The install guide is on http://cochranrobotics.com/EZ-Robot-Plugins with the exception of one thing. My plan is to update it today and test it with a virgin install on a computer. Please wait until I have a chance to do this so that I can check for bugs.

The only thing left to write up is how to setup the chatbot to run in IIS. IIS is a bit of a pain.

@Tony,

Thank you for the compliment. It will take some time to get anywhere close to what yours is, but I have some time. My robot parts will not show up for a few months so I am focusing on EZ-AI.

I think the next thing that I am going to work on is reading UPC codes to identify items with UPC codes. There are some international upc code databases and I am not sure if I will house these in the local database or if I will use one of the sites on the internet to do lookups. I plan on working on this over the weekend.

David, what a great idea reading UPC codes to identify items . It reminds me of a great toy bought out by a company in early 2000 (that I have also licensed to Radica) called Skanners. This game unit reads product barcodes to give you an interactive battle game. Monsters are obtained by scanning a products barcode, so a tin of baked beans could give you quite a fight! Here is a link

Thanks David.... I would like to incorporate this into my inMoov if possible....

I have 1 hour and 33 minutes of install footage to edit and get put into a usable format. I figure a video would be the best way to do this. There are a lot of dependencies that EZ-AI uses that are not packaged up in one neat install. Getting Program-o working is a pretty large portion of this install. If you are not going to use it for a chatbot, the install isn't too bad. If you are, it takes a pretty fair amount of configuration on your machine.

I will post the video here and on cochranrobotics.com.

The install video is building now. It involves installing all of the following components

EZ-Builder My sample project MSSQL server MySQL Program-o chatbot Python php IIS and configuring it to use php EZ-AI

It goes through the configuration of each program. There is a lot that makes EZ-AI work. I will put out a new zip with a couple of fixes tonight or tomorrow. I would wait until I tell you these fixes are in EZ-AI before attempting the install.

a new version is posted with the install bugs taken care of. The current version is 1.0.0.2.

Post 65 has the current install video.
