Ezb-V4 Power

For a Roomba application, will the EZB V4 handle the unregulated power input in the same way the EZB V3 could? I saw one discussion where the EZB V4 smoked after trying this....... https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/UserTutorials/115/1

Can't Connect

I recently purchased the developers kit for my son. We made a simple roli type robot and tried to connect to the ez-b v4 for the first time tonight. I cannot get it to connect. As far as I can tell I need to change the connection mode, but when I click on the circular icon in ARC, it takes me to a page that asks for my username and password (unlike...

Continuous Rotation Servo

I installed a CR servo that came with my Dev kit. It works as it should in the ezb builder. I bought and upgraded HiTec Robot Servo model HSR-2645CR and when I try it it starts moving in one direction but then I cant control it. It wont stop or switch directions. I am using port D0 and have tried others and get the same problem. I have not tried an...

Stepper Motor For Hero Jr. Retrofit

Hello all, I am converting an old Heathkit Hero Jr. robot to somewhat newer technology. I was hoping to use the EZB V4 to control movement, however, the robot has a 12V DC Motor to spin the front wheel for movement and a 12V Stepper Motor for rotating that wheel assembly for steering. I can power them from my external source, and attach an H-Bridge...

Freedom Of Speech For My Robot? ;)

Hey guys, I have been trying to figure out how to build my robot and still haven't made up my mind completely...which might also be an ongoing thing, it seems like the more options I discover the more ideas I get on what I would like to build! My latest investigation goes to the idea of whether or not giving my robot the ability to speak...there...
