I am still interested and would like to know what are the latest new activities. Any new links to explore? thanks, EzAng

ARC On Startup, Workspace Not Setting Up Right

More of an observation than a question maybe? but  can we get rid of the "Tip&Tricks" window that pops up everytime I open up ARC? I cant seem to turn it off even when Ive selected that little box on the bottom.  when I open the same project over and over, it still pops up. Also, when I open up the same project Ive been working on, it...

The Receptionist

Hi Guys, iam planing to put my ongoing build (inmoov) into the hallway of our office (with the idea in mind to motiviate my supervisors and maybe build up our own robotics department - someday) Therefore I would like to code a little more sophisticated script. As Iam a total newbie to Synthiam i could need some ideas on how to start, especially if...

Can Someone Spot The Error In My Code?

Can someone tell me why I am getting this error? I must be going code blind or I found a bug. ARC version 2020.05.18.00 Error on line 4: Missing ) in Expression $HumanSaid = "birds can fly" $Sentence = $HumanSaid $xCount = 0 repeatwhile(contains($Sentence, " ")) $xStrLength = Length($Sentence) $xIndex1 = IndexOf($Sentence,...

EZ Script: Servospeed (Servoport, Speed) Without Any Effect

Hi Guys, coming from My Robotlab iam very happy with the way this software works, awesome. To start Iam trying to move a few servos with EZ-Robot script and a Arduino Mega. Connecting worked suprisingly well and i can move the servo to any position, however i cant change the speed. I used pin2 (PWM) and regular digital pin22 both show no interest...
