Hello From Lloyd

Hello to everyone. I got back home from the hospital yesterday. My wife told me about her posting and I went to see all. I thank everyone for the nice comments , well wishes and prayers. I have a long road ahead but the doctors say I have very good chances of a good recovery. the left side of my body has been affected. I have difficulty using my left hand now. My speech is a bit difficult, and I have some memory problems. I can not begin to relate how frustrating it is when you can't seem to think straight. Sometimes simple tasks become difficult. the doctors; my wife have encurged me to continue with interest in robots and think that it will be good thearpy for me.I can only type with my right hand now so takes longer. My robot projects will have to change for now. My whole reason for building robots was in case something happened concerening my health.So, I have to now think about building a robot arm and hand to help me with doing things. I would really appreciate help from EZRobot family to design and build a robot arm for me to use. What with medicall bills I am on a kindof tight budget so must try to keep costs down much as possible.Welcome all input I got a webcam I ordered but can't seem to recall how to install it. It is a wired USB cam. I am using windows 7. A litle help please. I hope everyonewill not mind if I ask what may seem simple questions. Again thanks for all the kind thoughts and words. It means a great deal to me. Lloyd

Thank you all for the flowers and the thought. I'm very lucky to have friends like you.

For the web cam, with Windows 7, you should be able to just plug it into a USB port and let Windows find the drivers. Then start up EZ-B and you should be able to see the camera in the drop down list.
