I have a RC rock crawler that I would like to automate and turn into a Robot . If I but the EZ-B v4 Developer Kit will I be able to replace my receiver on my car with the Ezb-v4 unit and hook up my steering and ESC servos to run and stear the car through the programming to the . The car has 7.2 v Battery system on board which come through the ESC.
Please let me know if this is possible or if someone out ther is already doing this that I could talk to .

Then in ARC, you could make a custom movement panel. In forward and reverse, add a servo position which centres the steering servo, and a servo value to drive the ESC in the right direction. For left and right, the same thing for the Esc but change the value for the turning servo to turn the crawler accordingly.
EDIT:
And the ez-b isn't powered like an rc receiver through the 3 pin servo connector(I think it can but I don't recommend it). You will have to get power from the UBEC to the power connection on the ez-b or the ez-b power base. That may mean slicing the cables to connect them. If you bought the jumper cable kit. You would get the cables needed to plug into the UBEC that you could then slice for the ez-b.
Do you think I would be able to program the car with the sensors so the car would automatically back up and turn right or left when encountering an object . It moves fairly slow since it is a rock crawler . I was thinking of starting with the developers kit and go from there . What do you think ?
You have two conversation threads on the same topic. I recommend you choose one thread and stick with it :). I will close this thread.
