Hello, and first of all, scuse me for my bad english.
I have made two little robots for my little son. These were made on Arduino platform. I was very happy making these and my little son was very happy to use these!
Now, i want do some more, so i have bought Ez robot, but i have many question about and i hope someone in this forum can help me.
I have a very big and large '80 years robot........ It was mine when i was i child..... and now i want to give him a 'brain' so, mi little son, will have fun with him. It had no servos to move arms. I have provided to install servos in arms and in head.
But the first problem with Ez robot, is the number of digital i/o........ Ez-b only have 20 ports.
First thing: How can i add some more ports?
Second thing: I want to have a 'stand alone' robot. How can i do it? Do i need to 'embed' a pc into my robot? Has someone done this? What kind of battery do i need in order to power it?
Third thing: It seems difficult to have 'speech recognition' on some Windows version....... is it thru?
Thank you very much and scuse me for my bad english. I hope you can explain me how to build what i am trying to do.
Best regards!

EZ-Robots do not give your email address away to anyone. If you are receiving spam since registering it is a coincidence.
If you are talking about the update emails you can turn those off in settings however technically they are not spam
@odt ir beacon
http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/701
THATS one i am using and it fairly easy to interface to EZB it takes only 4 digital inputs
I am working on a design like that only using EZB instead of the built-in micro it has and have it at a lower cost too.
Ok, i want to say 'thanks' to all because you are trying to help me.
I repeat 'scuse for my bad english'..... i can understand only 75% you tell to me because my english is bad. And i can explain what i want to say in very difficult way...... but i am trying to do my best because i want to build a nice toy for my little son!
Today, i have bought a 'tablet pc' Windows based, so, i will mount it into the robot.
Soonly i will buy another Ez-b platform, so, as you suggest me, i will expand input/output.
I still don't understand what is "ir beacon"....... it seems to be a 'recognition' about position. Am i wrong? It seems a device sending 'ir'...... what does it do?
I think i have understood two Ez-platforms can run under same script simply addresing the fuction to the platform. Am i in right?
I want to tell i am totally newbie and i have no experience about ez-b. I still am building the 'structure' of the robot...... At the moment, i am applying servoes to an old '80 robot-toy (very very big!). So, scuse me for this if it seems i make 'stupid questions'...... i need to understand many things....... please, be patient with me.
@odt Please understand there are no " stupid questions" you will find we all try to help others here.
May I suggest you take small steps, experiment with the EZ-B and see what it can do every control has a help button which will explain it to you. you will understand in no time how it works ,then you can decide what you want to connect to it.
I have been using the EZ-B for over two years and I learn something new about it everyday.
I agree with Bravia.
Small steps to get to know the EZ-B and ARC. There is a lot of information in the tutorials. There is even more information in the forums. And if you get stuck just ask, someone will be around to point you in the right direction.
There certainly aren't stupid questions, we all start from somewhere and we all need a hand to guide us at some point.
