Hi Djcaan from uk living in osaka japan can I ask is the ez-b v4 robot controller compatible with 2.4 ghz remote controls units I have a turnigy 9 channel transmitter and receiver if it is compatible I will by this ez-b v4 Any help is most welcomed and will be returned in kind if I can help anyone
Regards
That's a good question. I'm interested as what the answer to this question is.
Not at all. If you wish to use a 2.4ghz remote control, I would recommend using a R/C receiver if you wish to use a 2.4ghz remote control. EZ-Robot is made for robotics, not remote control - if you wish to manually control the robot, then you can use the Android or iOS device, as well as peripherals from your computer (WiiMote, Joysticks, etc.)
Wow....that seemed harsh! I can envision a lot of scenereos that would benefit from a long range controller over a shorter range wifi or bluetooth wii controller. To interrupt an autonomous script and take manual control. Such as a quadcopter or aquatic robot. Of course the bot would most likely have to have an itegrated pc. I have a project in mind that will also use an R/C controller but requires the power of EZ-B and since you did specify you have the matching receiver, yes the EZ-B can read the pwm from it. For the record anything can be interfaced with EZ-B and should be encouraged to be.
Harsh? I didn't get harsh from DJ's comment at all....
The op asked a yes or no question about whether or not a transmitter / reciever pair could be interfaced to the EZ-B. Just like lots of others ask about various sensors and actuators. Most people get responses explaining how to accomplish their goal, even if it is difficult. The OP was greeted with a "not at all" response and told maybe the should use a different product. While DJ was assuming the op's intent. And the actual short answer is yes the EZ-B can read pwm. Yes, I thought that was harsh. But don't confuse that with me trying to insult of flame DJ, he is a great man who really cares about his product and community. I just thought he missed the mark this time and the op got the wrong answer. The short answer for "can (insert anything here) be interfaced to EZ-B" is YES IT CAN!
I don't see it... That's all I'm saying...
hi, thats ok ,i dont hold grudges against him for this,my project as such is a robot dog and this ez-b v4 seemed like one of the best option i have seen so far i could use arduino but thought the ez-b v4 was better.
happy building people
Oh sorry, I sure didn't mean the response to be harsh
The EZ-B cannot read PWM, so the 2.4ghz receiver wont work to control the EZ-B.
Can I ask what the desired application is?
mr djsures you say the The EZ-B v4 cant read Pwm the picture of it on this site says it can, if it really cant read PWM i respectfully suggest you ask your staff to change the picture just in case you get unhappy customers requesting refunds for items being advertised under false pretence. im making a robot dog from a uk tv show called doctor who the robot is called k9 . i like most of the stuff on your site and im looking for to use some of it in this model robot he is not a small robot her pretty big 3 feet in length 2 feet high and 18 inches wide maybe more the ears neck tail and lights require robotic parts to work along with electric motors 2x12 volt batteries
any way thanks for your original response
regards DJ caan
Just a shot in the dark here. Could you be confusing reading PWM with controlling PWM?
