question

Joystick Control

Hi All. As far as I can tell, the joystick control is all-or-none movement. Is there a way to make it such that a small movement of the stick translates to a slow movement of the wheels (and a progressively larger deviation of the stick produces a faster wheel rotation)? I'm using a sabertooth H bridge, if that makes any difference. Also, is there...

Printing & Using The Pwm Value ? ?

Programming Ez-B

Hey DJ, is there any chance you can tell me what kind of input does the EZ-B bootloader take? Am I violating any terms of the EZB? If not is there any way in which you can help? I've always wanted to program the EZ-B with my own code, and yes I'm fully conscious that Im not going to be able to use EZ SDK, nor ARC, but is there any chance of me...

Very much like a recent film with Hugh Jackman. Mark is probably the best animatronics engineer in the world. SyFy is showing very quick clips of the show...
