Servo Position

Good Morning, I think I have noticed or at least I seem to think I have, but when I ask a servo to move to a predefined location, it does it at least 50 percent of the time. I have to disconnect and remove power on my V4 board to get my project to do what I want it to do. Thoughts?

Receiving And Using Uart Data In Script

I've been trying to receive data through the Uart port in EZB V4 and use it in a script.

Is There A Global Command For Repeating A Script That Was Just Executed?

Nice Introduction To Home Networking

As the first EZ-B4's shipped, there have been a lot of conversations about connecting to home networks and a good number of just general network questions. I came across a nice article today that gives a basic introduction to home networking that I think is a good start. It doesn't cover three of the critical items that will come up with EZ-B v4...
